From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.3.99-pre9 i686; en-US; m16) Gecko/20000522
BuildID:    2000052208

When browsing local URLs (e.g. 'file:///file/blah.jpg'), and you load a file
(for example, view a JPEG image using Mozilla), the 'back' button stops working.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a local URL which is a directory (e.g. 'file:///home/me/')
2. Double-click on a file which Mozilla can render internally (e.g. an HTML
page, or an image file), or a directory.
3. Hit the 'back' button.

Actual Results:  The browser did not display the previous directory listing, it
just stayed on the file/directory I loaded.

Expected Results:  Returned to the last item in the history stack.

This was tested on Debian GNU/Linux - I don't know if it also effects Win32.
This works for me on Win32 build 2000052408.
Looks like bug #40063
I am using Mozilla 2000060409 right now and I am encountering this same
problem.  Switching to new.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Problem still exists in 2000080108 linux.
This is most likely a dup of 40063, with a slightly diffrent menifistation.
Marking as such.
