From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020205 BuildID: 2002020511 One of the very, very, very few things that IE is nicer about than Netscape/Mozilla is how it treats "open in new window" events. When one opens a link in a new window under IE, the new link has the same "back" history as the parent page (i.e. the "back" button will take you to a new copy of the parent). I prefer this behavior to the traditional Netscape way of making all new pages virtual orphans. Not a really big deal, but I hate it when IE does _anything_ better than Mozilla. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.middle click on link to open it in a new window 2.goof around and accidentally close original page 3.try to hit the back button to get back to the original page 4.curse Actual Results: I was mildly annoyed Expected Results: I can't believe I'm saying this, but: emulate the IE behavior in the stead of the traditional (but inferior) Netscape behavior.
