I am able to reproduce this on Win 8 x64, Win 7 x64, Mac OS X and Ubuntu, using:
- Firefox 31 Beta 9 (BuildID: 20140710141843)
- latest Firefox 32 Aurora (BuildID: )
- latest Firefox 33 Nightly (BuildID: 20140714030201)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Firefox with a new profile.
2. Navigate to "google.com" (in my case it redirects to google.ro, but this should be irrelevant).
3. Type in "mozilla firefox" and hit Enter.
4. Click the first link and then (before the page loads) the Back button.
5. Click the second link and then (before the page loads) the Back button.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 a few times.

Expected results: 
User is returned to the google search page with "mozilla firefox" in the search field, and search results displayed.

Actual results:
User is returned to the google search page with empty input field, and so no results are displayed.

Notes:
- you may need to repeat steps 4-5 a few times, or even try again steps 1-5 to reproduce this, but the issue is fairly easily reproducible.
- this is NOT a recent regression, as I'm able to reproduce this back to Firefox 8.0.1
- I could not reproduce this behavior on Google Chrome or Internet Explorer
