Back button isn't working properly on YouTube in FF 47.

It doesn't actually go back to the previous visited PAGE, but the most recent previous VIDEO, or in some cases, the page you visited before you went to YouTube. Like, search for something, click one of the videos, and then hit "back", you don't get back to the page with the search results. or clicking a video in the list of videos on a user, the back button doesn't go back to that list either.

This is... very annoying.

A workaround is; when you find a link you want to check out, open it in a new tab.

You can hold down the left mouse button on the Back button or right-click this button to open the tab history drop-down list.

That brings up the heavily truncated back-list and doesn't help at all.
