It breaks the back function insofar as it adds a new entry to the back history for each new "scroll". This led me to have a list of 20 or so identical "back" entries in FF 1.5.0.1. It doesn't do that in IE6; it works correctly. I don’t know if anyone noticed, but Live.com’s search “infinite scroll bar” doesn’t work the same way in Firefox that it does in IE6.
