Back Button is not functional on many sites after clicking a link there, particularly on new aggregation sites. What gives?

Seems to be happening on news aggregation sites.
Will click a link to a story, read the story, and then will be unable to link back to the the prior page using the Back Button.
Happens on some sites and not on others.

I don't know for sure as I'm having some trouble with this Restorer addon myself, but I think you can't get the orange button to appear as it has at the left of the internet address field. I guess the Restorer addon took this feature off.
I don't know why that when ever there's a FF upgrade, more things that are working no longer work. Why they mess with functions we have gotten used to using, I wish I knew. I wish they would stop - I'm ready to not get any more upgrades - who know what will get messed up next???
You might want to go to the Restorer addon webpage and ask the question of the developers.

  • Firefox 4 was functioning well until two days ago. Browser will not open to my home page and tool bars do not appear. Was able to find toolbar but "back" button does not work. What changed?

    Firefox now opens to a blank page and the word Firefox appears in upper left hand corner in orange. It, apparently, contains a drop down menu. I can navigate from here but "back" button does not function in any website. How do I get it back to where it was previous to this change?

    You can change this if you don't mind peeking under the covers into Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
    (i) Page thumbnails (default)
    browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
    (ii) Blank tab
    browser.newtab.url = about:blank
    (iii) Built-in Firefox home page
    browser.newtab.url = about:home
    (iv) Any other page
    browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I open a new webpage in a new tab. I then go to a link and the back button does not allow me to go back to the original webpage. Any suggestions?

    I open a new webpage in a new tab. I then go to a link and the back button does not allow me to go back to the original webpage. Any suggestions?

    I don't think you understood the question. I am having the exact same issue. I open a link in a new tab or window, for example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
    When the new tab opens, I click on "reviews" to open the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforedrop/#reviews in the existing tab because I want to see the reviews for this feature. After I read the reviews, I want to go back to the main link, but the back button on my browser is greyed out, as though I was never even on the previous page. So my options are 1) Open every link I ever click on in a new tab or window, or 2) Hope the website is user friendly and attempt to navigate back to the previous page using links inserted on the current page.
    You never realize how frustrating not having back button is until it happens.

  • Password Remember Button does not function; Can't input 3rd Party Passwords for Social Networks/Emails.

    My "Remember" button doesn't work. Simple as that. The "Not Now"
    Button still works, and closes the pop-bar. Remember doesn't do anything.
    [Exception... "'User canceled master password entry, login not added.' when calling method: [nsILoginManagerStorage::addLogin]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsLoginManager.js :: anonymous :: line 445" data: no]
    Occurs when trying to input 3rd Party extension passwords.
    I have no master password set, I have also read the "Password not remembered topic", and it didn't help.
    Error Console yields this:
    "'''Warning: The 'charCode' property of a keyup event should not be used. The value is meaningless.

    Okay, I have started Firefox in Safe Mode, and the Remember button still didn't work. After checking the error console, It had the following message again:
    "Error: uncaught exception: [Exception...

    After I Evaluated it (In the error console) it gave me a slightly different version:

    I read the Troubleshooting extensions & Themes, but It didn't help.
    When I tried to read "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager" I get a page that says:

    Also, this error occurs in ALL 3rd Party extensions. It can't log me into E-Mail accounts, Facebook, Twitter, anything. The error message has a window title of [JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION] if that says anything.

  • Back button is not working properly

    Navigation back is not possible to the first page. the defect was found with firefox 4 beta rc1.
    Open fresh page and open any website. Click on any link which navigates you to new page in the same tab. Back button is not active and coming back to the first page is impossible, however from second page onwards problem does not exists.
    My understanding is the stack holding "back" links is not storing page 0 but all.
    Should be simple enough to fix. It has cost me lot of important links.

    The back button will take you back one page. If you need to go back further than the first page then simply right click on the button.

  • 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.

  • 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].

  • 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.

  • Enter key not functioning pls i need to resume backing,enter key not function another option pls.

    Enter key not functioning pls i need to resume back,enter key not function another option pls hp mini laptop.

    Hello Damyanology,
    If your enter key is not working but you have to use it, you can bring up the on screen keyboard, and that will allow you to use enter.
    Here is a link to open the on screen keyboard.
    Go into device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should reinstall the driver to correct the problem.
    Here is a link to uninstall in device manager.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Back button does not work and homepage does not show on startup

    My back and forward buttons do not work anymore. they just show grey and I can not click on them.
    Also my home page does not show when i start firefox.
    I reinstalled firefox 4 and then went back to firefox 3.6.16 and have the same problem in both versions.
    Not sure what to do anymore
    I just found out that when I open a second window everything works fine in the second window, but it still does not work in the first window.
    When I close both windows the same thing happens. The first window my home page does not show up and the back button does not work, but the second window works normal. Including my home page.

    Yeah, I am having the same problem (with 4.0 and earlier versions). It is really frustrating to say the least. I never thought I'd say this, but I might have to go back to IE if FF is going to be this useless. I noticed that you have to right click (instead of left click like it works in the real world) on the backwards/forwards buttons, and that is no less frustrating since my mouses backwards/forwards buttons no longer work with this new asinine button set up.

  • I need to hard reset a Palm TX but the Power button does not function.

    I need to hard reset my Palm TX but the Power button does not function. Is there any other way to perform the hard reset or otherwise delete all of my data?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Hi,
    PowerBtn from the Canuck Software HomePage.
    NOTE: This is Not a Blazer friendly download and only for downloading using a Chunky Computer thingie.
    http://www.canuck-software.ca/
    PowerBtn will allow you to set a HardButton to turn the TX on and off in the same fashion as the PowerButton, if you want.
    This setting will remain active while 'Enable' on the PowerBtn screen is active.
    The user can select 'Disable' on the PowerBtn screen.
    The setting will survive a Soft Reset. (Hi PG )
    If the Palm PowerButton fails completely then you will not be able to do a Hard Reset.
    The PowerBtn app has a 'Hard Reset button' which you tap and after a time countdown (you can cancel in this time) it will perform a Hard Reset. This is the same as the Hard Reset app mentioned above.
    The 'Enable' and 'Disable' mentioned above do not affect the 'Hard Reset button'
    NOTE: PowerBtn also has a 'Program itself becomes power button' feature but I do NOT recommend you use this.
    If you enable this you will not be able to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' because when you Tap on the PowerBtn Icon the TX will turn Off. The only way to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' would be to Delete PowerBtn then install again.
    You can also turn your TX On by pushing the 5WayNav Select (middle button) to bring up the clock then double push it. The TX will stay on at the same place it was in when you turned it off, in the same way it would if you used the Power Button
    All the best, woz of oz
