417484 - Forward and Back hooks no longer working

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve Borho]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12

Last night my Firefox auto upgraded to v 2.0.0.12.  The Forward and Back controls from my Logitec mouse, which worked previously, no longer work.  They still work in IE and MS Word so I don't think it's a mouse or system malfunction.  I'm using windows XP SP2.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
When I press the Back button the first time on the mouse the pointer briefly changes to the hourglass, then back to normal.  The page does not go back.  When I press again the pointer does not change

Expected Results:  
Pressing the back button should go back.  Pressing the forward button should go forward.

I made sure to have several pages in the back / forward list.  This negatively affects my browsing experience, especially when working with searches to find new products or information because the back button is used frequently.

@Reporter, we have not heard back from you in a while, so I am closing this bug as INCOMPLETE. You can reopen this bug if more information becomes available. Some helpful information you can provide us is found at http://quality.mozilla.org/bug-writing-guidelines. You should also use a recent version of Firefox, from http://www.getfirefox.com.
