Hi I had the same problem (running 1.5.0#2ubuntu6:), and by accident found the reason
* I started firefox from eclipse running as root and shut my system down without exiting the browser * the problem happens, whenever you start firefox as user - not root * to fix the problem start firefox as root (e.g. sudo firefox) and exit firefox normally * afterwards everything runs ok again to reproduce the problem, open a terminal and sudo firefox ctrl c (kills firefox) firefox ----> no you lost everything and the page back button will not be activated. exit firefox sudo firefox ----> everything is ok again is that your problem also? -- history, bookmarks, passwords, start page all lost. address bar, menus no longer function https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
