On a laptop using XP Pro. SP3. 32bit. Use FireFox 18. I have rebooted Firefox and restarted my laptop many times. This has been a problem since the last FireFox security upgrade. I did notice the back button worked on your support site. Please help me resolve this because it is a real pain in the ass. Thank you.
