[Bug 276923] Re: "Back"- and "Forward"-buttons broken - Firefox should inform when there is not enough disk space in user directory

[Lappi]

Parthan SR: I updated the description accordingly.

Pedro Villavicencio: Sorry, I can't attempt to reproduce this at the
moment. As a mentioned in the original description, this was related to
8.10, and still seems to be an issue according to Michael Fallows'
report from 2009-02-21.


** Summary changed:

- "Back"- and "Forward"-buttons broken
+ "Back"- and "Forward"-buttons broken - Firefox should inform when there is not enough disk space in user directory

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  The functionality to navigate back and forward through recent browsing
  history using the appropriate buttons in the toolbar seems to be broken
  since the last update (yesterday?) Buttons are greyed out.

+ 
+ apparently this is caused by Firefox not being able to write its
+ browsing history due to limited disk space in the user-directory.
+ Freeing up some space resolves the issue.
+ 
+ I would, however, expect Firefox to give some information about this.
