Navigating to previous page not working in Firefox

[sacm3bill]

As of yesterday, navigating to a previous page on the Sandtrap site appears to be broken on Firefox. Neither the backspace key nor the left arrow button is working.  I am seeing this on two different computers, both running Firefox 8.0 (latest version, and last update was prior to seeing this issue). Navigating to the previous page still works for any other site in my browser, just not this one. I'm also not seeing an issue on IE.

Sometimes I can get to a previous page by double- or triple-clicking the left arrow button, but it's very non-deterministic as to whether it goes back 1 page, 2 pages, or not at all.

Anyone else seeing this?

Watch the ads on the right side of the screen as you press backspace.  It is working, it's just that there's more pages than you're aware of.  Specifically, watch the Featured Sponsors area.

Firefox 8.0 is a disaster. When Mozilla updated to 8.0, I was having issues at work and home---crashes, page load problems. All my computers at work and home are now running on Google Chrome without incidents. If you prefer Apple/Macs, I hear Safari works great.

Thought I should elaborate.  If you watch the Featured Sponsors area as you backspace/left arrow/etc, you'll notice that the ad links disappear one at a time.  It looks like Firefox is picking up an individual page load for each ad.  Thus, when you backspace, it's going one page/ad back each time.  Eventually it will actually go back to the previous page.  Thus the difference you're seeing, it probably depends on how many of those ads you loaded.

OMG. Lame. So did the Featured Sponsor "feature" just get added yesterday? Would we consider this a Firefox defect or a Huddler defect?

I've noticed in the past that Firefox has picked up additional pages like this.  I'm not really sure why it's doing this now.  I know I haven't updated Firefox in quite a while and up till last night, was able to backspace once to get to the previous page.  If I had to guess, I'd say the site/huddler has changed but I can't say with a certainty.

I don't see that at all in Chrome or Firefox.

Whatever the issue, it's a known issue at Huddler and they should have a fix soon, if there isn't one already.

Good news, thanks Erik.

I think this is fixed again.  I'm able to hit back once and it works.
