FF 55 - Back button always black

Post by bcbomb47 »

After updating to Firefox 55, my back button is always black like it can be clicked, even though it's a new tab. Any ideas what to do about this?

Thanks,

You can start Firefox in Safe mode to check if your problem is caused by an extension or theme (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode

If starting in Safe-mode works then disable your extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or use the option in the Safe-mode window) and re-enable them one by one until you find which one is causing it.
Close and restart Firefox after each change.

Same thing when I open in safe mode. I was already using the default theme. Thanks for helping me troubleshoot this.

Moving to Firefox Builds as version 55 is still pre-release.

I have this issue as well, though specifically the black versus grayed out states are backwards (but not always). For grayed out tabs that have history, I have to right click the Back button to select the prior address. Some tabs are correct though, at least at first; I'm not sure when they 'break' yet.

I put in a bug report for this so hopefully they at least know it's an issue. Thanks.
