If I have a textbox, for example, in a table and I type in some value and go to
another page and come back, then the textbox will be blank.  However once I put
the table in a form then the value is retained when coming back to that page. 
It also works fine if the input control is not in a table or a form.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. copy and paste this code to see simple example

<html>
  <body>
  Type some value in each textbox...<br><br>
  
  In a table in a form:
  <form>
    <table border=1 cellpadding=5>
        <tr>
            <td><input type=text id=text2></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
  </form>
  
  Just in table:
      <table border=1 cellpadding=5>
        <tr>
            <td><input type=text id=text2></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    
  <br>Not in form or table:<br>
    <input type=text id=text1>
    
   <br><br><a href="http://www.mozilla.org">click here to go another page and
then click back button to see remaining values</a>
    
  </body>
</html>
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The second textbox control, which is the textbox that is a table but not in a
form doesn't retain its value.

Expected Results:  
Should have retained the inputted text.
