Weird FF prob

[undyingking]

Since my last Firefox update (to 3.0.12) my browser history hasn't been working. The History display is completely empty, and when I navigate away from a page, the Back button doesn't work. I checked the Options to see if it had magically turned itself off, but no, the "Keep my history" box is still ticked.

Anyone else seeing / seen this?

I am running 3.0.12 on Windows Vista and do not see this problem.

Hmm, it might be one of the extensions then. Bah! Well, it's not a major inconvenience.

Have you engaged porn^H^H^H^H privacy mode (you know for buying Christmas presents and things) somehow?

Well, I do buy a lot of Christmas presents, it's true -- generous soul that I am. But as I'm the only person who uses this PC, I've never felt the need to engage such mode. It looks like it may have done so itself, perhaps in a well-meaning attempt to spare awkwardness.

I have 3.5 just installed over Windows XP and it runs fine, but it does have the "private" feature now that you have to engage and disengage -- it says it turns off (i.e. history turns back on) when you restart.

Ah, that must have been it: it has fixed itself after restart.
