Trouble:
For a change today I am going to share one of the problem which I have been facing for last 2-3 days. This issue started appearing after installing just released as Firefox 3.0 RC 1. I have been facing firefox navigation buttons problem.
Whenever I start Firefox both backward and forward button are not visible
( as shown in the image below )
Let see how can we fix this firefox trouble.
Fix:
There are two simple methods which you can try.
Method 1:
1. Open Firefox normally.
2. Go to View >> Toolbars >> Customize
3. To restore your forward and back button then click the “Restore default set” button on the newly opened window.
But the above solution could be temporary. If you face this problem again in future, then go for the Method 2.
Method 2:
Note: The localstore.rdf file your firefox profile is corrupted. You need to remove the corrupt localstore.rdf file so that Firefox can generate a new copy. Any toolbar customizations will be gone when you next restart Firefox but future changes will be retained. Before continuing, you may wish to save a screen capture (print screen) which may help in restoring your toolbar customizations.
Follow the procedure listed below:
Automatic Method
1. Exit Firefox and Start Firefox in Safe Mode from start menu (as shown in the image below).
NOTE: This does not mean that you start windows in safe mode. Only firfox is started in safe mode.
2. Select the check box which says Reset toolbars and controls ( as shown in the image below )
3. That’s it, Done! Start Firefox again.
Manual Method:
1. Exit Firefox completely
2. Open C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows login/user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
3. Delete localstore.rdf
(assuming C: drive is where windows is installed )
Note: Do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder
4. Start Firefox again.
We hope this will help you fix the trouble.

Thanks mate. Method 1 solved the glitch for me just fine ;] Nice to know I’m not the only one who thought the missing arrows was strange.

I have the exact same problem as Dan mentions in the comment. I’ve done everything all the online forums are saying (create new profile, uninstall, reinstall, everything one can think of) and still its nor working. I’m so frustrated that I’m thinking of switching to some other browser
Method 1 worked for me. Thank you so much.
Good day!
My problem is the same with Gary. The Navigation tool bars are not missing, but they appear to be greyed out and disabled. Even when I right click on the screen, the options – Back, Forward, Reload and Stop are not greyed-out too.
Is there any possible way of fixing this that would not require reinstalling of firefox? I hope someone here could help us.
Thanks.
Method 1 above …. Restore Default Set …. brought back my greyed out Back button. Great and simple fix – thanks
THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!! ARRGGHH STUPID FIREFOX “UPGRADE”
Thanks. Got my back and forward button back
Method #1 worked for me. If it fails again I will try Method #2.
