The feature "Recent activity on the front page" has a subtle bug (or perhaps it is a feature): clicking on the link always takes you to the most recent activity which may not coincide with what's displaying on the front page.

For example,

User A adds an answer. The front page says: "1m UserA"
If during that minute user B added another answer, clicking on the link "User A" will take you to the answer added by the user B

I have a video that may explain this better: Recent activity bug on SO (engine).

edit Oops I cut too much from the start of the video. If you pause it one or two seconds in you can tell the link says: "5m George Stocker" and following the link takes you to Oscar Reyes' answer.

by design, since the link always goes to the most recent activity. Caching and leaving stale browser windows open will of course link to a 'different' recent activity.
