Details

Go to http://www.freedom2surf.net/home/home.htm
On the left are several buttons, Use the support button but open the link in a
new window (using the middle button of the mouse under linux).
This should open a new window with the URL
http://www.freedom2surf.net/support/support%20home.htm
Browse around a bit in this new window.
Notice that the back button is disabled.

This has something to do with the fact that the page you open in the new window
is a frameset.  You can enable the back button by hitting <enter> in the URL bar
of the new window before browsing around.
That's not a bug, it's a feature! (AFAIK)

The back button is disabled because the new window have no history, you haven't
been on any pages with it.
This is a dupe of bug 22788
