Hi, I recently updated one of my add-ons (I believe it was Adobe Flash) and now my address bar history won't work. My history is being recorded, but I can't jump back to previously visited pages via the address bar.

This only happened yesterday, if anybody can offer a solution, well thanks.

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks

See Smart Location Bar
