Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs

Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs. Not just that memory of previous URLs got wiped out, it still doesn't remember the ones I've typed in since I updated. And No back button, it's really hard to use.
I went thru all the settings and could not find a way to fix this problem. What is up? I've never had this happen in any version of IE, FF, or Chrome.
Can I get back previous version? Until then, it's Chrome and IE for me.
I'll be happy to delete any plug-ins if it will make this problem go away.
THANKS in advance!

Thanks. This didn't solve te problem but it seemed to have solved itself. all of a sudden it started working properly, without me even closing FF and starting it up again. Thanks Cor-el, if it happens again I'll try your solution.

    Since updating to ios 8.2 my email is no longer working.  Any idea why?  I have restarted my phone multiple times, tried deleting email account and readding it, but nothing is loading.  Mail says last updated Sunday which was when I did the software update.

  • 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.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    When using Firefox as my browser, my "back" button no longer works? And by the way...getting help is a real pain in the butt on this site!!!!!

    see -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
    which explains how to completely exit (quit) your Mozilla application
    Try closing Firefox completely
    *Close Firefox properly '''File > Exit''', not with the "X" which just closes the window.
    *Use the Windows Task Manager "Processes" tab to make sure that firefox.exe is not running and also that the plugin-container.exe is not running.
    If that does not work, try restarting the system.
    If still no luck try restoring bookmarks from last backup, or better create your own .json backup and restore from that.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox#Creating_bookmark_backups
    *''If you had to go this far, please provide feedback if restoring bookmarks alone fixed the problem. I think I may have done that once with success, but never see that suggested -- I'd try most anything to not lose history or bookmarks. But then I could restore files from my profile and restore latest bookmarks backup from current profile.''
    The following will result in complete loss of history if it comes down to deleting places.sqlite, so rename files rather than deleting. With Firefox down.
    Of course you have backups of your profile you could replace rename and
    replace those files instead.

  • Back button does not work and homepage does not show on startup

    My back and forward buttons do not work anymore. they just show grey and I can not click on them.
    Also my home page does not show when i start firefox.
    I reinstalled firefox 4 and then went back to firefox 3.6.16 and have the same problem in both versions.
    Not sure what to do anymore
    I just found out that when I open a second window everything works fine in the second window, but it still does not work in the first window.
    When I close both windows the same thing happens. The first window my home page does not show up and the back button does not work, but the second window works normal. Including my home page.

    Yeah, I am having the same problem (with 4.0 and earlier versions). It is really frustrating to say the least. I never thought I'd say this, but I might have to go back to IE if FF is going to be this useless. I noticed that you have to right click (instead of left click like it works in the real world) on the backwards/forwards buttons, and that is no less frustrating since my mouses backwards/forwards buttons no longer work with this new asinine button set up.

  • Updated to 3.0 - sluggish responses and "back" button no longer working?

    Hi all, first post - I'd like to know if others are having similar experiences after upgrading to 3.0 on a 2nd gen ipod touch.
    First off, when playing music, the "back" button always used to take me back to the previous song if the current song had only just started. However, now when I press "back", I get a random song, just like pressing "forward" in shuffle mode - so I cannot go back to re-rate a song for example. I want my "back" button back!
    Second, does anyone else find the responses to the "forward" and "back" buttons slow? There's like a half-second delay while the ipod "thinks" about performing the action, and before the screen updates (scrolls to the next album cover or details screen).
    Hoping there will be an official update ASAP to address these issues!

    Anytime you have problems like this, you should go through this routine:
    1. Restart your iPod - Hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the red slider - turn it off. To turn it back on, use the Sleep/Wake button and you will see an Apple icon as it restarts.
    2. Reset your iPod - Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home buttons down together until you see an Apple logo (takes about 10 seconds). Let your iPod restart.
    3. And finally, if those don't work for you, restore your iPod in iTunes. Everything will be wiped off and reloaded - and no, you won't lose anything.
    BTW, broken WiFi seems to be a very individual problem and there appear to be some work arounds. Battery life doesn't seem to be a general issue but again, an individual problem.

  • Since updating to v.3.4.5 adjustment brushes no longer work? Please help??

    Hi Guys,
    I have just updated to Aperture 3.4.5.
    Annoyingly the adjustment brushes and sliders such as "straighten" no longer work. They are added to my adjustments panel when I select them from the drop-down menu, but are accompanied by the sound of the dreaded apple beep (suggesting something is wrong) and do not change the cursor into the appropriate tool, thus preventing me from carrying out these particular adjustments.
    If someone has any solutions for this problem, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Test again in a different user account with a small test library. Does it still not work for a different user after reinstalling?
    And test in your regular account with a small test library.
    is it possibly something to do with an incombatiability between the new update and a plug-in?
    Which plug-ins are you using? Are they all compatible with Aperture 3.4 and Lion?

  • Firefox url goes grey, and back button no longer works.

    Ok so most annoying problem EVER!! Ok so I have this problem where I will be running firefox, browsing the net, and then all of the sudden the url bar will grey out and only the domain root will be solid.
    Once it does this, I cannot use the back button, in fact from there on out, many url's will not even show up in the navigation.
    The browser works just fine then out of nowhere will start pulling this.
    An example would be
    [http://www.cnatrainingcertificationclasses.com http://www.cnatrainingcertificationclasses.com]/topics-you-can-expect-in-your-cna-classes/275/ , and then the end would be grayed out. Soooo maddening

  • Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I can no longer open and populate fields in eith Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Readers wher I used to be able to.

    In earlier version of Firefox I could open a PDF file from my Insurance provider with some of the fields automatically populated. Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I can no longer open PDF file from this site.
    I have upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X and also Adobe Reader X in an effort to resolve this issue with no luck.
    I have changed the settings under tools/options to use Adobe in Firefox as well as use Adobe as default with no difference.
    I seem to recall a note of some sort when upgrading Firefox to 4.0 about compatibility with Adobe but cannot recall the details.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    I use Windows 7 64 bit operating system.

    The URL below is to Adobe's Acrobat update page.
    There you'll find each of the incremental updates to Acrobat 10.
    They must be installed one at a time in sequence. 
      http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    Now, if after attempted updates fail then you'll need to speak with your IT Department.
    You need your install of Acrobat 10 updated to dot version 10.1.7.
    Be well...

  • Ever since updating my iphone to IOS6, my imessages are no longer working, its all regular text messages.  is this something that has changed with the new update?

    I can't figure out why my iMessages have stopped working since I updated my OS.  Is this an effect of the new update? Thanks for any insight!

    What 4.0.1 changes is the display of signal strength, which was much too optimistic in earlier versions of iOS. The actual signal strength has not changed, nor will it ever by a software update.
    You cannot compare signal strength by how many bars are drawn. This is an interpretation of actual signal strength (which is expressed in deciBells) by the software. This software can change between revisions of software on the same device and most definitely is different between devices of different manufacturers.
    Here is a nice graphic rendering of what's happening: http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/gadgets/apple/iPhone4/part2/iPhoneSignal_bot h.jpg

  • I have found since updating to the new firefox that certain links no longer work. Has anyone else experienced this. It is becoming a real issue.

    For example, google search page links or links on certain web sites work in Safari but in firefox they are simply dead.
    Clicking on some google search page links takes you to a blank page or one with an error message. Links on shopping pages and credit card sites are non-responsive, for example, to download statements.

    Thanks very much for your response.
    Its worked like a charm. Still rather odd that the home button doesn't work though.
    Have a great day and appreciate the tip very much.
