Why does Firefox (14.0.1) sometimes ask to bookmark page when I press Back?

Sometimes (about 2 in 5) Firefox will ask me if I want to save a bookmark when I go Back one page, regardless of whether I hit the Backspace key or Left Arrow button. I don't want to add a bookmark. Why is it doing this?

Hi,

Please check if this happens in Safe Mode. Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.
