Why doesn't anything on my address bar work?

For weeks now, my address bar is totally useless! The back/forward buttons are not available - address field remains blank regardless of tabs address (or will not change from previous address visited) - refresh button does not refresh. Sometimes, it helps to close and reopen, sometimes I totally restart my pc to get it to act normal....today it worked for only about 15 minutes after a reboot!

It's called 'Navigation Toolbar', not address bar! Oops!

I have determined that it is after I choose 'printable view' from a website and after printing, the address field is blank, as well as the directional buttons and refresh won't work.
