Then when the browser is closed, the history would be automatically deleted. Mozilla version 1.2.1 does not maintain any history if the user sets history to 0 days. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In the Preferences menu, select "Navigator->History" 2. Set "Remeber visited pages for the last" to 0 days. 3. Open any Web page and click on any link to open the linked page. 4. Press the Back button to return to the previous page. Actual Results: The Back button is grayed out. Thus, the user cannot even return to the previous page. Expected Results: If "Remeber visited pages for the last" to 0 days. Mozilla should keep current session history in memory. Then both the Back and Forward browser buttons would work correctly. When the browser is closed, the Mozilla should free the memory, including the History maintained in memory.

Duplicate of 126826? Certainly related.
worksforme, linux trunk build 2003-01-23-05. Setting the global history to 0 days does not affect session history (and there is no reason why it should). Are you sure you did not set the session history length pref to 0 as well?
Works for me with WinXP and build 20030123.
