181204 - Preferences..Navigator..startup option #3 not working properly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58613

(Core Graveyard :: History: Global, defect)

Description

[Seb Tomasini]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021120

Using startup option 3 under Preferences..Navigator "Last Page Visited" does not
work properly with some sites. I suspect this may have to do with the sites
containing Java applets which the browser is remembering as the last "page".

NB requires Java runtime to be installed, I'm using 1.4.1_01 Sun Java.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fire up mozilla. Mine is set to start at page "blank". Set up preferences to
"last page visited". OK the preferences dialog, and enter "news.bbc.co.uk" in to
the URL bar and hit return.
2. BBC news website appears
3. Close Mozilla
4. Restart Mozilla
Actual Results:  
Mozilla starts with the page
"http://news.bbc.co.uk/ticker/ticker_applet.252.htm" which is a (java applet)
subcomponent of the page being previously viewed, not the whole page.

Hi,
That is a problen remaining from netscape communicator.This source is based off
netscape communicator 4.05. It has improved in mozilla over the time though. SO
that is good.

The ticker is in an iframe. Dup of bug 58613.
