Back button no longer works in either ver 4 or 5 !!!! help

the back button does not respond since I uploaded ver 4 of fire fox....I found no help with issue, but then saw ver 5 was avail for download. Currently running ver 5....and the back button on the browser still does not work. I am also using tuneup utillities 2011 now and that is the only change I have made at about the same time I had loaded firefox ver 4...can anyone help me troubleshoot as this issue really makes me just not use the internet anymore

  • Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs

    Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs. Not just that memory of previous URLs got wiped out, it still doesn't remember the ones I've typed in since I updated. And No back button, it's really hard to use.
    I went thru all the settings and could not find a way to fix this problem. What is up? I've never had this happen in any version of IE, FF, or Chrome.
    Can I get back previous version? Until then, it's Chrome and IE for me.
    I'll be happy to delete any plug-ins if it will make this problem go away.
    THANKS in advance!

    Thanks. This didn't solve te problem but it seemed to have solved itself. all of a sudden it started working properly, without me even closing FF and starting it up again. Thanks Cor-el, if it happens again I'll try your solution.

  • The back button no longer works. I have disabled all add-ons, rebooted & reset the defaults for the browser and nothing has changed. This happens on all webpages.How do I get the back button to light up again?

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

  • Back button no longer works in some specific situations; also, it appears that clearing cache isn't working.

    The "back" button no longer works in certain specific situations on certain specific websites -- especially on the very website on which I need to use it very frequently. This has been going on for a couple of weeks.
    Also, I noticed today that the "clear cache now" command doesn't seem to be working. Formerly, when I cleared the cache, I had to re-login to those websites that normally "remember" my login (because clearing the cache erased that "memory") -- but today, after using the "clear cache now" command, those websites still "remember" my login, which leads me to believe the cache didn't get cleared. Is there any other way to check whether it got cleared?
    I was attempting to clear the cache in the faint hope that this might help the above "back" button problem, as no one has yet given me a solution for this that has worked. One person suggested having Firefox re-create the possibly damaged "places.sqlite" and "places.sqlite-journal" files. I tried this, but there was no change to the problem.
    I think this problem started around the time I had a few Firefox crashes while using YouTube and doing something else on the computer at the same time.
    I just today learned about the "crash signature" -- how to look it up, and to include it in a forum question. However, the crash log did not show these recent crashes, only some others from a few months ago. So, I'm unable to show the crash signature for this.
    I'm guessing there's a chance that upgrading to a newer version of Firefox might fix this problem -- but I hesitate to do that, because it occurs to me that it also may be possible that changing the program before fixing this might make it harder to fix. I don't have enough knowledge of this software to know which is more likely, and I don't like to try things at random, in ignorance of the possible results. Also, after reading today several other forum comments from people who are unhappy with their Firefox upgrades, I hesitate to upgrade for that reason, also.

    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.

  • Updated to 3.0 - sluggish responses and "back" button no longer working?

    Hi all, first post - I'd like to know if others are having similar experiences after upgrading to 3.0 on a 2nd gen ipod touch.
    First off, when playing music, the "back" button always used to take me back to the previous song if the current song had only just started. However, now when I press "back", I get a random song, just like pressing "forward" in shuffle mode - so I cannot go back to re-rate a song for example. I want my "back" button back!
    Second, does anyone else find the responses to the "forward" and "back" buttons slow? There's like a half-second delay while the ipod "thinks" about performing the action, and before the screen updates (scrolls to the next album cover or details screen).
    Hoping there will be an official update ASAP to address these issues!

    Anytime you have problems like this, you should go through this routine:
    1. Restart your iPod - Hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the red slider - turn it off. To turn it back on, use the Sleep/Wake button and you will see an Apple icon as it restarts.
    2. Reset your iPod - Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home buttons down together until you see an Apple logo (takes about 10 seconds). Let your iPod restart.
    3. And finally, if those don't work for you, restore your iPod in iTunes. Everything will be wiped off and reloaded - and no, you won't lose anything.
    BTW, broken WiFi seems to be a very individual problem and there appear to be some work arounds. Battery life doesn't seem to be a general issue but again, an individual problem.

