My Mozilla browser has lost the back and forward functions and there is no address in the http address field. Never seen this problem before.
I turned off the plug ins for AVG and Java but its not helped. Any one experienced this before? or got a solution?
Cheers,
Phil

Phil,
Are you running Firefox 3.6.17 4.0.0 or 4.0.1 ?
I was having so many problems with the add-ons on V4 (not working, or needing to re-install evey time i turned it on), that i went back to V3.6.17 (the last of V3) and havent had any problems.
That said, I haven't tried the 4.0.1 - maybe it fixed the problems?

View > Toolbars > Navigation Bar
You may need to hit the Alt key if File Edit View etc. aren't visible

My solution was slightly more drastic. Moved to Chrome
Much better experience all round.

I went there and then went back as I wanted a browser rather than a 'lifestyle' hence the reason I don't buy Mac.
I am running 3.6.8 Bizzarly my functionality has come back! Probably not long before it goes again. It happened whilst I was on a flash heavy sight so maybe that is to be avoided.
Saska, the navigation bar is there it just didn't work, even the menu stopped working (greyed out)
Thanks for your help Mr P
