For webpage with submit button. After submission, if you go back to the 
previous page, the "View Source" feature display the current page instead of 
the previous page.






Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit this website: http://www.hackthissite.org/. Use your username/password 
(free registration) to login. 

2. On the left pane, select "Basic Web Hacking" under Challenges 
(http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/). Provide "password" textbox 
with "ebb86910". Then click "Submit".

3. This will proceed to "level 2" page; leave the "password" textbox blank and 
click on "Submit".

4. This will proceed to "level 3" page; now click on "Back" button. Firefox 
will go back to "level 2" page 
(http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/2/index.php). 



Actual Results:  
HOWEVER if you select "View Source", the content is of "level 3" page 
(http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/3/index.php).

Expected Results:  
We expected the "View Source" feature to display the html code of "level 2" 
page (http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/2/index.php)

Hopefully, I can get an award of USD 500 from you.

The level 1 password was different for me. Just view the source and you can find
it easily enough.

This does indeed look like bug 289301, but I'm not certain.

I believe at least a portion of the USD500 would be mine, as initial discoverer
of the problem :P

Thanks for the crosslink, Jason.
