Ask HN: HN page dead after using back button
This behavior began a day or two ago. I use Ubuntu 14.04 and Firefox 40.0 (latest updates). From the HN page, traversing to cited link (and possibly others) then returning via the back button takes me back to the index page, but all links on the page are frequently dead. Reloading does not fix the problem. The only recovery is to kill off the browser and restart. The failure happens frequently, but not all the time.
Is this a HN problem a Firefox problem, or what? Does anyone else see this behavior?
- davismwfl 11y agoThis basically happens on my iPad in Chrome too except I don't have to restart usually, just hit refresh to get the page back. I have never had it happen on my mac laptop or Android phone though. Never looked into it but I noticed it probably 3-4 months ago, just didn't bother looking into it as I just am not using my iPad that much anymore since it has gotten so slow and buggy in the past year.
