Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20070628 Minefield/3.0a6pre

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Firefox
2. Navigate around to other Tinderbox pages, go back to the Firefox page. Let the page automatically reload automatically, press the Go button to reload the page.
3. Click a link in one of the <iframe>s in the left sidebar; i.e. "SeaMonkey is closed, 6/28 17:28".

Actual results:
Nothing happens. Clicking the link doesn't take me to its destination.

Expected results:
I'm taken to the SeaMonkey tinderbox page.

Note that step 2 sorta sucks. I'm really not sure how to get into the state where this happens, but it's also happened to me in Bonsai on pages such as this: http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=mozilla/embedding/config&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=basebrowser-mac-macho&rev1=1.57&rev2=1.58&root=/cvsroot in the frame there. Will try to get exact steps to reproduce.
Hrm, so I can reproduce this every time as follows:

1. Go to http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Firefox.
2. Click the link in the SeaMonkey tinderbox <iframe> in the left sidebar ("SeaMonkey is closed, 6/28 17:49").
3. (SeaMonkey tinderbox page should load.)
4. Press the Back button to go back to the Firefox tinderbox page.
5. Click the link in the SeaMonkey tinderbox <iframe> again.

Boris, does this sound like something the patch for bug 371360 could've caused?

Yep.  It does indeed.  ;)
