38697 - back button fails to correctly repost some form data

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 17685

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Justin Guyett]

The best example of this problem is at imdb.com.  Simply search for a keyword
that has multiple hits.  "highlander" and "night" and "horror" are some
examples.  Then click on one of the search results.  Once the resulting page
loads, click the back button.  Mozilla fails to go back to the search results;
instead, imdb returns a generic advanced search page, presumably because mozilla
isn't reposting the original search query properly.

one example:
www.imdb.com -> search for "highlander" -> click on highlander (1986) -> click
the mozilla back button -> This should return to the list of search results but
doesn't.
