Can you go forward in IE?

This sounds to me like more of a problem with your vaio's touchpad software 
than anything else. The Back button gesture in the touchpad software is 
usually written just to work with IE.

Also, this looks like a duplicate of bug 211669.

Please read duplicate bug 36877.

Can someone close this bug as a duplicate? I can't because I don't have the 
privledges yet :(.

But it shouldn’t be a problem.  If IE can recognize the command and function 
based on that, then so should mozilla.  Hence the universal compatibility.

Can you try using the latest version of firebird and see if that fixes the problem.

Also, have you had a look at bug 36877? I won't mark this bug as a duplicate yet
as they do differ slightly.

BTW - Got my privledges - lol :D
