Could you please try to reproduce the same issue using a new firefox profile?

Start Firefox by entering the following command in a terminal: firefox -ProfileManager. You should now see the Profile Manager window.

Important note: From the Profile Manager you are also able to remove and rename profiles. Be very careful when deleting profiles, if you created the profile in a directory that already existed, the entire directory will be removed!

Click on the 'Create Profile...' button to start the 'Create Profile Wizard'. Click 'Next' and enter a descriptive name for the new profile. Click Finish to have Firefox create the new profile. You should now be taken back to the Profile Manager and the newly created profile should be listed. Select it and click 'Start Firefox'. Try to reproduce the bug with this new profile.

Note: you can go back to your own profile by starting Firefox using the command firefox -ProfileManager again, selecting your own profile, and clicking on 'Start Firefox'.

Hello!

I tried to do as you asked, and the issue is still there after creating and using a new profile...

i should add something to the report and it is that if i puch the back buttom more then one time it first pushes me forward one time and after a few seconds one more time, and so on, until iam back from where i started to go back, if you get what i mean:)

Unfortunately, we still can not reproduce this issue. Can you answer a few questions to help us?

* Does this happen with a clean profile with no plugins or extensions?
* Does this happen in a window and full screen mode?
* Are you using any shortcut addon applications in Ubuntu?
* Does changing themes change the behavior of this in firefox? Could you try several different themes, please.

Thanks for helping improve Ubuntu.
