History.fireCurrentHistoryState() invokes your history handlers without actually inserting new history item in browser history stack, while History.newItem(token) does insert new history token into history stack.

Note: if your current token is the same as new token (i.e. same page is reloaded), then browsers do not insert this into history stack. In this case (current token == new token) History.fireCurrentHistoryState() has the same effect as History.newItem(currentToken).
