The navigation buttons simply will not highlight. If I right click I can see my history but the actual back button does not work. If the mouse is passed over it does not respond and to click on it nothing happens.

This can be caused by a locked or damage file, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player Plug-In 10.1.102.64. This was suggested by another member to remedy slow page uploading, (which wasn't a problem for me,) but it also worked to correct the non-functioning back button problem on my PC. I left Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X installed. Back button works again.

Hope that helps.
