This failed to remove firefox-3.0 and I was told that firefox-2 was not available, however when I fired up the Firefox 3 that was not removed the forward and backward buttons were working as well as the home function. Perhaps doing the rm -r ~/.mozilla cleared out some old setup files that was causing the problem????
Problem fixed????
I have been trying to downgrade to a version of Firefox that worked and tried the following:
sudo apt-get purge firefox-3.0
rm -r ~/.mozilla/firefox
sudo apt-get install firefox-2
