How do I revert to circular navigation buttons on Firefox 14?

Not more than a week ago my Firefox Back and Next buttons were circular. Now they are square. How do I revert to circular navigation buttons?

Hi,

This may happen if you Use Small Icons in View (Alt + V) > Toolbars > Customize. Also, if you are using a custom theme you can temporarily try the Default theme in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons > Appearance to check.

Using themes

If the problem persists, you can consider the Reset Firefox feature via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information.

(To revert to the previous profile you were using, close the new profile, start Firefox and choose the Default User profile. While the Profile Manager is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers), or the former profile, as the case may be).

I found the problem. I had the navigation buttons in the following order:

  • Back/Forward
  • Home
  • Refresh
  • Stop
  • Separator
  • Address Bar

Since 14, the back/forward buttons have to be directly next to the address bar in order to be circular.
