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

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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • The back button doesn't work on some pages

    I go to bookmarks and navigate to a page, when I use a link on that page to go to another part the back button on the tool bar does not become active to I can go back. This seems to be happening on all web sites.

    There used to be a very useful down arrow button next to the back button which brought up recent history, but it was removed in Firefox version 4. For the life of me, I don't understand why. If you have an older version, just click the down arrow button and select the page you were at before you loaded the offending page.
    If you have Firefox v 4 or 5, the best workaround I know of is to do an <alt-s> from the keyboard, which will bring down a history list from which you can select the page you were at before you got trapped. Alternatively, you can bring up the old style menu bar by pressing either Alt or F10, and then drop down the history menu by clicking on it with your mouse. If you want to make that menu bar permanent, you can select View -> Toolbars -> Menu Bar.

  • Back button no longer works in some specific situations; also, it appears that clearing cache isn't working.

    The "back" button no longer works in certain specific situations on certain specific websites -- especially on the very website on which I need to use it very frequently. This has been going on for a couple of weeks.
    Also, I noticed today that the "clear cache now" command doesn't seem to be working. Formerly, when I cleared the cache, I had to re-login to those websites that normally "remember" my login (because clearing the cache erased that "memory") -- but today, after using the "clear cache now" command, those websites still "remember" my login, which leads me to believe the cache didn't get cleared. Is there any other way to check whether it got cleared?
    I was attempting to clear the cache in the faint hope that this might help the above "back" button problem, as no one has yet given me a solution for this that has worked. One person suggested having Firefox re-create the possibly damaged "places.sqlite" and "places.sqlite-journal" files. I tried this, but there was no change to the problem.
    I think this problem started around the time I had a few Firefox crashes while using YouTube and doing something else on the computer at the same time.
    I just today learned about the "crash signature" -- how to look it up, and to include it in a forum question. However, the crash log did not show these recent crashes, only some others from a few months ago. So, I'm unable to show the crash signature for this.
    I'm guessing there's a chance that upgrading to a newer version of Firefox might fix this problem -- but I hesitate to do that, because it occurs to me that it also may be possible that changing the program before fixing this might make it harder to fix. I don't have enough knowledge of this software to know which is more likely, and I don't like to try things at random, in ignorance of the possible results. Also, after reading today several other forum comments from people who are unhappy with their Firefox upgrades, I hesitate to upgrade for that reason, also.

  • I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

    I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. And some contacts occasionally have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel Mac. A real Mac **** up ! Any ideas ?

    Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
    Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

  • 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,

  • Updated to Flash 10 for OSX10.4 but it doesn't work on some websites

    I'm using Firefox but it happens in Safari as well. Some websites are OK. But others with flash appear blank or on myspace the music says i need to update my flash player. I have the newest flash player. I went to the check if flash installed correctly and i see the animation and all is fine. But some websites with flash don't seem to work.
    Is there an easy fix somehow? Why do some work and others left blank?

    there must be a solution. come on guys... i uninstalled using the adobe uninstaller and reinstalled but still no good. works for some websites, doesn't work for others

  • 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
    ahan88

    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!

  • The back button doesn't work anymore

    I have updated my firefox and since then the back button doens't work anymore and also the browser is slowly... The earlier version of firefox was better!

    Indeed the culprit was McAfee SiteAdviser, the cure is
    for Windows 32-bit: https://sadownload.mcafee.com/products/SA/IE/upgrade/3.3.1/32/saUpgrade32.exe
    for Windows 64-bit: https://sadownload.mcafee.com/products/SA/IE/upgrade/3.3.1/64/saUpgrade64.exe

  • When I open a new tab, then go to a new website, the back button doesn't work.

    For instance, I open craigslist in a new tab, then I click on "sporting goods". I try to click back to go back to the original craigslist page and the back button is not lit up and does not work. However if after I am on the sporting goods page (the second page I've looked at in that tab) I click on a set of golf clubs, the back button works to go to the sporting goods page.
    Please help, I have to use explorer in the mean time :(

    I had this problem, but in addition, the refresh button didn't work on the new tab. If you're running McAfee SiteAdvisor, disable it in the addons menu, allow firefox to restart, and see if that solves the problem. It did for me.
    This problem has been reported on McAfee's forum and they say they're working on a fix.

  • 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?
