After using firefox for a while and using the back and forward button a lot, the back and forward buttons become unresponsive and I have to restart Firefox.  If I click on the recent pages arrow next to the back button, there is a small box with no websites under it to click on.

2. Use forward and back buttons a lot.
Actual Results:  
Back/forward buttons become unresponsive.

Expected Results:  
The back/forward buttons should continue to work like usual

Have this same problem using Windows Vista. After visiting alot of pages back and forward buttons are no longer clickable and the buttons are grayed out. Restarting Firefox fixes the problem. Have HTML Validator, Firebug, and Adblock plus addons installed.
