For the next sailfish release please enable more permanent back and forward buttons and gesture support to navigate the native web browser.

Currently when you interrupt a web page load you cannot navigate back or forward to continue loading because the buttons are missing.

The backbutton amd forward button exists but disappears and cannot be made to reappear depending on where the web page loading times out or gets stuck.

You cannot move forward to pages previously loaded quickly through a browser forward button or gesture amd multiple timea. Ideally the browser should cache and maintain the last say 50 page loads until browser ose.

thanks coderus, when expanding the bottom panel the forward button shows.

a thought - it would be nice if long press on refresh button reloads the tab from the original bookmark in case it gets stuck. i am spending a lot of time closing and opening the browser or tabs due to failed or hanging loads. those happen either due to network slow, interruptions, or drop down/pull down menues incorrectly identified and rendered by the sailfish browser. For the second issue only a new browser usually works (where flash or java is required and popups have to be allowed), for the first issue a program update could force tab reloads.
