In almost every case of an error page (Protocol Not Known Error, Address Not
Found Error etc.), the backward link doesn't take you back to the page you
visited before, but skips that page and goes back even further.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open browser, go to www.google.com or anything like that.
2. Force an error page, e.g. by entering hxxp://www.yahoo.com or www.yahoo.zzz
3. 

Actual Results:  
Impossible to go back to the first website google.com
