Description

[Gene Wood [:gene]]

Back button doesn't work as expected in the new INXPO airmo

When browsing for a video on the new air mozilla
* Select a network
* Select a channel
* Click the back button

# Expected Results

The user would be taken back to the browser screen in the network that they were in

# Actual Results

The user is taken back to the browse screen with no network selected

# Why does this matter?

User's expect to be able to use the back button to navigate sites. Here are some resources that talk about why and how

This issue was originally reported in ServiceNow INC0025694 and it was suggested to workaround this bug this way

"Once you have selected a channel, mouse over the hamburger in upper left labeled "GUIDE". This will give you a clickable listing of all the other channels in the currently selected network. If you would like to return to the top level, mouse over your icon on the upper right and select "HOME"."

This workaround however should be temporary and this fundamental web standard of the back button taking you to the previous page should be followed and this bug fixed.
