Is anyone else getting cached pages instead of live ones when moving back a page?

I have only noticed it on cnn.com, but when I am on the main page and click to read a story and then page back, the page I go back to is an old, probably cached page, not the main page I was just previously seeing. If I refresh, the proper live page then returns. It is not happening with other browsers.

>> getting cached pages instead of live ones when moving back a page<<

I'm having exactly the same problem... it essentially makes "Back" option in the "3dot" menu unusable.

This is obviously a bug, but it needs to be addressed... it's a strong reason to abandon Android Firefox for Chrome... which I would prefer not to do.

I will post a "workaround" kludge, but it should not be necessary to do this.

  • Instead of <tapping> a link, <tap/hold>
  • Select "Open in New Tab"
  • Open Tab

When finished with the link, closing the Tab will return you to the page where you opened the tab.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance, Beverly Howard
