I have firefox 3.6 installed and have been using it for years. All the sudden last week the back button wouldn't work till I go to the second web address change. For example if I start at forums.sagetv.com and select a post I can't hit the back button till I select another article. I have uninstalled firefox deleted all the directories, rebooted and reinstalled the problem still comes back.

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.

I started having this EXACT same issue a few day ago. I found out that it was the McAfee site advisor causing the problem. Click the Tools drop-down and select add-ons. In the add-ons window, click the Extensions panel. Select McAfee and disable it.

Hope this helps, Arielle!

I did turn off McAfee and the problem went away. Strange I used Site Advisor for a long time and never had any trouble. Thank You for pointing me in the right direction.
