273735 - Location bar incorrect after clicking Back when another window was opened

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

After going to a bunch of pages, I entered a URL (www.nintendo.com) in the
location bar and pressed Enter.  I clicked a link on that page which opened a
new window.  The new window had Macromedia Flash plugin content.  I went back to
the original window, and clicked Back.  It went to the previous page, but the
location bar remained unchanged - it was still saying I was at the address of
the page I typed in.  Continuously clicking Back caused it to keep going back,
but the location bar remained unchanged until I quit Firefox.

Can u give the exact link which you clicked?. The link which I tried doesn't
open a new window.

From www.nintendo.com, I clicked the link to the Nintendo DS website.  Their
site changed since I got the bug to occur, but now I can open the new window by
clicking "02 NintendoDS.com" on the left side of the page, then clicking on the
animation that appears above it once the animation is finished.

But like I noted, I tried it again and couldn't reproduce the bug.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
