(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Tom Kralidis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

This problem is independent of a webpage.  The back button is not clickable at
any point in the app.  This may or may not apply to the forward button as well.

The functionality to navigate back also applies to a 'right-click' action in
attempting to navigate back.  The option is greyed out.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Mozilla
2. navigate to any URL
3. click any link on link on that page for a new URL
4. see back button not working
Actual Results:  
I was unable to navigate backwards in Mozilla

Expected Results:  
Mozilla was expected to navigate to the previous viewed webpage

Check bug 126826 and bug 164407. I haven't read through all of those bugs but
this seems like the sort of problem that might be solved by either:
a) Creating a new profile (or possibly deleting compeg.dat per bug 164407,
although that should be fixed now).
b)Increasing the value of Session history per bug 126826 <--this sounds like the
most likely problem
c)Reinstalling Mozilla (particually if you installed over a previous build)

I suggest you check the other bugs and mark this as a duplicate of one of those
if appropriate.

Please close Mozilla and delete your history file and try it again.

bug 182970 was resolved as dupe of bug 126826, but I think this is
actually a new regression (happens in recent builds around mid or late
November). Should we keep one of these new bugs open and identify what
the problem is?
