This issue is most easily reproducible with Wikipedia's mobile site.

- Change your user agent in Safari to Mobile Safari
- Navigate to Wikipedia.org, click through to an article
- Now try to navigate back - you will be unable to leave Wikipedia as back takes you to a page that performs a redirect.

It looks like Firefox adds a history entry for the page that has the redirect, but seems to skip it for back navigation.
