The "Back" button used in the "firstboot" utility is not working properly. It is often disabled, and if it is enabled, pressing it has no effect. Consequently, during Subscription Management Registration, clicking "Back" does not return you to the previous panel. If you want to go back, enter an invalid server or invalid credentials and click "Done". After this, either an "Unable to reach the server" dialog or an "Unable to register the system" dialog appears at the top of the initial "firstboot" panel. Dismiss the error dialog, and choose the "No, I prefer to register at a later time" option.

Additional info:
I am trying to close just about all firstboot bugs, but in this case I kind of think something needs to be done.
I believe what we're seeing here is the result of us being the only remaining firstboot module. Because there's no other module to go back to, it does nothing.
Ideally it should just let you "re-start" our module. I'm worried this is a firstboot problem itself, which is unmaintained now, but we should investigate and see if there's anything we can do.
