on a couple of my machines the firefox icons in the upper left of the UI (for Back/Forward) have disappeared. All i get are skinny widgets with the drop-down arrow--no left/right icons in the widgets.
any idea what would cause this? i'll try yum remove/install firefox and report back if i see no replies...
Thanks, SW

Right click on the toolbar, and make sure "Navigation Toolbar" is on.

Are you using the default theme?

Yes it's on.
Appears user based. If I run X as root and launch firefox the icons are there.
Remove/Reinstall makes no difference, neither does switchdesk back and forth between kde and gnome.
My home directory is off NFS so I'll play with that tomorrow, also will try making a local user account and see what happens.

Yes it's the default. I tried installing another one through the mozilla https: link in the UI and it pops up momemtarily then disappears from the theme list. Only the default theme is there.

Just for grins, what happens if you move your ~/.mozilla directory to ~/.mozilla.old and then start Firefox? Is everything back to normal?

Dear Skunk Worx,
I've discovered that the file compreg.dat in the user profile directory is the culprit. You can safely delete this file to get your icons back with no apparent ill effects on your profile.
