Firefox 4--can't go back--page flickers back, then flips forward again

When I hit the "go back" arrow in Firefox 4 (in XP), the page flickers back, then flips forward again to the current page. Very frustrating!
Help appreciated.

There are three options to access the history: (1) Click and hold the back button. (2) Right click the back button (3) If you really want the dropmarker back, install an addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/.
Hope that helps:)

    With a Device plugged in - place your mouse cursor over  DEVICES - you should see 'show' or 'hide'. Click on 'show'.

    Yes, my err.  720X480
    For the Frame Rate, was it really 29.97 frames per second and you rounded it off to 29 frames per second? Or,
    is the frame rate really 29 frames per second?

  • Every time I update Firefox I can't get back on the internet. I have to uninstall and go back to an old Firefox.

    I have an old Firefox. Every time I update to a new version, I can't get back on the internet. It tells me it can't find the server. So I have to uninstall the updated version and go back to my old version.

    Check your firewall settings.

  • Had nothing but problems with M-firefox 4-can we go back to 3?

    We have experienced nothing but problems since we changed to mozilla firefox 4. We are not very computer literate+liked the basic style of FF 3. We would like to go back to FF 3-could we enlist your assistance?

    Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
    If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use
    your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of
    installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

    This page has .png files of old logo 128*128 works well:
    https://blog.mozilla.org/faaborg/2009/06/18/the-new-firefox-icon/
    Use this page to convert to .ico file:
    http://www.convertico.com/
    Save the created icon to local computer.
    Then download this and use to replace icon, you need to load your FF application, change appropriate icons, and save. FF can not be running when you save.
    Also go to desktop and taskbar, right click icon, go to properties, and change icon.

  • Firefox 5 can't find home page at startup.

    My home page is http://online.wsj.com/home-page; it's set to show my home page at startup. But when Firefox 5 starts, it instead tries to open another page (below) and a message appears:
    "The page isn't redirecting properly
    "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
    I click the "Try Again" button and the home page loads correctly.
    I don't know where this URL came from, nor how to get rid of it.

  • I can no longer use my work email from home, after downloading this new version of Firefox. Can I go back to version 3.5?

    I am prompted for my username and password and I can get into my email account, but no information is given. I get an error message but I don't remember what it says. It suggests going to view then refresh to try again but that doesn't work.

  • 1  OSX Lion Mission Control vs Snow Leopard Expose can't we combine the two (by leaving older Expose options inside) and get Apple back to leaping forward again?

    So I am a web/software developer and I am having major beef with OSX Lion's Mission Control.  While I think Mission Control and Application Windows are interesting additions to the multi-tasking nature and scheme of the OS, removing the older Expose Spaces and All Windows is a huge mistake.  Couldn't Apple have just left all of the old stuff in? Then the system would be complete.  As pretty as Mission Control and Application Windows is, the older Snow Leopard Spaces and Expose moved much faster and tamed all of my apps in a very efficient way.
    Here is why Mission Control is not as fast as Spaces and Expose:....
    1. With Spaces all of the desktops and their connected monitors were consolidated to one monitor in which you can easily see everything going on from a birds eye view.  You cloud easily drag open windows between them freely and even swap spaces.  This was huge because you could see everything.  You could even activate All Windows over Spaces and see everything..Mission Control will group everything but you can't move programs across desktops unless it's the main desktop to the little desktop.  Nor can you move windows across monitors.  This is frustrating.  Also the desktop are split to their respective monitor so I no longer have a birds-eye key-map access.
    2. All Windows is so necessary and slick. Mission Control or Application Windows can't quite keep up.  If I have a cluttered desktop and hit all windows, I can get any window at any time no matter how buried it is.  Application Windows is useful but only applies to the focused application…but what if it's buried?  I have to activate mission control first, select one of the windows from the program group, then activate Application Windows to get to that window.  Also if there are many windows open for an application, Mission Control cannot replace All Windows because they stack and you can't quite tell which of the windows you want is accessible in that stack.
    The bottom line is, put both of them together!  Keep the old functionality as an option, because truth be told, the old way of doing things is still considerably faster under heavy work loads.  I would use the Snow Leopard expose features more often.  There is still room for Application Windows and Mission Control, but even after re-training myself I feel I'm moving at 70% of the multitasking speed that I used to move at before using Snow Leopard Expose.  I mean this legitimately, I develop using multiple OS's along with video chat and instead of being a leap forward, Lion is a step backward and that just isn't like apple, everything Apple has done has been leaps and bounds forward.  Let's leap forward and not only have all the sweet new features that Lion offers, but combine with the productive features that really moved and maybe just integrate into Lion's style.  Bottle that and you have something sweeter than Yoohoo.

    I completely agree with airbnboy. I used to be able to quick organised different windows within the same app to different spaces (now "desktops" for no apparent reason). This worked very smoothly in expose/spaces. I'd use one gesture to get to spaces, then another for expose, and I'd have all my windows in all spaces visible.
    Now, I can't even see all of my windows in specific to one desktop! The best I can do is double scroll to see *some parts* of the windows on a desktop. So now, selecting a window for a specifc app is huge pain.
    Worse than this, on moving windows from a desktop to another in, Mission Control will change the ordering of the stacks (per app, not the windows in the stacks). Umm, what is the possible benefit there?
    So, now there is no use of spatial memory - e.g. Window X for App Y was in the top left of all my windows in the top left space, and I want to move it now. It's no longer possible to see all app windows in a specific "desktop", and much more effort is required to move windows around.
    Great, well done Apple. Can we please, please have Expose and Spaces back as an option? Or at the very least, some way to view all windows for a specifc app on a specific desktop - and by "view", I mean see the whole window, not just a tiny indicator of the window, or a slightly expanded stack that may not give enough context.
    The only reason I "upgraded" to Lion was to get XCode 4.2.

  • How can I uninstall Xerox print drivers and then reinstall them again

    Somehow I installed the wrong print drivers for our xerox printers running on the latest version of leopard and installing the correct driver doesn't seem to solve the problem. I want to remove all xerox driver files and reinstall the correct version of the driver.

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:
