Finally someone posted this here. Having this problem since months but I switched to chrome because of this.
All I can add is that the problem occurs only when I use the osx gestures to navigate through pages not when using safaris back button.
So when I swipe back the page refreshes when I click the Back-Button it doesn't. Only happens when adblock is installed.

Could any of you guys give us a link to a page where this happens? I tried uninstalling AdBlock and even disabling the extensions altogether, and it still happens for me. It could be a Safari bug.

If you go to youtube, click on a video and then go back using the trackpad, it reloads the homepage again.

I just tried the same thing on YouTube, and Safari reloads the page regardless of whether AdBlock is installed or not. Do you do anything in particular that makes this behavior change? Do you disable all the extensions with the switch at the top right of the Extensions tab, uncheck the "Enable AdBlock" box, or completely uninstall it? Do you perform any other steps between tests? Do you have any other extensions installed?
Other people in the thread you mentioned in the first post seem to be experiencing the same problem without AdBlock (some of them apparently don't even have any extensions at all). Do any of the other solutions mentioned in that thread, apart from uninstalling AdBlock, fix the problem for you?
Also, could you please possibly try if the same thing happens using the WebKit nightlies (download on nightly.webkit.org) and/or the Safari 6.1 Developer Preview if you have access to an Apple developer account?

I tested it on osx mavericks with only adblock installed and the problem was still there. I also installed the webkit but it didn't help. I tested the problem clicking the on/off button in the extension settings and turning adblock off using the box. When adblock is off the the page doesn't reload, when adblock is enabled the page reloads every time.

Just tested this on latest Mavericks (13A558) and it no longer exhibits the page reload when swiping back.

That's good news! Luuk, could you please test that as well?

Good news! Sorry for the late reaction, but I tested it and the page doesn't reload again when going back. So thats means that it's fixed, thanks!
