Bug Description
Firefox worked fine till yesterday, as of last night (US Arizona time), the forward and back buttons are greyed out, and i cannot go back. I tried to go into toolbars, customize and reset, and that only closes firefox completely, when i reopen, and it asks if i want to go to saved session, and say yes, it opens a blank page. I tried to reinstall firefox and it does not do anything. I use Ubuntu, with latest updates loaded this morning. firefox is version 3.0.5, firefox for unbuntu canonical 1.0 and ubunutu is Ubuntu 8.10
- the Intrepid Ibex - released in October 2008
affects: | firefox (Ubuntu) → firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) |

I have the same problem, except I'm using Ubuntu 8.04. A few days ago Firefox 3.0.5 lost all bookmarks, there's no back, forward reload or stop buttons (all greyed out, and using the alt + arrow keys is also disabled). Today Ubuntu updated Firefox to 3.0.6, but to no avail - nothing has changed. Other errors include disabled "Open links in new window" (opening them in a new tab seems to work, though), and a constant page loading turning wheel symbol in the tabs - but no animated symbol in the main window at all.
