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.

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

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’ve had the exact same problems and every forum i read, everybody gives useless info and they’re not solving the problem and even if they do solve the problem its a long complicated process. its very very simple actually and i figured this out myself:

1) uninstall firefox.
2)delete the ‘mozilla’ folder in c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data
3)reinstall firefox

problem solved. its THAT simple

Thanks very much method 2 worked for me to. I usually customize my toolbars so that everything is on the same line as the menu bar maximizing the screen area. I guess the firefox upgrade couldn’t work this out.
