User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+ Sometimes when I click the Back button to return to pages I just viewed, the links I previously clicked on are surrounded by a "phantom" focus border. Sometimes they are considered "visited" and sometimes they aren't, but I haven't been able to determine exactly what causes this to happen (other than it only happens when the Back button is used to return to pages). I just noticed it only happens when the Back button is used. I'd file this as an engine bug, except I don't seem to recall Firefox 1.0.4 doing this. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.I surfed like I normally do, clicking on links. I come to a situation where it's easier to click on a link, view the content, then hit "Back" to return (Image galleries are especially good for this). 2.I view the content, then hit the "Back" button to return to the previous page. Actual Results: Sometimes, the link is marked "visited", like it should be. And sometimes the focus border appears around the links I clicked. I did notice that if it's only the last link clicked, the border acts like the normal focus border (clicking on the page makes it disappear). However, if multiple links have this phantom border, clicking only removes the last one that appeared. Expected Results: The links should be marked visited, and no border should be produced. I'm using the default theme, so I don't think that's the problem. I don't believe this problem is caused by any of the extensions I'm using, because I used the standard click action.
