Description

[Michael Schonfeld]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008021204 Minefield/3.0b4pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008021204 Minefield/3.0b4pre

Pressing a link, and then another link right before the first one loads, causes both pages to register in the backstack, which in turn causes the "Back" command to load the page of the first link that was pressed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a page with at least two links
2. Click on any link, then before the that link loads, click on another link
3. Hit "Back"
Actual Results:  
The browser loads the page of the first link that was pressed

Expected Results:  
The browser should load the original web page that contained the original links
