Problem: after modifying a filter, while the URL changes, the back button is still disabled and clicking it does not restore the prior filter settings
Steps to reproduce:
- at http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences enable new recent changes filters
- in a new tab open http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
- modify any filter (for example hide logged in users)
- the URL changes but the back button is still disabled
Expected results: the Back button works. When clicked once it comes back to the old setting (the logged in users are shown again)
