Default Firefox and back button on this site...

For whatever reason, and I have not experienced this on any other site, the back button in Firefox does not work about half of the time. Kinda strange. It only happnens after reading a thread and I want to return to the thread list in the forum. To return to the previous page, I'm forced to use the drop down list of previously viewed pages immediately adjacent to the "back button" and scroll down to the 2nd item on the list. Has anyone else experienced that on this site?

OK, I've been able to replicate the problem regularly. If you view the contents of a thread, go to another tab (for instance if you viewing the contents of a link to another site while leaving the thread open in the first tab), then return to the original tab after a certain period of time (has to be sufficiently long), you cannot use the back button. Try about a 10 minute wait and you'll see what I mean. This isn't a big problem of course, but I thought I would just bring it up, as I haven't come accross this before on other sites.

It could be related to how long the session time-out is. If you get removed from the session, then requests may not be getting forwarded due to an invalid session id. Alas, I'm not that fluent in .asp and I don't know why this would effect the cached webpages firefox stores...

I just got firefox and started noticing this little hiccup. Happens when the system logs me out for some reason..probably dropped by the session. If I'm not logged in I don't have a problem at all.
