Description
Steps to reprodcue:
1. Launch Kitchen Sink in IE
Actual result:
The back and forward buttons of IE are not enabled
Expected result:
The back and forward buttons are enabled
*Note this works in Firefox*
This is because IE9 and older does not support history management. We might be able to artificially support history management using an iframe, but this is not trivial.
Back button support simply isn't there to properly solve this problem. Instead, we are implementing iOS style navigation in TIMOB-7981.
