I've seen this behavior before on several occasions, but I could never reproduce it willingly. It seemed to be somehow related to the wheel mouse.
Are you sure you're not accidentally hitting the ALT key somewhere in there? That will go back, for sure.
Also, fwiw, I've never seen this.
absolutely sure, I can do this without touching the keyboard it's reproducible on the mailing list page on postoffice
Can you post a url as a private comment?
So I finally saw a friend of mine do this. It turns out that what was happening was when he was scrolling violently he would accidentally push down on the scrolling wheel and would cause a middle click to happen. If there was a url selected (usually the last url loaded) it would paste it and it would appear to "go back." Is it possible that this is happening here? Once again, I've never seen it happen to me, but it happens to him all the time.
I've seen that happen, too .. thinking about it more it's possible that this also happened in the first bug report since I'm not sure whether or not I had the URL the browser went back to in my cut'n'paste buffer somewhere... Lets leave this bug as NEEDINFO until we know for sure ?
Sure, let me know if you find anything more out.
Haven't seen this in ages.
if I scroll the mouse button fast enough, mozilla interprets it like I clicked the back button and goes back to the previous page I visited. It's right!
