1076982 - auto refresh after page-back

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[t8av]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0
Build ID: 20140923175406

Steps to reproduce:

I was watching a web page, then I clicked the "go back one page" button.



Actual results:

The previous page was loaded but was refreshed (new data appeared).

This behavior appeared starting the last Firefox version.



Expected results:

The previous page should be loaded with no refreshed (keep old page data as is).
If the user wants to refresh the page, I am sure he/she can easily find the CONTROL+F5 button.

Whenever the user goes back to a previous page, in most cases, he wants to see the old page data exactly the way it was before.

Example? Did you test with a clean profile?

You are right, when I create a new profile, the auto-refresh does not happen.

So, it is a bug, not a new feature.

A bug in your profile probably.
You can test in safe mode to know if an add-on is faulty.
