Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 99091

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[philrate]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5

Firefox's broswer history is unable to distinguish between two page which have
URLs that differ only by the text capitalization.

For example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Graphics (note the uppercase G)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics (note the lowercase g)

These are actually two completely different web pages, despite the similarity of
the URL.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.yahoo.com (not related to the bug)
2. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Graphics (note the uppercase "G")
3. Click the link: "For the field of study, see Computer graphics." (note the
lowercase "g")
4. Press Back
5. Press Forward
Actual Results:  
Firefox displays www.yahoo.com after pressing back.

Then, after pressing forward it takes you right back to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics (note the lowercase g)

Expected Results:  
Firefox should display http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Graphics when
pressing back. (note the uppercase "G")
