The browser back button is not working correctly when using the search funtion in ProBoards forums. Is there a known issue with ProBoards & FF?

I have submitted a bug report to ProBoards, but they cannot duplicate the problem I am having, so I am submitting this here in hopes you can find a solution.
At ProBoards Support and another PB forum while doing searches I found this problem, which continues with repeated testing over the past week or so:
url: http://support.proboards.com/search
1. enter perameters for the search (posts only by staff for the last 2 days)
2. choose one of those post results & click on it (choose a post on page 14 and not on page 1 of the results)
3. using the browser back button, attempt to return to the previous page of search results
4. rather than being taken back to the search results with my parameters, the search parameters have been removed and the page show 1000 results of posts by everybody.
I have tested this over and over again, disabling plugins, and nothing seems to alter the malfunctioning of the back button when I am doing this search function at ProBoards.
I have tested it in Internet Explorer and find that in IE the browser back button works properly with ProBoards searches. I always get the result I expect, so it's a problem with how FF interfaces with ProBoards, I think.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Browser back button does not work (IE) - Error On Page message

    Just take over website from our designer; I'm new, probably doing more fiddling on the live remote website than I should be...
    http://www.cmcwny.org
    Error On Page message, internal links work, but the browser Back button does not (at least in IE). 
    I have a backup of my local site from before this happened, but I do not know how to actually replace it.
    Any help on either issue will be appreciated, thanks!

    Hi
    First, get rid of your designer, the page design/code is a mess.
    There are a number of problems with the page, not least being the disabling of the back button in all browsers I tested it in, (visitors may visit once with this, but are unlikely to do so a 2nd time).
    The menu system is a fixed size so that when the browser is resized it overflows the browser window.
    The use of tables for layout is not recommended as it is inaccessible to users using assistive devices.
    To put this more politely, if you paid for this, ask for your money back. If you did not pay, then start again and use one of the dreamweaver layouts for your page, for more info, see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing_new_css_layouts.html.

  • Does the browser back/forward literally not work?

    Does anyone else find the Browser/Media tab so frikkin annoying?
    I'm browsing through folders to find samples to put into my project and everytime i go back, it goes back to the last folder full of samples i was in, rather than literally going 'back.'
    It literally doesnt work!
    I also find that we need favourites like Ableton does.
    And... the right click on the home icon and selecting 'set current folder as home' only works whilst you have that session open. When you close and reopen its forgotten!
    Bah Humbug APPLE!

    Spry or regular hyperlinks in a list or nav configuration. Either is better than Flash buttons.
    Thing is, a search bot will read the HTML in those kinds of links (spry or HTML) and index them. That way if you have an event calendar for upcoming shows, or a discography page, it can find them and will be able to make a reference to them in later search engine databases (usually about 72 hours after the indexing). With the Flash buttons there is no code for the bot to find and your upcoming events, or a downloads page if there is one, will never be seen in a search even if people look directly for "fireonmcginnis: schedule", or "music by fireonmcginnis" because to Google, Yahoo, Lycos and the others the pages simply don't exist.
    Spry is great if you have submenus, and since it can be customized using CSS, you can make it match your site layout. You can also do that with regualr hyperlinks and CSS, but spry has a more appealing look to a lot of web users and the submenus are a little harder with basic HTML.
    For the record the script should read: getURL ("http://www.site.com/page.html" "_self"); for the buttons. There'a s drop down to select _self, _blank, _parent etc. when you add the getURL script to the button.
    But... you need to stay away from Flash buttons for navigation or you're really defeating the purpose of putting a band on a website in the first place. It's about exposure and Flash buttons will severely limit that exposure, even if they work properly.

  • I'm trying to capture all minimized windows of the browser but something is not working correctly, Why i can't get all the windows ?

    The Callback method:
    private bool Callback(IntPtr hwnd, int lParam)
    if (this.Handle != hwnd && (Constants.GetWindowLongA(hwnd, Constants.GWL_STYLE) & Constants.TARGETWINDOW) == Constants.TARGETWINDOW)
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(100);
    Constants.GetWindowText(hwnd, sb, sb.Capacity);
    Window t = new Window();
    t.Handle = hwnd;
    t.Title = sb.ToString();
    windows.Add(t);
    return true;

    Don't know if it's decisive, but lParam should be IntPtr here:
         private bool Callback(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr lParam)
    What is Constants.TARGETWINDOW? For retrieving GWL_STYLE, the valid styles (Link) do not contain this name.

