firefox back button works on flex tabs?

[JeTSpice]

there was a firefox update this weekend. simultaneously, i've noticed that whenever i have a navigational control in flex (like a tabNavigator or an accordion), firefox saves the selected indexes in its history. Meaning, I can hit the back button and Flex reverts to the previously-selected child (or tab, or accordion section)

Has this always been a feature and I am just noticing it? Or is this something new?

Does it affect other components/controls? Modules?

It's called deep linking and has been around since Flex 3 (See BrowserManager class).

Because of it's need for javascript, browser support is an issue with this feature. Firefox must of finally fixed the bug preventing it from working before.
