Bug Description

I have reported this issue previously to Firefox Help but no response over a month to two now.
My Issue is my firefox works ok in one account but not the other, with the following problems :-
1 . Cannot used the forward or Back Arrows
2. Cannot Make any Bookmarks in the browser.

What i have done thus far :-
Uninstalled Firefox several times and reinstalled it - No improvement
However i can use Firefox in other login accounts.
Installed Flash-Aid

Thinking back this seem to take place at the updating of Firefox 8.0 and i have not been able to resolve the issue

The only other thing that i can remember doing was carrying out a clean-up on my system using Bleachbit (root)

Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10
version of the package - Unknown

I expected to be able to travel forward or back in my tabs of web pages as normal
I expect to be able to bookmark web pages and seem them when i return to the bookmarks

Instead i am unable to do any of these things. namly uning my prime ubuntu account
Thank you

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
