This must be a dup, but I couldn't find one.

Apprunner, defaull start page. Click on the link that says 'This goes to test2'
etc. test2.html loads. Now hit the back button. This puts a file URL to
contentframe.html into the URL bar, but the page does not change.

Re-assigned to radha@netscape.com, set target milestone to M4, changed component
to XPApps, priority to P1, and platform and OS to All.

Ugh, this is bad ...

Let me take a look at this on 4/8/99
Do you have the sidebar on when you do this? Matt said that 'Back' was a problem
when sidebar was on, since the url page is a Frame when sidebar is up & Frame
history doesn't quite work.
I'm pretty sure I was seeing it both when the sidebar was there, and when it
was not. You can get into this latter state by clicking on the 'Home' toolbar
button.
This is broken because window.back() is broken with frames.
QA should have a tescase for this to check it out.
Back and Forward work fine once you are off the initial start
up page.
Start browser
hit home - goto netscape page
hit back - goto initial startup page
hit forward - goto netscape page

Just the first page testcase and when you
use the sidebar and then use back and forward does it
not work.  I have a fix for all of this.  See bug
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4644

Note:  Can QA follow up on window.back() in frames and see
if it is working?

Actually it _was_ the same bug, believe it or not. :-)  Anyway, it's fixed in
last night's build.

Win32 install.  sujay, how's Linux look for this?

Back/Forward buttons don't work for me either on 4/9 Linux apprunner builds.
looks fine for me on 040915 builds on Linux. Start-up, click on link go back go
forward go back go forward, you get the picture.
You might be seeing this bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4835
This is an apprunner bug and we make the problem only slightly worse.
Pretty much frame history is horked along with all sorts of other frame
problems.
i meant to say it is a viewer bug

My checkin for this bug on 4/7/99 to navigator.xul was removed by Matt's later
checkin to this file. I have re-checked in the file on 4/9/around 5:30 pm.
Please verify today. Thanks.

Sorry, My previous comments were suppose to be for another bug. Matt is
responsible for this, after the sidebar changes. I'm reassigning this to him.

This is broken on (at least) Linux and Win32 using the 1999101408 build. I'm
reopening this ancient bug to cut down on the total number of bugs; the
description of this old bug isn't quite right. Currently, if you press Back or
Forward, nothing at all happens (ie the Location: control is not updated).
