When you fill a form and you use a "dead key" (for example to write a '¨')
without giving a character to go with (for example, you want to write 'â'. But
you first write '¨' and you want to delete it to put a '^' instead), a bug
appears if you use the key "backspace" to delete wrong typing...
(I hope my explanation can be understandable). Of course, you need to have at
least one address in your history so that the bug appears...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page that have a link to another which contain a form. Click on the
link to go to the page with the form.
2. Select one text field, and type next keys : 'a' '¨' 'backspace'.

Actual Results:  
As a result, you will be back at previous page.

Expected Results:  
Simply delete the token '¨'
