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 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 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.

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 !

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I can see it, but its not highlighted as if I just opened a new page and have nothing to go back to. I can't return to my previous page.

You are on 3.6.8 so this may not apply to you
Extensions that may '''interfere with Back Button''', and these are already listed in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Problematic extensions] for other reasons
*McAfee Site Advisor (update perhaps 3rd week July 2011)
*Yahoo Toolbar (https://support.mozilla.com/questions/845691)
For you it might be
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
You should download 3.6.18 so you will be at least on a supported version of Firefox, read the top, you want -- English (US)
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html
When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

The back button doesn' always work. Even right clicking on the page doesn't give me the option to go back and if i check the history, the page i was trying to go back to, is not listed.

I've noticed the problem yesterday and it has happened few times today again.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

When I click on a link, the BACK button doesn't work anymore in Windows 7. I've tried multiple settings, even TabMixPlus, but no luck. Why doesn't it keep track of pages so I can go back to where I started?

I am using 3.6.15 and tried version 4 to no avail.

Do you have McAfee Site Advisor installed? See http://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/753639
I'd also advise you to update to v3.6.16 because the version you're running right now is a security risk. Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.

Why the 'select & define' doesn't work for some apps? For instance CNN, newsstand.

As above.

Sounds like you've probably already looked but the CUPS article in the wiki led me through setting up a printer without any problems. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS
The first section describes how to troubleshoot CUPS and printing problems.
I've also found a few other posts and links that may help.

My mini Ipad says I haven't backed it up to iCloud for 2 weeks. Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locks, and connected to wifi. The ok button doesn't work, I can't open settings to make sure wifi is connected. Nothing works!!!

My mini Ipad says: I haven't backed it up to iCloud for 2 weeks. Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locks, and connected to wifi.
The ok button doesn't work, I can't open settings to make sure wifi is connected. Nothing works!!! I have it pluggled into my computer but apparently it isn't backing up since nothing has changed. it is unuseable!

Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. 1st gen iPad.

A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. The message is now fixed & I cannot get rid of it. Ironically, when I found this forum I was able to set up an apple Id. Please advise how to get rid of the pop-up box. Thanks!

I'm having this same problem as well and cannot advance--very irritating. All of the information is filled out correctly and I've editted my AppleID information online separately as well to get around this issue, but no luck...
