Facebook amateurs

I really surprises me that Facebook, which is supposed to be full of
smart developers, can allow themselves to have some simple things done
wrong. They never got the back button right. While browsing, all the
links open in same window, so when you are in the middle of the very
long "wall" page and click on some link, there's no easy way to get
back there - you need to scroll the whole page. So, you need to
remember to open all links in new tab or window.

The thing that prompted me to write this post is, however, a more serious issue. I was in a middle of a long "wall" page and clicked a link to join a group. Quite a common action, but it uses javascript so you cannot "open in a new tab". I joined the group, and group page opened. I read a little about it (on group's main page, without navigating anywhere) and clicked Back to go back to my "wall"

What a mistake that was: FB completely stuck my browser, switching
back and forth between 2 (or is it 3) pages. I could not press the
Stop button (I could, but it does not stop it), nor select another URL
from the toolbar. It simply entered an endless loop, and I had to kill
Firefox to make it stop.

Looks like all the story about FB developers doing it "cool" and "smart" is not really true once you scratch underneath the surface.
