I am running Firefox on CentOS 5.2 (32 bit) (fully updated) and I am not seeing that problem.
Also, I get some kind of strange message....
"Assertion Failed ASSERT:***Search:_installLocation: engine has no file! Stack Trace: 0 ENSURE_WARN(false,_installLocation: engine has no file!.2147500037) 1:()2:()3:()4:90:epsGetAttr([objectObject],hidden)5:906:907:currentEngine() 8:get_currentEngine()9:updateDisplay() 10:init() 11:([object XULElement],0)
Strange messages. I've never seen those.
I realize this is not the proper place for FF related >problems, but
If you got FF from CentOS I think it's OK to begin here.
thought I'd ask if someone else has seen something like this happen. Prior to the last 2 updates, FF appeared to be working properly, and all the forward/back buttons worked.
Can you verify the Firefox Package, to see that it is or is not corrupted?
My Firefox is running just fine, too, Lanny. Seems like I recall the O.P. having problems with cross-pollinated repositories some time ago. A Firefox update history might be helpful:

The only thing I did was exclude the i386 and i686 pkgs some time back, but after seeing this problem, I removed the excludes and let it install both versions i.e., the i386 and X86_64 versions, thinking there might be a library shared between them and by not having both, something broke. So far, no luck.
