Clicking "back" button makes Firefox stay on the page with javascript prompt instead of going back

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any page in new tab
2. Enter javascript:prompt('test') and press OK
3. Enter javascript:confirm('test') and press OK
4. Try to go back to the first page using the "back" button

Actual Results:  
It's possible to go back to the prompt page but not to the first page


Expected Results:  
It should be possible to go back to the first page


If in p. 3 you execute alert('test') instead of confirm('test') then you will be able to go back

We don't even allow calling alert or prompt any more from javascript urls (see bug 656433) so I'm just going to close this bug.
