Address/Location bar, forward-back buttons are not shown

Address/Location bar, forward-back buttons are not shown in my browser. How can I make them visible?

If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Make sure that the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

In the Navigation toolbar, the Forward/back buttons are dimmed, and the URL bar has "Search Bookmarks and History"

The Forward and Back buttons are dimmed and don't work, and "Search Bookmarks and History" is in the URL bar. Also, I sometimes find blank pages with "Search Bookmarks and History" in the URL bar after visiting some websites.

The maximize/minimize and close and buttons are not shown correctly when FF windows is maximized.

I have the same problem on all my computers, one running Windows 7 and two with Vista.
The three buttons in the upper right corner of the FF windows are not shown correctly. They are soft of cut off in the middle when the FF window is maximized.

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off. 
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window. 
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

I know there are some problems with Question Slides, but I'm using them as timesavers. Building question slides yourself takes a lot more time. When I started using them, I had to find the right settings to get the results I wanted, but now mostly I do not have that much problems anymore (if the internet connection is not failing).
What are your Quiz settings: can the user have more than one attempt, do you allow Backward movement, Review possibility etc? Is the uploading to a LMS (which one), what were the Manifest settings?

The back and forward browser buttons are NOT ALWAYS available to use, so once I open a web-site I can not go back to what I was looking at previously. This has only started happening recently?

The back and forward browser button always works when we first get online, and then over some time it will not work and then will work again (working again is happening less). I have re-started the computer many times to fix the issue.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I use the old version of firefox and have tried the new one BUT on the new one the down arrow next to the forward/back buttons is not there. I need to have this so I can return to several pages ago, please tell me if the new version has this feature

Old versions have a down arrow next to the front and back buttons to show all the pages you have visiteed and can return to but the new version does not have this feature

( Windows) right click the arrows and the listing will appear. The change may well be documented somewhere but if so I do not recall where. Presumably other OS such as Mac's will also have the feature using some other shortcut.
If this solves your problem please '''log in''' and then click the solved button, the question and answer will then display in search results and should help others.

Mouse Forward/Back Button - Frames not Working

FireFox 4 - The mouse back button (programmed Alt/left arrow + Alt/right arrow) does not support browser window with split panes - multiple scrolling window panes. The front/back mouse buttons works with the left window pane, but not the right frame does not work. This worked in previous version.

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")

Forward / back buttons are missing

Hi
I know that this topic was discussed in
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=65&catid=451&threadid =1214168&highlight_key=y&keyword1=back.
And there is a link to solution. Unfortunately, it is not quite
clear to me where to find the solution.
Can anyone help
Thanx
Lena

c'mon, lena, don't give up. you're almost there.
ClubHans is right on the money.
it sounds like you didn't go far enough into whtbar.js;
you're by the "Show Navigation Component, " right? gotta go lower.
like lines 808 and 827 on my whtbar.js. (plus, it really helps if
you use a text editor that has line numbers; i use a trial copy of
texpad, which is better than notepad:
http://www.textpad.com/).
look for
else if(sType=="avnext" (line 806 on my whtbar.js)
just below should be
var svTitle="Next Topic"; (line 808); this is what needs to
be edited—whatever's in the double quotes. the same with the
var svTitle line after
else if(sType=="avnprev").
good luck, my friend.

HT1338 There's no place on my homepage to put a web address. Also my forward & backward buttons are missing, how can I retreive these? I called my on-line provider & they told me I'd have to contact Apple.

On my hompage, there isn't any place to put a web address. Also the forward & back buttons are missing.

I'm running 10.8 and Safari 6.0.2 so this might not apply to you exactly but, in that setup: in View on the menu bar is a setting for Show Toolbar. If it says "Hide Toolbar" then the toolbar is showing. If it says "Show Toolbar", it is not showing (so click on that and it will make the toolbar appear). If only certain pieces of the toolbar are missing, use View/Customize Toolbar.

I don't have the Firefox button feature on my browser. The one above the back button.Why not?

I've downloaded Firefox 4 on both hard drives and the Firefox button feature that is suppose to be located above the back button is not there on either browsers! This feature is mentioned first on the "Getting Started" tutorial and I'd like to have it. How do I get it to appear?

Usually you have either the orange Firefox button or the classic menu bar, but not both at the same time.
You should be able to switch back and forth this way:
If the classic menu bar is not displayed, tap the Alt key to display it and then use
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
to make it persistent. It should replace the orange Firefox button. To switch back, uncheck
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
Does that work??
Also, the Mozilla ActiveX plugin is defunct and should be uninstalled ASAP. It isn't reliable above Firefox 1.5, and may have unpatched security problems. [http://kb.mozillazine.org/ActiveX#Uninstalling_the_ActiveX_plugin_on_Windows How to uninstall].

Help Please - Buttons are not displayed in some platforms/browsers

I've designed my website using flash 8 and I've just noticed
that the buttons aren't being displayed on all browser/platforms.
It works fine on the majority of them but I just went to a couple
of places and accessed my page and the buttons are not shown at
all. Anyone knows why it works in some platforms and not in others?
What can I do to fix this problem?

Hi
This is not my exact program, that has a large no: of code. So I am putting here a sample one. One thing I would like to point out is that , I can see the buttons at the time of loading the applet and suddenly it vanishes and the image is drawn. Then if I move the mouse along the position of these buttons , they got displayed.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
/*<applet code = MyClass width = 500 height = 500>
</applet>
public class MyClass extends JApplet
Image img;
JButton b1,b2;
Container cp;
Canvas1 cv;
class Canvas1 extends JPanel
public void paint(Graphics g)
super.paint(g);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.fillRect(0,0,500,500);
img = getImage(getCodeBase(),"image1.jpeg");
g.drawImage(img,20,20,this);
public void start()
cv = new Canvas1();
cv.setBounds(0,0,500,500);
cp.add(cv);
public void init()
setLayout(null);
cp = getContentPane();
b1 = new JButton("Button1");
b1.setBounds(1,1,100,30);
cp.add(b1);
b2 = new JButton("Button2");
b2.setBounds(200,1,100,30);
cp.add(b2);
It would be very helpful to me if you could fix the problem.
Thank You.

* If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the missing item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window onto one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

The forward, back, refresh, and stop buttons are not working. Even after installing the latest version. Anyone else having this issue?

The forward, back, refresh, and stop buttons are not working. Even after installing the latest Firefox update. Also my home page stopped loading upon startup even tho I have it setup to do so. Anyone else experiencing these issues? This is my second request for help and of course, Firefox on-line support is always closed.

Those are all symptoms of a problem with the places.sqlite file, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

Put back the drop down bar for the forward/back buttons.

There was a little bar next to the forward/back buttons that allowed you to see where you been and go back or forward a few pages when you need to. I WANT THAT BAR BACK! I am sick and tired of going through this every time firefox updates. ALSO, I've lost my personas (not that it really matters since you got rid of all the space the pictures were in), and I would like them back. I really wish you people would STOP fixing things that aren't broke and giving me so much grief trying to make it look like it and act like it did before.

Cor-el, you rock! Brought back all the personas/themes that I lost. Now I just have to work on widening the area so I can see the pictures. :)

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

Address/Location bar, forward-back buttons are not shown
