    We have a site that requires login.  After a user logs in, they are shown the standard login redirect page, and are then taken to the home page.  The problem: if a user clicks a link on the homepage, then hits the back button (to go back to the home page) they see the login redirect again, and have to wait for the homepage to redirect/load again.  I have received complaints from several users about this.

    The problem only happens in firefox as far as I can tell. IE works fine.  For some reason after the page loads, the source code does not refresh to the home page’s source code, it still shows the redirect page’s source, even though the home page is loaded.

    You can see an example of what I’m talking about if you try logging into expression engine’s site. It won’t happen if you have your info saved, but after a fresh login & redirect you will be able to see the same behavior.

    I have tried using twomile’s extension to bypass the login redirect. However, our server runs on IIS and I get a CGI error when I tried using it, so that extension is not an option.

    Do you have any other suggestions on how to fix this issue?
