When using the alt+left (page back) or alt+right (page forward) key combo
nothing happens.  Reinstalled just to make sure nothing was missing/left out, no
luck. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
using the key combos, alt+left or alt+right

Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
go back a page or forward a page

I listed it as a major issue.  For many it may not be but I do use it daily and
live off of it.

Fixed the problem as follows: (found via another site)

When I installed v1.0.2 I was in a theme other than the default.  I switched
back to the default, it still did not work.  I switched back to my original
theme and it now works on all themes I have installed.

WFM in most recent milestone, with a non-default theme.


I am not sure what the problem is, but it isn't a Firefox bug, AFAIK.  Who is
the author of the theme you are having problems with?  If you check their site
for release notes on that theme version, it may be a known and reported problem
that the theme breaks this behavior, and you may very well need to wait until
the next version of the theme is released for a fix to happen.

this is wfm with a current nightly build with the default theme.
Please only reopen if you see this with the default theme and without extensions
