I appears that Mozilla stores only 50 navigation entries (i.e. the page you're on and the previous 49 links). Thus if you go through the entire series of pictures (68 total pages) on the example link provided, you'll only be able to click Back 49 times before it greys out and doesn't let you go back any further. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open link http://spork.no-ip.com/~uef/gallery/fau_utility_tunnels/aaa and keep clicking Next Photo until #68 is reached. 2. Click the Back button 49 times and watch it turn grey Actual Results: Back button turns grey after 49 clicks and doesn't let you go any further back. Expected Results: I should be able to go back to the beginning through the entire string of links. It stores all my history for todays usage anyway, so why should there be a limit? If there has to be a limit, it should be something overkill like 256 or 512 links. No themes applied, latest build (2005013106)

50 is the default value. If you want more, change the pref mentioned in the other bug report with about:config. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 197466 ***

Sorry, you can't change the pref with about:config, you have to edit the default prefs, see bug 197466 comment 10.
Sorry about the dupe. I did actually search for this, but I missed it. Thanks for the resolution! I have updated my \Program Files\Mozilla.org\Mozilla\defaults\pref\browser-prefs.js file for Mozilla and my \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\firefox.js file for Firefox. Mozilla.org ROCKS!!!! Feature Request: Could this be made a setting in the Options... section?
