Automatically hides either the back or forward buttons (Or Both!) based on your current navigation of the page.
-If you cannot move back, the back button is removed.
-If you can't move forward, the foreward button is hidden.
-If you are on a new tab or window, BOTH buttons are removed! (and so is the dropmarker button)

* Thanks to SCORPiON and AgentSierra for their Back/Forward hiding styles - Where I got the idea.

Gives you a larger area, and more screenspace for your browser...They only display when required!
Works for both Firefox 3 and Firefox 2.
Why install an extension to do this, when you can do it through CSS!?

Unified Back/Forward buttons that only appear when you need them (nothing to go to). Visually notifies you if you have a page to navigate to by enabling the button!

Works great with the Back Is Close Firefox Extension!

Integrates with Remove the RSS Feed Icon Button from Firefox 3 & 2, and Remove the Home Button, allowing you to remove the RSS Icon, the Bookmark favorite icon, and the Home toolbar Button.

Changelog:
1.0.0.2:
+ Added code to also hide the DropMarker if BOTH the Back and Forward buttons are disabled (new tab)

1.0.0.1:
+ Added Namespace so that the style only applies to the App User Interface.
