(Sorry for top posting, I'm on my phone) Reinstalling will probably make no difference. You could try this command: mv .mozilla/firefox .mozilla/firefox-old This will move your profile so firefox will create a new one. If it works with the new profile there is a problem with your original one. --

Hey, to return to my question -- how do I get Firefox to give me back my buttons? I could uninstall/reinstall from Synaptic and see if that did the trick, but just wondering if anybody knew of a less drastic solution? Sean -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/

Since yesterday's Jaunty update Firefox appears to have lost its history, "refresh" etc. buttons and only has the original domain in the address bar (ie. if I go to http://sitea.com and click on links within the address bar does not change, even if I go to other sites - rather like framed content).
