No, it doesn't solve the problem.

back/forward are not part of history

[Lars A. Frøyland]

I also have problems with forward/back in Firefox 3.6.8:
Sometimes forward replaces the next entry in the tab history with the current, so that the current entry is duplicated, and forwarding once more will proceed to the entry after the replaced one.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.8 on Windows XP.
