User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b11pre) Gecko/20110127 Firefox/4.0b11pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b11pre) Gecko/20110127 Firefox/4.0b11pre

After I clear the history in firefox, the drop arrow in the location bar isn't greyed out but it can't be clicked on because there is no browsing history. for UI consistency, it should be greyed out when history is cleared. 
I'll attach a screenshot.

Reproducible: Always

Same behavior can be observed in Firefox 3.6.13

Changing resolution to Resolved Wontfix

Maybe I ask why wontfix? I never claimed it was a regression from firefox 3.6.13 and it's only a small visual enhancement. :)

Dear reporter,

This is not a core issue that can influence in a bad way how the user interacts with the browser itself. I could have set the resolution to New but I am pretty sure that somebody else would had come around and set it to WONTFIX. 

Still, I appreciate the interest you present in the Firefox browser.

Fair enough and it's very minor anyway so I understand. Thank you :)
