OS X 10.7.3, Firefox 11, After doing everything FAQ area directs me to do still, I cannot access Back and Forward.
The Back and Forward text exists next to the address bar, but I never get access to it, they are always gray. I never see a back or forward icon anywhere. I have tried restart Firefox in safe mode, restore default toolbar and anything else Firefox FAQ pages instructed. How can I navigate?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

cor-el, thank you very much. Deleting "places.sqlite" and "places.sqlite-journal" solved the problem. You are the best!
Something odd occurred after being away from the computer for two days, the back and forward buttons are visible, but no longer work again. I tried the solutions that worked and failed.
