[Bug 936684] [NEW] Opening new tab causes history to dissapear

[Scott Cove]

Public bug reported:

Using FF10.0.2.  Upon opening firefox, all my previous tabs open and i
have access to history and back buttons (curiously i have no, and cannot
add a forward button to the toolbar) even from previous sessions.  I can
browse through all open tabs and navigate normally with back buttons and
rightclick > back.  I also have access to the history from menus.

As soon as I open a new tab however, the back button on all other tabs
including the one that i just opened is greyed out as is the back in the
context menu and also the history appears to be blank.  If I close
Firefox and re-open however, all is well again until a new tab is
opened.
