I do this in 2000080108 M18 Win98:

(1) Start Browser.  Go to http://www.aol.com
(2) Go to http://www.mozilla.org/foo (an invalid URL, so Mozilla returns a Not 
Found error page)
(3) Go to http://www.mozilla.org/foobar (another invalid URL, so another Not 
Found error page is returned)
(4) Press back. I'm brought back to the error response for mozilla.org/foo (as 
indicated by the URL bar)
(5) Press back. I'm brought back to aol.com

Thus, it works fine.  Without more specific steps to reproduce, more detailed 
information from you, or a retest from you on later builds (6/13 is far too 
old), I'm marking this wfm...It's not enough to report a bug and forget about 
it (especially if the bug is grossly lacking in detail/information)
