Back button doesn't work on many sites

As I start Firefox, using yahoo.com as my homepage, upon going from the homepage to any link on the page, the back button becomes inoperable

Back button behaviour can be pretty wierd. I usually use the keyboard combination, but for some reason it doesn't work on PDF's and I have to end up using the graphical back button.
There are some websites out there that for some reason or another break the Back button's behaviour. Sometimes I have to hold down the mouse button to get the back button menu in order to work around that problem.
In another case there was this page in Amazon that wouldn't allow me to go back to. Everytime I went to that page the browser to automatically kick me to the next page. I had to disable javascript to work around that problem.

Back Button Doesn't Work on Some Websites

How come my Back Button Doesn't Work on Some Websites? It just keeps redisplaying the same page over and over. Example:
http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/front

The back button doesn't work for some websites after downloading version 4.0

I recently downloaded firefox version 4.0. Upon downloading it I had a few issues occur with my browser. One issue was that all of my bookmarks that were on my toolbar disappeared. Also, when I visit a website and am browsing through it, if I want to go back to a previous page the back button doesn't work properly. Instead of sending me back to the previous page I was viewing it sends me all the way back to the home page or wherever I started on that website. This problem basically affects all websites that I visit. I would like to uninstall the new version of firefox and just go back to my old one if that's possible? Thanks

To respond to your comments first of all, the Bookmarks toolbar has been removed in Firefox 4.0
The back button should work as it normally does, but you can also right click it and select it from the list.
To revert to a previous version of Firefox, download v3.6.16 from here: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16]
Then uninstall Mozilla Firefox 4.0 choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc.
Finally run the Firefox installation file you downloaded earlier.

Back button doesn't work in Flash Pro CS6 Simulator (ADL)

Hi everyone. I'm testing Flash Pro CS6, and I've noticed the Back button is not detected in my Android app when testing in ADL (Control / Test movie / In ADL Mobile).
When I try to select the option Device / Back (Ctrl+B) in ADL, it just doesn't do anything (I have a KEY_DOWN event listener which looks for the keycode Keyboard.BACK). In a real Android device, it works, but not in the "test movie" window (ADL). In CS5.5, the Back button always worked in ADL.
Also, in the new Simulator window which comes up when "testing movie", there are "Menu", "Back" and "Search" buttons for easier access. Well, that Back button doesn't do anything, either.
Does anyone know what's happening?
BTW, I don't find the "Simulator" window too useful for my purposes. How can I disable it, so it doesn't automatically come up?
Thanks!
Edit: Well, it seems the KEY_DOWN event listener doesn't work for any key, not only the Back button.

WHOWWW...
suitable for Flash Player 11.6
Back that down to as low a version as possible... 10 or so if possible.
My advice.... never... ever target the latest version of plugin... most users will NOT have that plugin installed.
Back it down and if that doesn't work, post a link to the actual Web page.
Best wishes,

Razer DeathAdder Mouse back button doesn't work

I got the new Air (Intel i5 1.3Ghz) and it came with OSX 10.8. Right now it is updated to 10.8.4.
I connected my Razer DeathAdder 3.5G mouse and the back button does not work. I downloaded the correct driver from Razer and I tried to customize it but it only allows me to set the back button as "button 4" and the forward button as "button 5." According to the Razer website FAQ, these settings are recognized on windows as back/forward and that if you want to use these buttons on OSX, you must set the "button 4" as back. It reccomends that I go into the System Preference > Mouse and change the settings.
Unfortunatly in the Mouse settings, there is only Tracking Speed, Double-Click Speed, Scrolling Speed, and Primary Mouse Button.
Does anybody have ANY idea how I can get the two buttons to do back and forward? At the moment, both back and forward buttons just open links in a new tab.
Cheers

I just figured it out. You need to download Synapse software from
Razer Support
then you configure the buttons with keyboard assignments as follows:
Select button 4. Keyboard shortcut.Command+[
Select button 5. Keyboard shortcut.Command+]
Hope that helps!

