Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 18808

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[tadhg76]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803

When I open a new navigation window with mozilla it reloads onto my homepage and
loses all the previous pages I have viewed for the back button. This means that
if i need to keep one page open for some reason or another and open a previously
viewed page (to copy a password or something like that) I cannot because the
back button has lost all the previously viewed pages and the new page has opened
my homepage and not a copy of the original page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a web page
2.click file, new, navigator window
3.try going back to look at previously viewed pages on the newly opened page

Actual Results:  
cannot go back

Expected Results:  
should be able to go back to old pages to retrieve info and should open on the
page you a currently viewing, not your homepage
