197179 - using javascript bookmark then Back doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 193887

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Buschmann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

I use some JS bookmarks to prompt and then go directly to a constructed URL.
Since 1.3b the behaviour changed. First I see the contructed URL written in the
browser window, then the browser properly loads the WEB page. If I then follow a
link in this page, then I can no longer return to this page with Back, or Menu Go.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use JS bookmark (example included)
2. Follow link on loaded page.
3. Cannot go back to original page.




Here is an example of such a bookmark:
javascript:q=document.getSelection();if(!q){void(q=prompt('Enter text to search
using Google.  You can also search any text on this web page by highlighting the
text and clicking Google
Search.',''))};if(q)location.href='http://www.google.com/search?client=googlet&q='+escape(q)
