Description Carolina Feher 2004-06-16 18:04:50 UTC

Sometimes when I go from one page to another the back button is disabled but won't take me back to the previous page. Sometimes the back button is enabled but the menu that is displayed when that arrow beside the back button is pressed is empty.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to some page.
2. Follow a link.

Actual Results:  
Can't go back to the previous page by pressing "back".

I deleted my ~/.mozilla and ~/.phoenix directories and Firefox seems to be working well now.

Good, because I didn't have a clue what to suggest to you. ;-)  Glad to hear it's working out now.
