Back does not decrement the accessible value, although the browser back arrow ghosts correctly. The url given is one of two test pages that demonstrates this. Please let me know if you cannot differentiate between the two. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.In magpol.org for good reason in a new window I put : if(history.length==0)window.close();history.back(); 2. 3. Actual Results: Mozilla will never close the new window. IE works correctly. Expected Results: measured history.length correctly

new Windows -> history.length=1 - sounds logical to me...

---> History:Session

I've links like this one: <a href=".">Back</a> and I use JS to add onclick="history.back()". If one opens page to new window/tab I cannot use history.length==0 to force onclick assigment. I'm using this code to fix this behaviour: len = history.length; if (navigator.product == 'Gecko') len--; If this would be fixed we will need code to distinguish between old and new behaviour. Perhaps: if (navigator.product == 'Gecko' && len!=0)

So what exactly is the bug here? Can someone attach a testcase showing the problem?