FF7 Back button doesn't work in certain websites

On some websites, the back button (clicking the back arrow or using keyboard shortcut) doesnt work. I looks like it wants to, but stays on the same page, no matter how many times I click it.
And it works fine on a lot of other sites.
FF 7.0.1 as default browser, Vista Business SP2.
It's consistent on seacoastonline.com. I've tried disabling all plugins and extensions, running in safe mode, renaming places.sqlite file.

Any entries in the session history of that tab?
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

Green "Back" Button Doesn't Work in Internet Browser

I am using the integrated Internet browser. If I navigate to the Google home page, do a search and select a page from the search results, pressing the green "previous" button doesn't result in the search results page being displayed. Instead the current page is re-loaded. If I keep pressing the green button, I can eventually get back to the search results (because I am jumping back quicker than the page can re-load).Is there another browser app I can try, or is there any setting i can change?The TV is a KDL32W706B.

Hi Eugbug,
You can't install other web browser. Please make sure to install the latest software then try to re-launch the browser.
If the issue is still presist. We kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

Back button doesn't work in https google search

Google search seems to have made https mandatory when logged in. This breaks history and the behaviour of the back button from the results page back to the google search results page. I think that this is because google, upon clicking on a result link, redirects to the results page via an intermediary, obfuscated url, which causes the back button to also redirect back to the result page. This is exactly the same problem as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/892406?e=es&as=aaq for which there is no solution, as google doesn't allow us to disable https anymore. BTW, this behaviour is not replicted on chrome, i.e., back button works correctly in spite of the intermediate redirecting page.

Hi,
You can try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=search NoScript] add-on which may help.

Back button doesn't work..

The home button on my ipad doesn't work any more, for a while i had to keep pushing it for it to finally go back or exit an application but now doesn't work at all.. any suggestions or should i just head to the apple store?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

The browser's back button doesn't work for portlet navigation

I developed a simple portlet that uses webflow navigation to navigate within a
portlet. I made this portlet visible on a portal's home page. When I view my
main portal page, the URL is "http://localhost:7501/samplePortal/index.jsp "
In this page I can see my portlet. When I click on a link inside of the portlet,
it takes me to the page I want. Then, when I click the browser's back button
to go back to the previous page(main portal page), it doesn't work. The URL changes
back to "http://localhost:7501/samplePortal/index.jsp", but portlet itself doesn't
take me to the previous page. Anybody have any ideas? I am guessing it's because
the wfevent is null, but how do I resolve this problem?

Hi Jay,
I was able to get the back button to work for portals by commenting out the following
lines in the portal.jsp:
// prevent caching these pages at clients.
// response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.1
// response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.0
// response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); // prevents caching at proxy
I also made sure my browser was set to allow the caching of pages.
You are having problems, because we set the response headers to tell the browser
to not cache the portal pages, and the portlet state has not changed back to it's
original state.

Round back button doesn't work

The round button on the edge doesn't work. Have to power off to get back to home page.

Calibrate Home Button
1. Open a stock application like Calendar, Weather or Youtube
2. Hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" control appears
3. As soon as you see it, press the Home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is forced quit to the Home menu

Finder 'Back' button doesn't work as expected

Try this in Leopard Finder: In Finder View Options (Command-J), set Applications to always open in icon view, and Documents to always open in list view. Now open a fresh window and click each in the sidebar. They open as expected, one in icon view, and the other in list view. Now click the back button, and you're looking at the folder you just had open half a second earlier, but it's suddenly shifted to a different view - a view you explicitly told the Finder you didn't want this folder to open in. How does this make sense?

Back Button is not functional on many sites after clicking a link there, particularly on new aggregation sites. What gives?

Seems to be happening on news aggregation sites.
Will click a link to a story, read the story, and then will be unable to link back to the the prior page using the Back Button.
Happens on some sites and not on others.

I don't know for sure as I'm having some trouble with this Restorer addon myself, but I think you can't get the orange button to appear as it has at the left of the internet address field. I guess the Restorer addon took this feature off.
I don't know why that when ever there's a FF upgrade, more things that are working no longer work. Why they mess with functions we have gotten used to using, I wish I knew. I wish they would stop - I'm ready to not get any more upgrades - who know what will get messed up next???
You might want to go to the Restorer addon webpage and ask the question of the developers.
