Kobo's Footnotes info here. The section starting with this:

Warning: Hyperlinked content not using the epub:type attribute footnote or endnote will display as a pop-up on Kobo's iOS and eInk platforms in cases where all the following criteria are met.

You shouldn't need to be restricted to using the breadcrumbs to get back where you came from, though. The publisher *should* provide a return link to get back, but if they haven't there should be [Back to page xxx] button on the left above the breadcrumb bar.

That's the way it's always been on the eInk Kobos, I'm afraid. the footnote pop-up widget seems to be of the PlainText variety rather than RichText.

I also see this. I'm not sure whether it's always been this way as the buttons do work as expected in other parts of the GUI.
