Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 881964

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[José Jeria]

Build ID: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0

Tested on a MacBook Pro (early 2013) with retina display with clean profile, no extensions

STR:
1. go to www.dn.se
2. scroll down a bit
3. click on any link
4. go back slowly to trigger swiping animation

Actual results:
Sometimes you go back to a blank page and not the page you were on. See video.

I also noticed that the page jumps down a bit when clicking on a link, this can be seen on the video at 00:07 - 00:08.

I noticed now that this might be an issue with the website itself. I need to go back as well 2 times using Firefox 25 beta. Might not be related to the swiping animation.

What happens in other browsers, like Safari, Chrome and Opera?

Safari 7 and latest Chrome goes back on www.dn.se directly without any issues. This works fine in Firefox as well once I turned off JavaScript. Must be some script on that page causing this issue.

I've seen similar broken behavior (before implementing swipe animations) when the page used pushState [1] to manipulate the browser history. Not sure if that's what's going on here.
