I did a clean install of Fedora 11 (32bit version) on my laptop.
After the install, I copied back my home directory from my previous
Fedora 10 install. In other words, when I first ran Firefox 3.5b4,
it used the configuration files from the previous version of firefox.
One of the problems that I am having with Firefox is that the Forward
and Back buttons are disabled as well as their menu equivalents.
Running "firefox -safemode" from a command line still has the same
inability to go forward or backwards plus no error messages occurred
in the terminal window where Firefox was started.
Is this a bug in Firefox or is there configuration change necessary?
What happens if you move the .mozilla directory in your home directory
to .mozilla.bak and restart firefox (i.e. let it create a new home
directory for itself)?
It seems unlikely this is a bug in FF as I don't see this behavior in
F11, though I am on x86_64.
I did some playing around with Firefox since I posted the first message
of this thread. By process of elimination, I disabled the plug-ins that
I was using until I found the one that was causing my forward/back
disable problem.
The plug-in that was the problem was "Print Hint" version 0.33. Once
this plug-in was disabled, Firefox worked as expected.
Removing this plug-in also fixed my other Firefox problem. When I
clicked on a URL in Thunderbird, Firefox was opening an new window/tab
but with nothing in it, including no location. If I cut and pasted the
same URL to Firefox, it displayed the page correctly. Once the Print
Hint plug-in was disabled, this feature worked as expected.
