    I hope we can solve your issue. If updating Firefox does not work, you might have to use another browser until Firefox is updated with fixes.

    Problem now totally fixed, thanks guys for your kind help cheers

    It was a cache/cookies problem, see fix below for other members who may have this problem...

    (If you can open Firefox and use the menus) clear the cache: "Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network / Cache (Firefox 2) or Network / Offline Storage (Firefox 3 and above) -> Clear Now" and clear any other private data you don't wish to save such as cookies and download history;

    Those buttons are insertd with Javascript (weirdly) so there could have been a Firefox specific Javascript issue that was crashing hence causing your issue. Its important to check your browsers error console if the issue returns.
