234272 - I click on a link on the webboard. I hit the BACK button, I get "page not available dialog with OK only". Firebird would go back and refresh the browse page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 172305

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8


As stated above, I go to the link, browse any number of articles.
I cannot reproduce the error on demand, but I can reproduce the error after a while

Firebird would go back to the browse page and refresh it which isn't exactly
what I wanted.  IE will go back to the cached page no problem.  firefox will
complain with a new dialog that the browse page doesn't exist with OK only
dialog.  The only way to go back to the web-board is to change the URL.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.browse an article
2.hit the back button to view the available articles
3.get 'page doesn't exist" "ok only" dialog

Actual Results:  

requires me to blow out the URL. This behavior was introduced with firefox. 
Firebird did not cause me this issue.

Expected Results:  

Return to the cached web board page.

Reporter, based on the information you've given, this is either a duplicate of
bug 123662 or bug 172305, but I can't tell which (I'd lean towards bug 172305,
but I'm not positive).  Can you either give some more information or resolve
this as a duplicate of the correct one?  (I think a reporter can resolve his own
bug, so just comment with more info if I'm wrong.)  Thank you!

Marking as a duplicate of the correct bug based on email response from reporter...

When you're there, you can comment, add your email address to the list that gets

Bugzilla is somewhat confusing at first, but it's really not as difficult as it
looks as long as you're careful in what you change.  If you have other
questions, please respond privately, as posts here go out to a lot of people
