78091 - No browser history (back button unavailable) until new window is opened.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Ken Snider]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; rv:0.8.1+)
Gecko/20010428
BuildID:    2001042814

When Mozilla first launches, any subsequent pages opened in the initial window
do not get added to the browser history. Subsequently, there is no way to go
"back". Opening a new browser window alleviates the problem for all subsequent
windows except the initial one.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Mozilla
2. Surf to a website (used a frameless site to verify this is not a frames issue)
3. Surf to a link on the site.
4. Attempt to go back to the first page

Actual Results:  No history, no way "back".

Expected Results:  The first page should have been in the browser history, so
you could return to it.

Ken, could you try an even more recent build? There were several checkins
recently which were supposed to fixed back/forward buttons not working in some
cases.

Yesterday.
