Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Tried the safe mode start up, reset to default and yet the back/forward arrows still don't work. What now?
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
