tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail

uninstalled again loaded older version (worked)(but then crashed)

updated to newest version gone again


ggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

if i right click list of previous windows come up

but would like to have back arrow functioning properly again

thx in advance

If you left click on other items in that toolbar, do they all work fine?
The forward button?

How about using ALT-leftArrow ? Does that work?

nope nothing only one that works is the home button

alt L arrow nothing

sounds like a site problem,a quick google pointed at this. i have used
firefox for years and have seen that sometimes u have to hit back
several times quickly to get it to work.

thx

hhhmmmmmmmmmmmm

i guess i will have to use the backspace button for now

hhhhmmmmmmmmmmm

it does not give me the address of the site i am at

on the nav bar neither

Adj, have you noticed whether this happens always at particular sites,
and never at other sites? The 'back' button problem, as was posted
above, might be due to the code on the site you visit.

Also, maybe this has something to do with a buggy 'extension'?

Maybe wrong but it maybe an idea. I would wait for Massages opinion on
it first before going ahead and doing it.

But what about a deleting it completely. And then using a registry
cleaner just to get rid of it and to make sure it is not running in the
background and then restarting your computer, re-download it and restart
your computer one more time?

does it all the time

deleted it reinstalled

redeleted reinstalled older version

older version worked

older version crashed

uninstalled again

installed most resent version

back button not working

address of existing page does not appear in
address bar

Deleteing a program does not delete ALL the program. It still in the
back ground. Maybe in the back ground as an un used file but but for the
most part it is still there.

saying good by to firefox

made a new user account on comp and now it is working

weird really weird

but not on original acct

Okay, if you really want it to work in your original acct, I would google some instructions on 'completely wiping all traces of firefox' and do the 'delete and reinstall process' all over again.

The fact that its working in a second account suggests to me that the reason 'delete-and-reinstall' didn't work in the original acct is that there is -some- kind of setting, or file, or something left over from the previous version, not successfully wiped during the delete, which the newly installed version just inherited.

It remains unclear to me whether this problem might have been related somehow to an extension / add on.

>> which the newly installed version just inherited.

And which, of course, is absent in the new account.

well i talked to a friend of mine that

is an it guy at a local college

he asked if there was a power fluctuation

(yes lost power)

his opinion in the power lose firefox became corrupted

(and yes as your theory) corrupted copy infiltrates

new reinstalls

don't understand why restore did not work but oh well

new acct is fine

thankz for the help

Firefox sucks.

Really.

But there's no other good browser on the Windows platform.

Thank god for safari.

Did you try the software repair wizzard?
It takes you back in time to when it worked properly.
