I used a javascript.write function that created some links in a page and when
browsing back to the page the links were gone. I am using the newest version so
you should be able to see the error yourself.

This message("Information", Not "Error" nor "Warning") can be re-produced by
following minimized test case.
 (1) Load a page => <P>'s are displayed 
 (2) Click a <P> => a <A> is displayed.
     But loading doesn't complete due to no document.close.
 (3) Click the <A> => Image is displayed
 (4) Back => above messages is displayed,
             <A> only page is displayed again normaly.
 (5) Switching among 3 pages by Back/Forward has no problem here after. 
      - Original page <==> <A> only page <==> Image page
No problem at step (3) if "document.close();" is written properly.

To bug reporter :
Your coding is not for "adding some links in a page", instead incomplete coding
of above test case(lack of document.close step).
If you want to replace your page by generated links, write at least
"document.close()" properly, and write other tags required for valid/well formed
XHTML document.
If you want to add generated links to you page, use standard way for adding HTML
element, combination of document.createElement & OBJECT.appendChild.

WADA: so is this invalid?

> WADA: so is this invalid?
Sorry but I don't know whether it's user's error or Mozilla's problem is
involved, although I think INVALID.
I was testing this out and even the most basic document.write from an html file
fails now in the deerpark alpha2. In Firefox 1.0 this generates a new window
with the words "hello world".
        
win = window.open("","test");      
win.document.write("hello world");     
win.document.close();

Possibly the bug should be elevated to normal or major since this would break
many web applications that use javascript to write to the document of a frame.

Mark, your problem is different problem from this bug.
It sounds regression or new problem caused by some enhancements under
development such as Bug 296639 or Bug 274784.
Test with newest firefox/nightly/latest-trunk build under newly created profile,
and if problem still remains, test with some older builds to identify regression
window, and search Bugzilla, then open new bug when completely new problem.
No response from bug opener for more than one month...
Closing as INVALID.
Reporter, re-open this bug, if and only if problem still occurs even when no
user error is invloved in your problem, please.
