According to _basic@yahoo.com, this bug was caused by the fix to bug
65169, "page with meta-refresh set to 0secs shouldn't be added to session
history".

I don't believe there is a bug here. The above url does not do any redirection
when javascript is disabled. It just serves a different content when javascript
is disabled. The back/forward button behavior si rightr sicne there was no page
inbetween when javascript is disabled.

It seems that the page has changed. It was a valid bug when it was first reported.

I see what you are saying. This is a feature of the browser. There are numerous
sites that use meta refresh to redirect users to other sites in a short period
of time. The browser will not add the original url to session history if the
duration of transfer to other site happens in < 15 seconds. If this is not
done, then clicking back at the destination site will bring you to the original
url which will again redirect. You can not get out of this situation. Marking
won't fix.

Umm that is not entirely true, with moz you have a drop down that can get around
that. Personally I would prefer to have a record of all the urls I have visited,
but I see the convenience this brings for many users. Maybe it should be a pref?

I think you can see the original url in global history. Tools->history and the
history sidebar panel.
Heh, didn't notice that, thanks for the tip. Still I'd like to be able to see
the history in the order I visited them, I guess that is part of a different bug
about the history tool.
