I was try to build frameset in frameset - similar to used in www.amberda.i85.net
- but in plain examples window.history.go(-1) work OK. But at real pages it
don't work. I dont understand why :(  In Netscape 4.* and MS Explorer 5.* all
work ok in www.amberda.i85.net :(

Hmmm, this is a dupe of several bugs, but the one at the end of the chain is marked
VERIFIED Fixed, so maybe we have a regression on or hands? Bug 37055 is the relevant,
which is eventually a dupe of 18321

It was fixed ? But it exist :( And as i see - it's not my hand. I writing simple
example for duplicating this bug
(http://www.amber-da.com.ua/Mozilla_bugs/history.go). 
This bug live... And very bad, becouse its make impossible to use
window.history.go(-1) and need make construction such write path to return in
external variable and use window.location to return to work around this bug :( 
All javascript code writing before witch use window.history.go dont work in
Mozilla now :( But work in Netscape 4.* and MS explorer... Its a very, very  bad
bug :( Its near major :(

I tried this out in linux and windows today. Things work OK until you press
shift-reload. Resummarising.

cc'ing jag. first of all, I see some problems with the back forward buttons.

1) follow the steps mentioned above . After you have reached the last page (step 
6), click back.
2) you will be taken to the page before it in hte sub-frame. But notice that the 
forward button is not enabled. It should be. If you look at the Go menu, you 
will see that the check mark is on the right entry and you can access the page 
ahead with the go menu. 

I noticed that UpdateBackForwardButtons() in navigator.js never gets called when 
this happens. Not sure if this is to do with the latest changes in Browser's 
WebProgressListener code.