  • Firefox url goes grey, and back button no longer works.

    Ok so most annoying problem EVER!! Ok so I have this problem where I will be running firefox, browsing the net, and then all of the sudden the url bar will grey out and only the domain root will be solid.
    Once it does this, I cannot use the back button, in fact from there on out, many url's will not even show up in the navigation.
    The browser works just fine then out of nowhere will start pulling this.
    An example would be
    [http://www.cnatrainingcertificationclasses.com http://www.cnatrainingcertificationclasses.com]/topics-you-can-expect-in-your-cna-classes/275/ , and then the end would be grayed out. Soooo maddening
    I also am running a few addons, but I need all of these addons what can I do?

  • Installed Maverick - smart art no longer working on either Word or Excel Need Help

    Your issue seems to be only with those two apps, first check to see if they are up-to-date and if you still have issues please post in the Office for Mac Product Forums

  • My back button no longer works, all of my bookmarks have disappeared and I cannot add new ones, and all of my history has disappeared.

    I have looked at prior questions, many of which look similar, but none of which are exactly the same. I tried to restore my bookmarks to those available on a prior date, and got an error message saying "unable to process the backup file."

    Figured it out! I deleted the places.sqlite folder by dragging it into the trash, then rebooted. I lost all my existing bookmarks, but that was no big deal.
    To find the places.sqlite folder, go to Help, Troubleshooting Information, click on "show in finder" (under application basics), and the folder is in there. I was very nervous about deleting anything, but Firefox just regenerates the folder when you reboot.

  • Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?

    Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...

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

  • Mouse back/forward buttons no longer work in v29

    firefox 29
    windows 8.1 update (1) - IE all M$ updates installed
    logitech M570 mouse
    my mouse back and forward buttons no longer work in v29. i tried FF safe mode, i tried with logitech setpoint 6.5 enabled and disabled, resetting setpoint. i don't want to "reset firefox" because i just did a fresh windows install and fresh firefox 28 install before upgrading to FF29 a few days later.....
    BTW the back/forward buttons work in all other installed programs as well as FF28 in my windows 7 machine.
    thanks in advance for any replies....

    apologies for another reply. also, the back/forward icons (to the left of the URL area) work just fine. it's only the mouse buttons that don't work and after years of using them, i REALLY miss them!
    thanks

  • After upgrading to FF4, my back, forward, buttons no longer work

    After I upgraded to FF4, my back, forward, and refresh buttons no longer work. I have tried restarting with Addons disabled, still an issue. Even the Alt-back arrow does not work. As well, the URLs no longer appear in the address box when I use Most Visited shortcuts.

    duh, I thought that I had disabled all the addons, but I hadn't. The culprit turned out to be: Favicon Picker 2 0.6.1.14.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/favicon-picker-2/
    After disabling this add-on, everything went back to normal.

  • My Droid DNA's home, back, and app buttons no longer work or react when pressed. This happened randomly when I was using the phone Saturday afternoon and have since no longer worked. Can anything be done?

    This is the second major problem I have had with this phone (first was the SIM card issue where I had no service because the software of the phone wouldn't read the SIM card, has been fixed by an update I downloaded in December).
    I really would like to know what my options are, and if I am eligible to get a new phone. This has been by far the worst phone I have ever experienced and am disappointed that I am forced into a two year contract with a phone that has consistently failed me. I am a college kid who is going through job/phone interviews and it is very important that I can rely on my personal phone.

        callahan.214,
    If the home and back buttons are not working it has to be difficult to use the phone. Let's get that device working. Back up your phone and complete a reset: http://vz.to/1uBz20R . Before installing any applications test out the phone for a day to ensure it is working properly. Let us know how it is working.

  • 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.
