  • Safari "back" button gone

    Anybody else have this happen? In the upper left corner of my Safari (2.0.4) page, where there used to be a "back" button (black triangle), I now have a "refresh" button (half-circle).
    I can still go back a page by using CMD-[ but I want my button back!
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi,
    There are 2 ways to restore it.
    - Quit Safari, trash the Safari preferences file at /Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist and then restart Safari
    or
    - Right-click (or control+click if using a single button mouse) on the toobar area and choose 'Customize Toolbar...' - from the dropdown that appears you can re-add the missing buttons.
    Hope that helps.

  • I was messing with the computer, not sure what i hit but now all my toolbars at the top of the screen are gone? (file, edit, history, tools and my forward and back button). Please help me get these settings back to the way they were?

    My file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, and help buttons at the top of the screen are gone, along with my forward and back button.

    For details of how to restore it, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing
    Once the menu bar is restored, you can use the Toolbars entry in the View menu to restore other toolbars such as the navigation toolbar.

  • My Firefox browser is gone! My opening page is Yahoo but there is no browser for firefox, not even a 'back' button. What happened?

    I am not sure how it happened but my browser is gone. I have just my Yahoo page (home page). I cannot type in a website address. Not even a back button.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"

  • The toolbar which has the go back button, refresh button, etc. is gone. How do I get it back?

    The tool bar which has the url of the page I am on, go back button, refresh button, etc. is gone. How do I get it back?
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == a couple weeks ago.

    The toolbar which has the view button is also missing.

  • On the back button is the little drop down arrow completely gone, or is there a way I can I get it back. With the new Firefox I have to keep hitting back over and over again?

    Is the back button drop down arrow replaced by the little arrow next to the star on the bar?
    Maybe it didn't install correctly, I have Windows XP if that makes a difference. I know from the tour when the new one loaded there is supposed to be a bookmarks thing next to the new location for home but it's not on there either. It's still on my toolbar so I don't care enough to fix it so there is no need for anyone to address it, I just put the info in case it tells you something about it not installing properly.
    Sorry, it's not easy for older people to keep up with all the daily website changes, adding browser changes adds to the confusion. I hope my head doesn't explode one day. Thank you for the help.

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
    If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

  • Ability to see multiple previous pages by dropdown next to Back button seems to have gone

    Since the recent update, I seem to have lost the little down arrow next to the Back button to enable me to jump to, say, 4 pages before the current one.
    Can I bring it back or has it disappeared for good?
    Thank you for any replies

    You're welcome.

  • All of a sudden it seems firefox has forgotten where it is all the time. All my bookmarks and rss feeds are gone and a lot of times it forgets my saved usernames and passwords. The back button has ceased functioning as well.

    It just started out of the blue, its like it just forgot everything I've done since I downloaded it years ago. Plus the back button doesn't work anymore. It's like it has constant amnesia.

    Sounds that some SQLite database files are corrupted.
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
    You can also try to repair the places database with this extension:
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.<br />

  • When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

    After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
    The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
    Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

    I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

  • Since the latest upgrade, my bookmarks have been wiped out, not funtioning nor is my back button or History function working. There was a message after following links provided that said this couldn't be fixed. Seems incredible.

    I don't know what the update was called. I always trust them. Yet after I opened Firefox, I could not use my bookmarks since they were gone. The back button nor the History feature no longer works either. I followed the prompts and the diagnostic said there wasn't anything that could be done with this version.
    I am not a computer wiz. This kind of diagnostic/troubleshooting gives me the willies. If I can remove firefox and then reinstall with another version. I don't mind building up my HUGE data base of bookmarks again. Yet if there is no way to have bookmarks for my Master's research, then I must switch browsers.

    Thanks Tony for your link. Unfortunately I do not have the capacity to deal with the greek that page reads to me. Is there any way someone out there can walk me step by step on how to even start? I have no idea where any of those files can be found or what is required once I get there.
    There must be a place for luddites like me to get help? Do I go to an apple store? Hire a techie? Why should I have to fork out money to work a free browser. I do have an extensive library of bookmarks with all the internet research I have done, and would consider paying someone to help me restore this. sqlite file.
    I am really upset that Firefox doesn't supply an operator to help folks like me since this problem developed with their stinking upgrade. How can I trust future upgrades from now on? Who would a contact person be that I could share how absolutely frustrating and unfair this experiment is for the less technical population. I think there must be more people like me that this happened to and they probably just switched browsers.
    FIREFOX, your mission states you want to be user friendly and of service to the people, that your a non-profit organization here to help navigate the web. Your upgrade has just diminished the quality of that experience by more than half of my previous effectiveness. PLEASE help me resolve this problem beyond just sending me to a page in your lexicon of solutions. I go to the chat room and it's been closed every time. I would like an email address of a customer service rep. but haven't found that either.
    Anyone know how to get through to a real person in this company? +Diana

  • Had problem with bookmarks, history, back button and google links not working.

