Description
http://dev.icesoft.com/svn/repo/qa/trunk/Regression-Icefaces4/Sparkle/Manual/navigationNotifier
Issues found:
1) This component works only in Chrome, but not in IE or Firefox.
2) If using icecore:navigationNotifier with an ace: component on the page (as example ace:panel), there is a browser console error on page load or when mousing over the page (all browsers):
Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function ace-jquery.js.jsf?ln=icefaces.ace&v=4_0_0_140704:3040

Our test application and the showcase demo both expect that notification will occur (showcase) or a counter will be incremented (QA test app) only when the Browser Back/Forward buttons are used.
Issues:
IE 10 - QA test application passes consistently but the in the showcase application it passes about 50% of the time. In fact, every second time.
IE 11 - The tag does not function at all in either application.
FF 31 - The notification is triggered when the page is reloaded, as well as when the Browser Back/Forward buttons are used.
The QA test app can be found at:

Re-implemented icecore:navigationNotifier to use HTML5 features. Only the browsers that support HTML5's new history API will actually be able to detect back/forward navigation.
Here's the list of supported browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE10, and IE11.
Rev. 42540: in the QA test application, the component is not fully functional in Chrome; the counter is updated only when clicking to go back, and not when clicking the "forward" button; not an issue in IE10/11 or Firefox31.

Improved navigation and page reload detection algorithm. Also worked around Chrome's limitation in updating the history state during page unload.
Verified with rev. 42551 in Chrome37, IE10, FF31 in showcase and QA test app.
After lots of unsuccessful debugging to try to find out where Firefox fails to run as expected the component was modified to output the exact same markup as the test page provide with RSH library. Even then the component would not replicate the behaviour found in the test page.
Finally the only difference that could be found was in the response headers for the page load. JSF sends no-cache headers thus forcing the browser to discard the history state saved in the previously loaded page.
The conclusion is that JSF is not a compatible environment for RSH+Firefox.
