User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Whenever I go to certain pages that has popups, after the "Firefox has prevented
this page from opening a popup.." message is displayed, The back/previous page
button doesn't work. (well I can press it, but it does nothing. I also try to
use the back button on my mouse, and it doesn't do anything either.) 
If I choose "Don't show this message when popups are blocked", and I go to the
same page, the back button works fine.
I'd like this message to be shown, easier to notice, so I don't like to disable it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the page.

Actual Results:  
Back button didn't function

Expected Results:  
Back button should've functioned.

I don't even get a popup warning for that page. Does this still occur when you
start Firefox in safe mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Yep, I still get the popup warning. Maybe you don't the popup 'cause they are
only for Israeli IPs, I'm not sure. but anyway whenever I get it the back button
won't function.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
