Comment 2 for bug 499231

AD5XJ:

I just fired up a fresh installation of Kubuntu with Firefox and I cannot reproduce the problem. The steps I took to recreate the problem are listed below.

1 - Installed Firefox
2 - Created bookmarks to the following sites:

www.cnn.com
www.gmail.com
www.yahoo.com
www.msnbc.com
wwww.news.com
wwww.craigslist.org
www.coke.com
www.pepsi.com
www.whitehouse.gov
www.userfriendly.org
www.ubuntu.com
www.kubuntu.org
www.debian.org
www.nytimes.com
www.wsj.com

3 - Pressed CTRL-H to open the HISTORY tab.
4 - Clicked VIEW from the pulldown and selected "BY MOST VISITED"
5 - Began clicking on the sites and using a checklist (so I was sure how many times I clicked on each link) I began to tally what link should appear at the top of the list.
6 - The link clicked the most appeared at the top of the list.

(Please note I purposely mis-spelled Craigslist and occasionally typed the link into the address bar in hopes maybe there was a combination of sites that would cause the problem you describe.)

I did check my history found on my primary machine. I do not like the fact that

https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox

and

https://mail.google.com/mail/?zx=1sbl7njp5y8jp&shva=1#inbox

.. are considered different sites but I am not convinced this is a bug either. I think it just qualifies as poor design.

Is there something I am missing?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better!
