When the error pages are enabled instead of the error messages, something goes
wrong in the browser and an error message appears, it's not possible to go back
to the previous webpage by clicking on the back-button, it's disabled.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable error pages, set config var "browser.xul.error_pages.enabled" to true
2. Create a simple html page with a link to an nonexisting site, like
http://www.fakesite.tld/
3. Open that html file in Firefox and click on the link
Actual Results:  
An error page appears with the following text:

Address Not Found Error

www.fakesite.tld could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

(../..)

Try again

The back button on that page is disabled, it's not possible to go back to the
previous page where the link to the fake site was located.

Expected Results:  
The back button should be enabled, and when clicked upon the browser should go
back to the previous correct page.
