forward and back buttons all go to the same site in history

[locketine]

Binary package hint: firefox

Release: ubuntu 7.10 (x64)
Package: firefox-bin (x64)
Version: 2.0.0.12+2nobinonly+2-0ubuntu0.7.10

Sometimes while using firefox I will click the back button and then click the forward button quickly(half second) and then both buttons stop working. They simply refresh the currently displayed page but act as if they have my full history in the open tab (ie I can click back 3 times if I've visited three pages). This frequently happens on iGoogle which is my homepage.

Sorry but Firefox-2 is getting near EOS and they wont be fixing anything but major issues security issues mainly. Please try to reproduce this with Firefox-3.0 if you can reproduce this bug please click on Help > Report a problem and file the bug that way. This does not mean that it wasn't already fixed.
