You can't. The browser's history cannot be modified. However, you
can use `self.location.replace(url);` in some browsers to replace
the current page in the history.

"The browser's history cannot be modified."
relate to:
"to replace the current page in the history."
If history cannot be modified, it also should not be possible to replace
an item in history?

Niccolò Machiavelli explained this was considered not very usefull
in his age and in any other, because some points of history can be
unscrupulously overwritten, or not even filled faithfully:
"On dit et cela se répète sans beaucoup de réflexions, que les traités
sont inutiles, puisqu'on n'en remplit presque jamais tous les points, et
qu'on n'est pas plus scrupuleux là-dessus dans notre siècle qu'en tout
autre."

So do like Niccolò, never trust browsers, even non-IE, to do as
promissed.
