Cheers guys!! These steps fixed it for me: - Locate the places.sqlite-journal file in: $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/[NAME OF PROFILE]/ - Ensure that the file is owned by root with "ls -l" - In the folder, run: "sudo chown [USERNAME] ./places.sqlite-journal"
Then restart firefox and load a page. The buttons should be back and the URL should go blank when the "new tab" button is pressed. And normality is restored. Hope this helps, the Watho ** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox I few days ago I was browsing, and suddenly the navigation buttons were - greyed out.
