So I've been looking at history.go('URL') to reload a previuos page accessed by the user.

It used to be history.go(-1) which works fine but sometimes it gets too deep. All i want was just to 'jump' back to the parent page without a trip to the server.

Now, in IE i have managed to fix this using history.go('full URL') and setting it via referer and some tweaks.

But in Firefox this doesn't work simply because it only takes a number.

In some forums it was mentioned that netscape browsers support this property.

Was there a reason the firefox chose not to implement this?
