104942 - Back button doesn't work on CNN site.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103978

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Andrew Gillham]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011
BuildID:    2001101117

From an internal homepage, I enter "www.cnn.com" and the back button stops
working.  e.g. I can't click "back" to return to the home page, or if I click on
a story I can't click "back" to get to the main CNN page again.  Works fine with
IE6.  It is almost like it is opening a new browser window (and not having any
history) for each link.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. load browser and enter "www.cnn.com"
2. click on the main story.
3. see that back button is greyed out and can't be used.

Actual Results:  Normal page rendering, but can't use the back button, or
"Alt-left arrow" or "Go -> Back" on the menu.


Expected Results:  Back button should work as expected.  Clicking the dropdown
arrow on the back button should show a history, etc.

I noticed this problem after installing build 2001100902, but not with the
previous build I was using (from August-ish, 2001).  This is either a
recently-created Mozilla bug, or CNN has changed something in the last few days.

Works for me using today's build (2001101513), i686-pc-linux.
