Bit of an odd one

I've had this happen a couple of times now, once at work on IE6 and I'm pretty sure it happened at home on Firefox too. When I pressed the "Back" button on the browser I got redirected to Yahoo news weather page! It's not a page I've deliberately visited and it didn't appear in the history. This time I was viewing a PM when it happened - can't remember last time.

I also just got 2 email notifications for a single PM.

No clue about the back button.... honest, we don't much around with the browser history.

hey KIA ..
what exactly does the Yahoo toolbar do ?

I had problems with our intranet .. it worked only when i removed the yahoo toolbar ..
It also prevents us from opening certain reports using Citrix ..

Cheers !!

No clue ... would hate to speculate.

I asked the question incase there was some bug which had surfaced in a recent install of the yahoo toolbar -- as doug seemed to get redirected to the yahoo weather page both the times he had the problem.
