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

Sorry, would be very difficult to explain, see Steps to Reproduce. Perheps it
better fits in OS Integration or Toolbars, but I wasn't sure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a local HTML file with a link in it. (you can copy from here: <a
href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a>)
2. Start Firefox. (Firefox must be running, but even a Downloads or Bookmark
Manager window will do)
3. Open the file by double-clicking it in Explorer/Total Commander. (Firefox
must be set as your default browser.)
4. A second Firefox window is opened with the previously created file. Click on
the link.
Actual Results:  
There is no possibility to go back, the back button is grayed out.

Expected Results:  
There is a possibility to go back, the back button isn't grayed out. :-)

For clarification: if you double-click the file in Explorer while Firefox is NOT
running, this bug cannot be observed.

Can you reproduce this in safe mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

No I can't, so the problem is with one of the themes or extensions. Next time
I'll check the bug in safe mode, too.

Should it be marked resolved then?