    For the last five days i've had problems with firefox. First, i noticed that it was running incredibly slowly and then that all the links in the google search were not working. Then i noticed that neither was the history, bookmarks or back button. I went on to facebook chat to ask for help. First, I was told to reinstall firefox, which didn't work. Then i was told to do a "clean" install where you rename the old firefox folder in the programs folder so that it makes sure when it's installed that everything is new and nothing is corrupted. That didn't work either. I then disabled my antivirus software and firewall to see if that was causing the problem. It was not. Then I installed an anti-malware program to remove any adware or spywar,e which it did remove from my computer, but it didn't solve the problem. The chat person was at a loss and I don't blame him/her because so was I.
    The reason I'm writing this is in case anyone else has the same problem. The only way I solved it was first by uninstalling and making sure to check the little box asking if you want all personal data and such associated with firefox also removed (which removes cookies as well) and then I finally thought to delete all the cookies from the rest of my computer also. Once all the cookies were gone and i had fully uninstalled firefox and personal data, I reinstalled it with a newly downloaded file and it is once again functioning properly. Hope this is helpful to anyone who's been ripping their hair out. :)

    But in my case, not just Google links.
    The problem happens with all the websites links.

  • Some of the time the back button is greyed out when i have clicked on a new link. It's not a new window or tab, and the page I came from is not even in my history!

    At first I thought I had unknowingly gone to a new tab or window, but that's not it. I haven't ruled out that I have completely lost my mind, but I'm really hoping that's not the problem, although with win 7 that seems more and more likely all the time. It seems to happen at random. I tired holding down or right clicking the back button but there is nothing. The fact that the page I came from is gone from the history seems really strange.
    Sorry for the duplicate post, see this topic: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/807937

    This issue can be caused by the McAfee SiteAdvisor extension.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons 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.

  • Trouble with back button in Safari, always resets to top of page.

    I am running Safari 6.0.5 on a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.5
    The problem that I am having is that every time I use the back button to my previous page it always takes me to the top of my previous page. All of my other Macs running Safari always take me to the point in the page I left from. It is a real headache to always have to search for where I was on my last page. I have gone through every preference I can think of that would be relevant and updated several versions of Safari with no change. This issuse is only on my laptop
    Anyone that has had this issue I would appreciate the help.

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Problem with back button in jsp

    when i click on back link what ever the contents the registerform is cleared.i mean whatever the user input the values in the text fields etc everything has gone.user has to retype whole text again.
    so where i am wrong.
    any help

    You can definetly do this globaly on all browsers not looking at the settings by creating a small user bean. Just have a class User with getter and setter methods for main fields, or fields that you need to show in the back button. Then put that class in your WEB-INF classes dir.
    Create a JSP as the page before where you are trying to validate a user. Use jsp tags. <jsp:Bean var="user" class="myPackage.User" scope="session"> In form input fields do the following.
    <input name="first" value="<%=user.getFirst()%>">
    Now everytime this page will be called that field will be populated
    Hope this helps

  • Started firefox today and for some reason all the bars are missing which includes the bookmark button, back button, really everything...I have tried for hours to get them back and even did a restore to my system, no help...how do I get them back

    all the bars at the top of the page have gone missing including the back button, everything...how can I restore them?

    '''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
    Press ALT V T M (CTRL V T M on Macs) on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6) You can also restore the menu bar by pressing Alt and going to View | Toolbars | Menu bar
    '''Navigation Toolbar'''
    Press Alt V T N (CTRL V T N on Macs) on your keyboard.
    '''Other toolbars'''
    View | Toolbars | Select the desired Toolbar
    '''Other steps to try'''
    Try restoring the default set by going to View | Toolbars | Customize | Restore Default Set. This will put the toolbars back in the default place. This would be a good idea if you are missing specific icons on the Navigation Toolbar
    '''Safe Mode'''
    You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
    Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.
