On a laptop using XP Pro. SP3. 32bit. Use FireFox 18. I have rebooted Firefox and restarted my laptop many times. This has been a problem since the last FireFox security upgrade. I did notice the back button worked on your support site. Please help me resolve this because it is a real pain in the ass. Thank you.

hi biff441,
could you try the Reset Firefox feature and report back to us?
It will restore Firefox to its initial state while saving your:

  • Bookmarks

Yes, this solved my issue of my back button not working. After resetting Fire Fox, my back button now works. If anyone has the same issue, please follow the instructions given.
