Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[MountainAsh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When loading a page that uses JavaScript (innerHTML or createElement('iframe'))
to dynamically add an iFrame to the page the next/forward and back buttons and
keyboard shortcuts do not work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit any site - to add to your history
2. load the attached page
3. try the browser back button (or load a bookmark, go back and then try going
forward)

Actual Results:  
The page loads correctly as intended (without errors) but the browser navigation
controls do not work. This works correctly in IE.

Expected Results:  
Expect the history/navigation buttons to work as normal.

Colleges have told me that this bug also occurs on Windows and Mozilla.

Attachment: Basic HTML with javascript to show the problem.

View the source, there are 2 functions using different methods, both cause the
failure

WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007082004 Minefield/3.0a8pre, as well.

Reporter, if you cannot reproduce this with a current Firefox 2 or 3 build, please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

Thanks; it's “WORKSFORME” and not “FIXED”, because we don't know exactly what it was fixed by.
