When you hit the 'back' button, you will get to the last page that had a
different URL *ignoring the case*.  This is incomfortable when you browse
through pages whose URL's only difference is the case.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_license
2. Click on the link in "For the free software licence, see Artistic License"
3. Hit the "back" button in the navigation bar

(I hope they don't edit the link on wikipedia till the bug is fixed)
Actual Results:  
You will get to Wikipedia's main page.

Expected Results:  
I expected to get to "Artistic license", which lowercase l.

I believe that URLs whose hostnames differ in case can be regarded equal, but
not so if their file path differs in case.  However I did not find nothing about
this in RFC1738 (URL).

From the comments in bug 99091 this should be fixed in the next major release
(firefox 1.1)
