234266 - The history is not updated once the drop down listing is full. No new sites are added and the latest url is not placed at the top.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 177360

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[John Conde]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

When using other browsers (Mozilla, IE), the history adds sites typed into the
Location Bar, newest on top. Firebird .8 is not quite doing that. Once I reach
maximum capacity of the history, sites are no longer added. Also, newer sites
are being added to the bottom of the history as opposed to the top. This is also
the case when choosing a URL from the history (it does not move to the top of
the history).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type in a heck of a lot of URLs
2. Click on any URL in the history (to verify that it does not move to the top
of the history)
3.

Actual Results:  
Newer sites are added to the bottom of the history and, once the history is
full, no more sites are added. Clicking on a site in the history does not move
it to the top of the history.

Expected Results:  
Added the most recent site to the top of the list included URLs selected from
the list.

Hi John,

The "history order" part of this bug is bug 177360. The rest of the bug should
also be fixed once new entries are added to the top.

cheers
