User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050608 Firefox/1.0+

If you open a link in a new window and subsequently a link to an image on that
page the back button remains disabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&url=thatonegirl.net
2. Right-click "Recent Posts (Tim Hatch)" and open in new window
3. Click a link to an image.

Actual Results:  
Observe back button is still disabled after clicking the link to an image


Expected Results:  
Since I've had two states in this new window, I should be able to go back one.

I have browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers set to 1.  Workaround is to use the Go
menu, which is across all windows.

It turns out it is caused by the Tidy HTML validator extension.
