- start N6.1b1 (20010607)
- open preferences
- activate the option "Last page visited", so the browser will start 
with the last visited site
- open a URL containing ad banners from a seperate ad server
   www.aol.de
   www.area-dvd.de
   www.netscape.com
   www.t-online.de
- close browser
- restart browser

***Result:

Also seeing this with 2001062704 / NT 4.0 SP6a.

All the pages in question use an <iframe> for the ads section.  The document in
the iframe is actually the "last page visited" and gets loaded in the new
window, just like the preference is set.  This is confusing to the user.

When we open a new window we should probably not actually open the "last page
visited" but open the last *top frame* visited.

interesting...this works for me using 2001.06.27.10-branch comm bits on winNT...

in any case, methinks this should go over to history: global. alecf/claudius, do
you think this might be a dup of bug 58613, or something else?

[Alec Flett]

yep, this is mine, but it's actually a dupe of last page visited being broken
for framed pages too...
