Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 123662

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Alan Batie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

I occasionally run into a weird problem reading slashdot: I'll read an article
(this morning, I clicked on the Results link in the Poll), and after reading it,
click Back to go back to the article index page.  It pops up a dialog box saying
"/. not found".  If I use the history to go back to the link before slashdot
(which has a link to slashdot) and click on the slashdot link, it works.  If I
remember right, the Forward button doesn't.  It's not doing it again now, but
when it happens again, I'll put in some more details.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  go to slashdot.org
2.  click on a link
3.  click on the back button

Actual Results:  
dialog box: "/. not found"

Expected Results:  
gone back to the article index page
