User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008060519 (Gentoo) Minefield/3.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008060519 (Gentoo) Minefield/3.0 After up- or downgrading from/to firefox-3 (rc2) <-> firefox 2.14, the arrow-buttons for jumping back and forward in the history vanish from the navigation toolbar. They can be added manually, but that should not be the normal behaviour. Reproducible: I've tested it three times. Temporary Solution: The buttons can be added manually by clicking "view"->"toolbars"->"customize" I've already reported this to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224969 and I was told that this is a bug for upstream. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Up- or Downgrade from Firefox-2 to Firefox-3 (or vice versa) Actual Results: The Back-Forward buttons vanish. Expected Results: The navigation toolbar does not change. I think I found a way to the source of the problem: === If you "customize" your navigation bar, you see in FF2, that the Back-/Forward-arrows are two seperate items, while in FF3 they are merged to one single button. === Suggested solution: If FF3 detects an old FF2-profile, it should test if the user has those buttons in his/her toolbar. If existend, they should be converted to the new format.

Thomas, this might be a dupe of bug 426026.
In a way, yes, in a way, no. In my case, the part "Doubly annoying because they don't show up in Toolbars>Customize, they get dumped in the (hidden) navigation toolbar." is not true. It's also too late since I've reported this as a bug to mozilla (I didn't find the bug you mentioned before *doh*) ;)
Oops, okay, here's mozilla, not gentoo. Forget all of the comment above: I can't verify the sentence "Doubly annoying because they don't show up in Toolbars>Customize, they get dumped in the (hidden) navigation toolbar." because my Navigation toolbar is not hidden. But in all other symptoms, it's a dupe.
