Q: 

Plain JavaScript execution in Firefox/Internet Explorer after browser navigation

Hello there,

In IE8, history navigation (back/forward) causes code to be executed on the onload handler.

How can I get Javascript in Firefox to also execute after a back or a forward?

Thanks

+1  A: 

set window.onunload = function(){}; after the execution of you onload handler. See @fig-gnuton's answer in After travelling back in Firefox history, javascript won’t run.
