Back arrow not working in Firefox 8

Why does the back arrow not take back to the previous screen as it did before I downloaded Firefox 8?
Have found no guidance on this problem despite searching.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Back Button not working in FireFox 4

Is anyone else having trouble with the back and forward buttons not working in FireFox 4? I installed 4 on an XP desktop and a Vista 64 laptop, and the forward and back buttons don't work on either installation. Does anyone know a fix for this? I tried deleting the "places" files in the profile and that does not help.

I am having a problem with the back button also in Firefox 4. Firefox forgets the 1st page in any new session or tab. If I open a tab to say bbc.com and navigate to guardian.com I can't click the back button to get back to bbc.com.

Back arrow not working in Safari

After a recent Maverick update, the 'back' arrow in Safari mostly will not work. I have to go to 'Home' and start all over in my searches. Very frustrating and a major waste of time. Can anyone suggest what to do to fix this so I can use the back arrow each time I need to? Thanks much.

Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Our online paychex will not work with Firefox 4. I need to go back to Firefox 3

We use Paychex online pay service. Their program is not working with Firefox 4; they say they can work with firefox 3

Thanks for your help. I purchased the snow leopard and am trying to install it but I keep getting the following message: "There was a problem reading the MAC OS X Install DVD. Carefully clean the disc and try installing again." So this disc went from the box to my computer... should not need to be cleaned, right? But I've tried cleaning and installing again - multiple times and I keep getting the same message. Please, please help. Thanks

RealPlayer download feature not working in Firefox (but works in IE)

Realplayer download feature (cursor over a youtube video, "download this video" pops up) has recently quit working for me (I've been using it for months). I've searched knowledge bases and forums extensively and tried all the suggestions., such as rolling back from Flash Player 11.5 to 10.3 (no luck), disabling/enabling RealPlayer Download plugin in Firefox (no luck), etc. The one suggestion I'd like to try but can't is going into RealPlayer preferences and enabling/disabling the "Download and Record" function. I can't because all I have in my preferences is "Recording" and the options have nothing to do with downloading. None of the RealNetworks/RealPlayer support sites are helpful at all...
However, the download feature works just fine in Internet Explorer

Realplayer download does not work in Firefox. Someone suggested ant.com as an add-on. That works.
For youtube I use YTD downloader (a youtube product). It is more reliable for youtube videos.

Flash Player 11.3.300.262 Not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.

*Flash Player 11.3.300.262 is not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.*
Millions of people got off work & turned on there computers recently to discover that Firefox is not playing any videos or flash content. Just like me, millions of people are randomly searching the internet in a futile & frustrating attempt at answers. Unfortunately, many of those people will simply stop using firefox & deem it a glitchy, unreliable browser.
This happened to me a couple days ago. I started up my computer & got a pop-up from Adobe saying that I need to update my flash player to 11.3.300.262. I've always thought of adobe as being a reliable software company, so I clicked on it with confidence that things will be working even smoother. To my horror, I relalized that right after the update, my main browser, firefox was destroyed. Then I went on the frustrating process of uninstalling, re-installing, running virus scan, researching the internet like a lost child. I said to myself, "that's why I hate updating stuff, because updates always seem to change stuff you don't want it to change & there always seems to be a problem with the updates." I usualy update software months after it releases, because microsoft & all the other software companies always seem not to test there stuff properly before releasing them. Then we have to look at a glitchy computer until the next update fixes it. Well, that is my rant. Now let me discuss the problem I found.
Problem:
What I did was, go into my firefox extentions menu & I disabled the 11.3.300.262 & I re-enabled the previous flash player. After that, everything worked perfect again. Then a today (a week later), I turned on my computer & my firefox wasn't playing any videos or flash content again. I went into my firefox extenions menu again, & I discovered that my old flash player had been deleted, & this new glitchy 11.3.300.262 had been enabled. Why did adobe feel the need to into my computer & automaticly delete & update my flash player. Now it doesn't work. THIS IS REALY FRUSTRATING!
The Issue I discovered:
"RealPlayer" is the most popular video program & it is installed on millions of computers. For some strange reason Firefox does not want its users to use Real Player. Specifically the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2. I also discovered that my Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2 was automatically disabled when the Adobe 11.3.300.262 was automatically updated also.
- Maybe this could be because of some copyright conspiracy to keep people from downloading videos from the web.
- Maybe firefox wants people to use there download add-on instead of RealPlayers downloader.
I don't know what ther reason is. But what I do know is Nobody is going to delete there RealPlayer from there computer just to use FireFox. We can simply use Chrome or Internet explorer. I took the advise from Adobe & disabled the FireFox RealPlayer Extention. I also went into my RealPlayer preferences options, But there was no option to disable download recording from FireFox. BECAUSE I ALREADY DISABLED THE ADD-ON in FireFoxes menu.
Solution:
Step 1: Adobe needs to update all the computers with the previous flash player. That way we can choose to enable the previous flash player in our FireFox. or wait until a new update fixes the problem with firefox.
Step 2: Adobe & FireFox need to get together & go back to the drawing board. They need to create a update that actually works on computers that have Real Player installed on them. I don't care which company does the update. All I care about is if it works. Thank You.
Oh yea, Im running FireFox 13.0.1, Windows 7, HP computer, Real Player is up to date.

