42723 - location.replace() does not work

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect, P3)

Description

[Jerry Baker]

location.replace() is supposed to redirect without leaving the page in the 
session history. This does not work on Mozilla. The page containing the 
location.replace still exists in the browser history after the replace has taken 
place.

Further testing shows that pages that use document.location = "http://foo.bar/" 
*do not* get put into the session history. It's like someone prgrammed the two 
functions backwards.

Browser, not JS Engine. Not sure if this is for History,
so sending to Browser-General for disposition -
