Closed Bug 369356 Opened 19 years ago Closed 16 years ago

Until recently, when I would click on any headline there, and a page would come up, I could easily return to http://legitgov.org/ just by clicking the back-arrow, but now the back-arrow is gray and there is no longer any means of returning.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://legitgov.org/ 2. Click on any headline there. 3. After the page comes up, try to return to http://legitgov.org/ and you can't. Actual Results: Cannot return to http://legitgov.org/ Expected Results: Return to http://legitgov.org/ just by clicking the back-arrow.
This problem did not exist before, but is so serious that it jeopardizes the usefulness of Firefox.
Reporter, headlines will open in a different tab. That's why the back button doesn't work. You'll need to switch back to the old tab (clicking on the tab, or with ctrl-tab), or close the new one.
This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates.

If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here.
