Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Neil Whiteley-Bolton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Setting: always show tab bar.
When Firefox starts, the back and forward buttons are disabled, irrespective of
the number of URLs traversed. Opening a second tab provides access - including
the navigation history of the first tab. Closing the second tab does NOT disable
the buttons again.

Reproducible: Always

Can you reproduce this in a newer build, for possibly you are talking about Bug
306243 which is resolved.

WORKSFORME is a better resolution since we don't know the exact patch that fixed
this.
