If you go to CNET's news.com site in Firefox and click on an article, 
you get an entry in your "Back" buffer as expected.  What I DON'T expect 
is to get additional links in the back buffer as I scroll down the page 
(which does happen).  In other words, I expect the back button to take 
me to the last link I CLICKED.

In my opinion this new behavior is wrong if for no other reason than 
it's inconsistent among web sites.
