Hi,

I have also had this problem now for months and it is very intermittent in that I can click the back button (right click) and I can go back to the 5th or 6th lonk in the history sometimes however very rarely if ever can I go back 1 or 2 or even 3 links back, if I click on them it just does absolutely nothing.

Nothing is grayed out, no error message appears it just doe not work properly and is extremely inconsistent. It seems to have only started since version 3.6 (at least I do not remember this being an issue more than a few months back) and I worked at Netscape Communications Corp until they were taken over by AOL and have been using Mozilla since there was a mozilla to use and never had this issue previously.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

• Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
