Continue button in different browsers redirects differently

I am using IE8 on W7.
I am in Core Configuration Manager
I am on the services page
I click the Apply Configuration button
The configuration applies OK and I am presented with the Continue button.
I click the Continue button.
I am taken back to the services page

I am using Firefox 3.6 on W7.
I am in Core Configuration Manager
I am on the services page
I click the Apply Configuration button
The configuration applies OK and I am presented with the Continue button.
I click the Continue button.
I am taken to the Monitoring Configuration Snapshots page

Problem: Continue button under Firefox should take me back to the services page from whence I came.

If memory serves the buttons simply call the "Back" function in JavaScript. This should simulate hitting the back button X number of times. Try this w/o using the JS, perhaps IE and FF count differently.

I don't consider this to be a feature effecting issue, but thank you for reporting it.

How do I actually test this?

I understand however I have not been to the Monitoring Configuration Snapshots page in this session yet I am redirected to it when clicking the Continue button.

My exact steps to reproduce the problem:
  • Close all web browsers open
    Open Firefox
    Go the Nagios XI login page
    Type my username and password and then click the Login button
    Click the Configure Link at the top
    Click Core Configuration Manager
    Type my username and password and then click the Login button
    I click Services
    I click the Modify icon for an existing service
    I modify the Service description field
    I click the Save button
    I click OK on the "Form check" prompt
    I click Yes on the "Secure question" prompt
    I click the Apply Configuration button
    I click the Continue button
    I am redirected to the "Monitoring Configuration Snapshots" page
So if I have not been there at all then there is no way I can go "back" to the Monitoring Configuration Snapshots page.

Thanks for the report! This is indeed a bug. See: http://tracker.nagios.com/view.php?id=15

We'll get this fixed for the 2009R1.1G release due in the next day or two.
