Why do they depend on this and why would they block Mozilla? I find this behaviour *extremely* annoying, both as an end-user (why doesn't the stupid back button work when I'm offline?!?) and as a webmaster (I store some data in the session cookie when this page is loaded, therefore we will get into trouble later if this page is retrieved from cache, but I can't send a header telling the browser not to cache it 'coz then the friggin' back button won't work!!!). /Jonas
