(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[martinalejandrozudaire]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

When clicking on Full Page and then Print link, the history and navigation data gets erased. Cannot move backwards or forwards. I own an EPSON Stylus C79, never had a problem with drivers before. History and navigation data are set to be erased at the end of the session (when i close firefox).

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
click full page then click Print link.

Expected Results:  
printing came out fine, but history was deleted.

i should have been able to go back if i wanted.

Works fine for me.
Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode?

How about with a new, empty profile?

I can confirm this with Firefox 4.0.1 on Linux. After printing the page (I choosed a PDF writer, hope it does not make a difference), the back/forward buttons really get disabled. However, after changing to other tab and back, the buttons become active and history works. Reporter, can you confirm this workaround?

I could not reproduce it with FF 5.0a2, maybe it is fixed. Reporter, can you try this version?
