go forward navigation button not working from youtube homepage
I have FF 14.0.1
(Note this issue is present only with Youtube homepage;;and only when navigating forward from its homepage.
The Go Forward button works fine on all other websites.)
Here is what happens:
I open Youtube homepage and click on a video and watch it.
I go back to the homepage again using the Go Back button
I cannot go forward to the video I just watched because the Go Forward button does not appear (as it is supposed to and as it usually does for me)..
Right clicking and using the Go Forward to This Page, does not load the forward page. Instead it just reloads Youtube homepage.
My system Windows 7, Home Premium, SP1.

First, try to reset Firefox. Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings. This simple step will eliminate many Firefox problems with only one click.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this: Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

Thank you. I will try the Rest and see. (Dell Drivers Downloads page shows that I have an update available for my Nvidia driver; it is a mega file and I have to download and do it when I have more time.)
But since my Firefox Go Forward button works with all other websites (and it works even on Youtube pages, once I am away from their homepage), I am not sure that the problem is with some malware.
As noted in the System Details (on the side panel to my post), I have MacAfee and it actually catches things.
Please note also from the System Details, I have the latest flash, etc.
And Windows updates,are up to date.
=====================================================
But this is not the worst problem I have with FF. My post that I still cannot find had to do with:
Scrolling distorting flash player window (Youtube, hulu, etc.)
I have had this problem since FF 13.0.1 update in June. I posted the issue under "badly scrambled images".
The advise from a regular contributor was to turn off hardware acceleration, precisely the opposite of your suggestion here.:(
I have added here the screen shots of this issue.
This distortion happens even with just starting the browser (so no bloated cache) and and even with just only one or two tabs open.
And I have also detected since, that sometimes switching to the the tab with flash will "imprint" the image from the my previous tab on to the flash player.
FYI, none of these flash player problems occur with IE9.
(I will re-post the issue again under a new thread. But I am tired of the solutions telling me to disable all the plugins etc. This solution does not solve the problem for me.)
Thanks.
Don't report the problem, I'll try to help you here :)
go ahead and try the Reset and graphics driver update, and let me know if you are still having problems
Oops, I just posted a thread on my flash content issue under:
flash content distorts when scrolling and switching tabs.. since FF 13.0.1.
(It was easy to cut and paste my description of the problem from here than having to type it all over again. I can cancel it though, I think.)
Yes, I will report back here after I try resetting and installing the driver update. Perhaps tomorrow.
Thanks.
