I noticed the back button skipping a page when I would get an error page (by
turning error pages on).

works with firefox 2?

Comment 6

[Alexey N. Solofnenko]

I have tried it with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061208 Firefox/2.0.0.1 ID:2006120814. It is still a problem. The problem can be because the last page never finishes loading (JavaScript?).

I can reproduce this using Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Mac OS X or on Ubuntu 6.10. I do, however, get some "phantom" entries in the back button, but that's likely due to Javascript on the page. Alexey, are you sure you can reproduce this with Firefox 2.0.0.3 or later? Additionally, can you please try with a new profile?

I meant *can't* in comment 7 not *can*.

If you can still reproduce this with a clean profile, please let us know.

I just tried with "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3" and back button still skipped a site.

Hm, I can indeed confirm this with Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Windows. One thing I noticed is that as soon as you use the forward button to get back to 511.org, going back works properly. That may have been my mistake in comment 7.

I don't see any obvious dupes (bug 255218 et al are related to error pages being there and this doesn't have any error pages), so confirming as well.
