If you add a javascript based bookmark (for google searches), follow a link from
the resulting search, then hit back, nothing happens. Selecting the history item
previous to the google search from the back buttons history dropdown works, you
just cannot navigate (Back or Forward) to that javascript bookmarks resulting page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add above URL as a bookmark, click on it for the popup, enter search terms.
2. Google's page comes up with the results, click on one of the links.
3. Hit the Back button, nothing should happen.

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Go back a page. :P

The only change I noticed from 1.2.1 to 1.3b was the brief pause that displays
the resulting URL from the javascript query in the browser, then loading the
page. 1.2.1 would just bring up the page immediately.
Hum.. I'm not sure if that back button history bit makes sense or not, hehe.

To expand a bit:

Start out at slashdot, hit the google search bookmark and get your results,
click on a link. You cannot move back to the google search page once you are at
the new page, but from the back button history, you can select slashdot and go
back to it.

Hitting forward from slashdot doesn't work.

I've dup'd 194015 to this, as they are almost identical.  I think this may
in turn be a dup of bug 193887, but I'm not sure.  I can confirm the behavior
listed in this bug report... broken on 1.3B.
