I've noticed this for a week or so. When your on a page that performs automatic refreshing the back button history has multiple entries for the same page. A good example of this is any of the Yahoo baseball pages. These page refresh automaticly every 45 seconds.

reporter, I went to the yahoo.com/sports/mlb and the page doesn't refresh. could you please provide an example page where you see this problem.

solomonr@arist.com - we need a sample page for this problem, as there are several ways refreshing can be achieved. <meta refresh> doesn't seem to add extra copies of a page to the history... Gerv

If you go to http://sports.yahoo.com/ when a game is underway, and click on the inning you will see the problem when you click on the back button. Today there is a game at 1:05 pm EST. The screen reload every 45 seconds when the game is underway.

I tried this using build 2000082208 in Win98. The bug does occur and my team was losing badly while I confirmed this. If you follow his directions, it is easily reproduced, just do it before the season ends :-)

over to history.

This is also observed on Linux 2000082321. The site I go to is http://www.globeinvestor.com/, type in a stock symbol, and then select refresh every 5 minutes just above the table, to the right.

Tracking this one instead of 59272...

This may be the same behaviour as I'm seeing on http://www.mozillazine.org/: at times (reliably but not always) the home page and the build comments page will be added to the back button's history three or four times. I don't see a refresh in either page's source or headers, although I tend to notice it if I've physically reloaded the page.