Hey Chris,
I was able to duplicate this issue on my Windows 7 laptop as follows:
     1) Completely uninstall FlashPlayer (using your tool) as well as Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Maintenance Service (used Windows 7 - uninstall from Control Panel). Please note that I checked the box that said "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" to ensure that Firefox was completely gone from my laptop.
     2) I then went out to the Firefox website and downloaded the "Firefox Setup 13.0.1.exe" app to my laptop. I ran this app to install Firefox.
     3) I then went to the following website http://www.ishmael.org.uk/karaoke02.php as I know that this URL uses Flash Player (obviously you can go to any URL that uses Flash Player - I'm just letting you know which one I used). I then clicked on the icon on this page to install Flash Player.
Once the install was completed, the URL stops responding and appears to be locked up (although it will occassionally hiccup and display portions of the page and then lock up again). You will eventually get a pop-up notice from Firefox that has the header "Warning: Unresponsive script" and says the following:
     A script on this page may be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to to see of the script will complete. Script: chrome://browser/content/browser.js:6551
Selecting "Stop script" will get Firefox working until you hit another page that uses Flash Player.
To ensure that the above URL is not the culprit, I used one from your website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html and had the same results.
Hope this info helps!
Jeff
NOTE: As a reminder, I do not have RealPlayer installed on my laptop (and never have had it installed)

The "a name" html tag does not work in Firefox.

The tag works in all versions of Internet Explorer, but does not work in Firefox versions 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12.

I haven't noticed any problems on most pages, but I have read about a problem where a script changes the length of the page content after loading (e.g., by collapsing content under headings, done on some FAQ or glossary pages).
For example, this should position the browser at the Reset Printer section:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer
A standard diagnostic step is to try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether an odd behavior is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If links work correctly in Safe Mode, that usually points to an add-on or custom setting as the problem.
Let us know whether that makes any difference.

Battlelog (for battlefield 3) does not work with Firefox 15.0.1. It works fine with the older Firefox 14.0.1

The flash features on the Battlefield 3 site - battlelog.battlefield.com do not work when Firefox updates itself to 15.0.1 It does not load the pages correctly or does it let you select/ click on anything in the flash parts. When I uninstalled 15.0.1 and reinstalled Firefox 14.0.1 I unchecked the option to let firefox re-upgrade itself and battlelog works fine.

I do not wish you to break Firefox on Battelfield 3, but have you tried using the latest version of Flash Player. You should also remember that using outdated versions of Firefox increases security risks to your computer and personal data.
You may get an answer to this sort of question faster by asking on a forum related to that game site, (and if you do please post back with the solution preferably with a link).
Possibly you could consider using Firefox 15 and later as the day to day browser, and Firefox 14 only for the problem games.
*The simplest way to do that may be to install Firefox portable (I assume that will run a Firefox 14 version)
* A better way would be to install multiple versions of Firefox. That is often considered advanced, but I imagine most experienced computer users could do it easily (I can provide links to instructions). That has the advantage that the problem could be looked at a bit more closely, possibly even filing a bug if it appears to be a Firefox regression causing the problem.

Strobe Media Playback 1.6.328 not working in Firefox

Hi All,
latest version of SMP 1.6.328 works fine in Chrome, Safari & Explorer however in Firefox the player does not appear.
I am re-skinning the player via xml and using RTMP dynamic video stream source via f4m file.
All browsers are upto date and all have the latest Flashplayer versions installed.
If I fall back to SMP version 1.6.274 everything works fine!
Another thing I found was that the advertisment demo did not work when using Flashplayer 11 although again, it does when using an older version.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
NorfolkSignman

@font-face not working in firefox

My @font-face is not working in firefox why would that be?
@font-face {
    font-family:LondonMM;
    src: url('LondonMM-webfont.eot');
    src: url('LondonMM-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('LondonMM-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
         url('LondonMM-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('LondonMM-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('LondonMM-webfont.svg#londonmmregular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
I have them all in a fonts folder inside my root folder

There might be a problem with one of the fonts FF recognizes and that problematic file is the one FF is attempting to use.
Try commenting out all of the fonts FF can use, so...
@font-face {
    font-family:LondonMM;
    src: url('LondonMM-webfont.eot');
    src: url('LondonMM-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        /*url('LondonMM-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),*/
        /*url('LondonMM-webfont.woff') format('woff'),*/
        /*url('LondonMM-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),*/
         url('LondonMM-webfont.svg#londonmmregular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
Then restore one at a time, individually, and see if FF comes back on line.

MozCancelFullScreen() not working and firefox not exiting fullscreen even though this function was called on document

I have a container which gets into full screen mode using mozRequestFullScreen() API but I want to get back to non-fullscreen mode after one of my custom event is fired.
As soon as my custom event is fired, I call mozCancelFullScreen() API to exit full screen but this seems to be not working. Firefox is not exiting fullscreen even though this function was called on document.
I have to press "Esc" to get into non-fullscreen mode.
I am uding Firefox 21.0 version.

Adobe flashplayer not working with firefox

I have downloaded the latest adobe flashplayer plugin but it is not working with Firefox. It does work on Internet Explorer.

I'm running Vista 64 bit and the current version of Flash (11. whatever) doesn't apparently work with Vista 64 bit - why, I'm not sure but this is what happens when one company dominates the market like Adobe. Anyway, I have the 10. whatever version installed now and Flash is working in Chrome and in IE. This problem occurred because I updated Firefox to version 8, after which Flash was still working with the old version installed. THEN I got the annoyingly repetitive reminder from Adobe to update Flash to 11 and finally succumbed. After updating Flash, I could no longer get sound from any online videos. So I uninstalled, found a 10. version of Flash and figured that would solve the problem since Firefox 8 WAS working before using the 10. version. Not to be. Now I can't get it to work at all. And to tell you the truth I like the old interface of Firefox 7 much better anyway. SO... how do I get 7 back and hopefully resolve this problem so that I don't have to make IE my new browser - which I'm not too crazy to do since I've been using Firefox from day 1...
