WORKSFORME build 2001122703.  Try using a newer build.

Reporter,
Please reopen if problem persists or you have additional steps/conditions to
reproduce this bug.  Also, please report any output you see on the JavaScript
console when attempting to click the back button.  (Launch the JavaScript
console from the ``Tasks | Tools | JavaScript Console'' menu item.)

In new 2001122109 release, the main 'back' button still does not work on w2k.
The 'down arrow' does though.

how about a more recent build?

Comment 5

[Samir Gehani]

Can't fix a bug that we can't reproduce.  Could you please try this with a new
profile?  That may help narrow down the source of the problem.  Thanks.

Comment 6

[Serge Skorokhodov]

OK. I tried it using newly created profile and everything worked OK. How can I
repare my default profile?

Comment 7

[Samir Gehani]

OK, so now there is a potential defect that got your profile into this broken
state.  If you don't mind, could you zip (or tar) your profile directory and
attach it to this bug?  (Click on the "Create a New Attachment" link above in
the bug report and manually enter the "Content Type" setting it to
"application/zip".)

This is another profile corruption bug. Adding to safeguard against corruption
tracking bug 123929.

Reporter, can we resolve this bug as worksforme?

As for the profile corrution, I strongly recommend abandoning your old profile.
There is no way to really fix a corrupt one that I know, at least not in a
reliable manner. You can move your bookmarks.html over to your new profile, as
is unlikely to be corrupt.

[Serge Skorokhodov]

I cannot test new Mozilla on Windows due to annoying MAPI settings bug. But I 
believe that this bug can be resolved as it depends on old wrong profile 
settings.

Comment 10

[Andrew Hagen]

Resolving as worksforme on basis of previous comment.

This bug was fixed by creating a new profile.

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

reopen only if this bug is still a problem with a *recent trunk build*.
