150622 - No 'Back' functionality in 1.0

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Allan Lawlor]

I just upgraded to Mozilla 1.0 and was surprised to see that the Back function
no longer works. Not only does the back button not work, but "right-click >
Back" is greyed out and "alt+left_arrow" does nothing. Makes browsing extremely
difficult.

Allan: something has probably got messed up on your machine in "upgrading".

try uninstalling mozilla and then reinstalling and see if that works.  if not,
try creating a new profile and see if that works.

email to me from reporter:
: The uninstall/reinstall seems to have solved most of
: my problems. A few still exist in my old profile
: (mostly with the Mail client) but new profiles work
: well.
: 
: Thanks for the advice.
: Allan

resolving WFM based on that.  thanks Allan.

Hmm... 

To my knowledge there exists several reports about the back button not working
as it should do, and as ar as I know, reinstalling/making new profiles was of no
help in any cases before.

That is why I think we actually should reopen this bug and dupe it into bug
126826    as it could be interesting to know actually how the reporter got rid
of this problem.

> reinstalling/making new profiles was of no help in any cases before.
That's wrong. I saw 3-5 bugs where uninstalling/deleting old files in the 
mozilla folder\reinstalling fixed this.
