Netsurf's behaviour is a little bit inconsistent or at least 
inconvenient with framesets. For example go to 
http://www.bestmoments.at/catago/BestMoments/FE/Index/index

and click on "ZU DEN BILDERN". The main frame changes but the back 
icon is not enabled. However the menu allows you to select Navigate > 
Back one page. Having gone back to the first page the reverse applies 
and you can go forward one page using the menu but not the toolbar 
icon.

You need to click Menu in the main frame, so I can see what's 
happening but it's not particularly helpful. It would be better if the 
forward and back icons let you step through the 'pages' actually seen 
regardless of their structure. I think most browsers do this.

A further drawback with the present behaviour is that if you arrived 
at the frameset from somewhere else and have been browsing it for a 
while you can click on back which will completely lose your place. 
Then when you click the forward icon you have to start again at the 
beginning. This is particularly bad if the whole site uses one 
frameset or is masked in a frameset which is there to show a different 
domain (don't you hate it when people do that).