  • Completion Insight not working correctly when using Enterprise User Security (EUS) logon

    This is a pre existing issue we've experienced with SQL Developer, though I've only just worked out what is causing the issue it is present in previous versions of the tool, up to the current 4.0.EA2.
    We experience issues with the Completion Insight functionality of SQL Developer.
    When we log into a database using Enterprise User Security i,e authenticating against OID, the schema of the database account is prefixed to any reference to public synonyms, ie all user_%, all_%, dba_% and v$% views.
    When I change the authentication of the database account back to normal database authentication the schema prefix correctly isn't shown. It simply suggests the synonym name of the views.
    An example of this is as follows when attempting to query the DBA_TABLES view:
    The database account is ORADBA and has DBA privs.
    The EUS user that is mapped to the ORADBA schema is dbutler.
    The ORADBA user is configured to authenticate externally (against OID).
    I login with my dbutler directory credentials:
    If I start typing:
    select * from dba_tabl
    The object name is suggested as ORADBA.dba_tables
    If I change the authentication of the ORADBA account back to database authentication, the prefix is no longer present.
    i.e If I start typing:
    select * from dba_tabl
    The object name is suggested as dba_tables

    If you're not using DB 10.2 this is the "expected" behavior for the DB. See also metalink note 351170.1 "Enterprise Users Can Connect to a Database when the OID Account is Disabled"

  • Synology webpage not working correctly when using Video surveillance

    Hi all,
    I have a issue, that is not happening with my windows virtual installed on my mac osx..
    When i open this page with safari, or chrome, i have different problems, and the most likley is the one on my screenshot..
    The webpage is hanging after clicking on a camera, or watching a live video that is have recorded earlier this day..
    The only solution is to restore this webpage, bij refreshing it.
    I did install the plugin from Synology, the problem is only in OSX  10.10.1 not in Windows 7 with IE, there its working perfectly
    On this screen its hanging, and its in dutch, translated to english    Busy with loading....
    Please help... thanks!

    If the issue is only with the Snynology website then my guess would be to reach out to Synology, ask if they have similar issues with the browsers you use (and versions) and Yosemite

  • "back" button does not work correctly in Firefox 4. I have downgraded because of this.

    Our intranet has a page (1) from which user generates a list of links to other items (page2). Follow one of these links to page (3). Press "back" - returns to page (1) not page (2). Works ok in Firefox 3.6.17.

    Instructions for a clean installation then.<br><br>
    #Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download the installation file to your desktop.<br><br>
    #Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
    #Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
    #Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
    After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

  • On certain websites, my own, that use flash the pages do not work if you use the back button in the browser. They have to be refreshed before any of the links will work again. Very frustrating.

    When I am browsing my own sites (2 of them) which are built in Flash, everything is fine following the links on the pages. But if I hit the back button in the browser, the pages freeze up and none of the links work anymore. If I refresh the page, then the links work fine.
    This does not happen on Safari as after pressing the browser back button, all is well.

    Dear jscher2000, thank you for your response! I'm running 16.01 version, so the 3.6.20 version isn't the correct one. I've updated it yesterday.
    I also have to mention that today everything seems to work just fine! :) I don't experience the problems anymore and all links work again just normally, eventhough I'm logged into Facebook account. Maybe it was just a temporary bug.
    I couldn't say what was the reason to that solution, but I'm glad there aren't problems anymore with Mozilla.
    Thank you again and best regards,
    Nina

  • 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!!!!!

    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.

  • The back button does not work consistently, and rarely works if I open an attachment...any ideas on fixing this?

    The back button does not work consistently, and rarely if ever when I open an attachment. Does anyone have a fix for this?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == I installed firefox

    Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

  • My back and forward buttons do not work also the refreash button does not work, I have reloaded the latest version of fire fox and that did not help. HELP please.

    My back and forward buttons do not work also the refresh button does not work, I have reloaded the latest version of fire fox and that did not help. All of navigation tool bar worked until I updated Fire Fox, now if I click on a link in yahoo, for instance, I can not get back to my yahoo home page without reloading Fire Fox. HELP please.

    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
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • There is no longer a "close tab" under the file menu, so how do I go back to a previous page when the back button will not work?

    Often the back button will not work. I can find no "close tab" under the menus, which I think used to be there, and which is used with Internet Explorer to go to the previous page. How can I go back to the previous page with Firefox when the back button will not work?

    No you can't. Apple don't support downgrading of iOS.

  • Browser "back" button won't work when linked from Catalyst graphic

    I am using Flash Catalyst in (CS5 Design Premium) because I am much more a print than web designer so bear with me.
    I created a .swf file in FC, and placed it at the top of a "router index" page. I linked 10 "buttons" in the .swf, each to a different anchor on the "router index" page. Clicking on each "button" jumps to the correct anchor, so far so good.
    The problem is, when I hit the browser "BACK BUTTON" in IE only (Safari and Firefox work fine), it does not jump back to the top of the "router index" page. It jumps back to a previously opened page (homepage or another page), instead of back to the FC .swf graphic on the "router index".
    FC apparently only allows linking to "absolute" URL's, not "relative" URL's, (so my links to the anchors are "absolute"). I don't know if this is the source of the problem with IE. I have always linked to anchors previously in Dreamweaver using "relative" URL's, and have never encountered this problem.
    I looked over the files that FC creates and cannot find one that I understand, or shows an editable file path that I can change.
    I hope i don't have to buy Flash Builder. Right now I have Design Premium. And... I don't understand Actionscript.
