Please run Firefox in Safe Mode (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode) and check again. Does it solve the problem?

When we switched to Mozilla safe mode:

(1) It did Not solve the problem;
(2) And...the workaround (previously described to you) doesn't "work" in Mozilla safe mode.

In other words, Navigation can (no longer, while in Mozilla Safe Mode) be restored by:
(1) Selecting Print Preview
(2) Closing Print Preview pane w/o printing
(3) <Back> and <Forward> widgets (+ Menu "Back" selection) then function OK

Can you please give Firefox 3.6 beta 5 a try? Is it still present in that version?
