Back button redirects to new page?
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 6:10 pm
OK, I'm sorry if this is a known issue, but I did a search and didn't see anything similar.
I'm running Firefox 3.6b5 and have NoScript set to block all scripts, but temporarily allow top-level sites by default (full addresses).
So, I ran into a few sites today that did something I have never seen before. When I hit the back button (or backspace) in Firefox, I was directed to a completely new site rather than the previous page in my history list.
Three Questions:
1) Is this something new that dastardly site admins are dropping on users or has this been around for a while?
2) Can we prevent this kind of behavior (even for white-listed sites) with the current build of NoScript? (1.9.9.30)
3) If not, is this kind of protection in development at the moment?
Thanks in advance!
