Back Button - Why does it go back a FRAME (framed pages) instead a PAGE ?

In a "framed" site, the Back button causes the display going back one frame, following back goes back another frame, 3 framed page needs 3 backs to finally beeing back on previous page. Why ? Error in page setup or in handling of FF?

This is clearly a heavy bug in FF4, and now also continued in FF5.
The typical "main" window on the right side, within a frameset, is not going back when using the Back function, when this window is targeted from any JavaScript in the menu in the window on the left (or top) side.
If a "main" window is targeted instead by plain HTML, or out of an Applet, the back function in FF4 and FF5 behave correctly.
This bug can be verified by querying anything from a site like
http://www2.rgzm.de/navis2/home/FramesE.cfm
All websites using JavaScript based frameworks this way won't work correctly anymore in FF4 and FF5.
Thus, when the menu in a left frame is JavaScript driven, FF4 and FF5 don't now about its history anymore. This worked in FF3 and it is perfectly working in all other browsers. This serious bug will force users of any JavaScript based menu in a website to switch to one of these other browsers.
Its not clear to me whether the JavaScript engine does something wrong, or whether FF4 and FF5 itself are not keeping track correctly. What is clear, however, that this basci functionality was broken somewhere between FF3 and FF4.

    you could always try turning the phone off and starting the backup over again. If it's still happening, it's possible that it's related to the network you're in

    Probably a glitch in Safari.
    Quit Safari - double tap the Home button to reveal the multi-tasking window at the bottom. Swipe sideqays until you see the Safari icon. Tpa-and-hold until the red circle/hwite bar appears, then tap that to close Safari. You might do that with all the icons to be sure.
    Tap the Home button to close multi-tasking.
    Restart the device (hold Home and Sleep for around 10 seconds untl the Apple logo appears).
    Fingers crosed, that'll fix it

    Because the owners of the songs have not licensed them for sale in the U.S.
    Apple doesn't have any say in the matter. it's up to the owner of the distribution rights for the music.

  • FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7.

    FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7. Can anyone suggest a solution please.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == yesterday for no apparent reason.

    I had this problem once before, And now again.
    The only thing I did different, was Instead of shutting down my computer, I click on Log off User.
    Ever since then I have noticed windows XP is taking longer to load, and so is Firefox.
    Hope this clue helps.

  • 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].

  • When I push play, why does it play back all tracks instead of whats in the arrangement view?

    Why does it play the track even when there aren't any files in the arrangement view?

    It sounds as though "something" has become corrupted. This can be the result of an add-on, or it might be that reinstalling Firefox will help. Here are some diagnostic suggestions:
    First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
    Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
    [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
    Does that fix it? If not, try creating a new (blank) profile: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
    If the new profile works, then you either can work to track down the problem with your old profile, or move key settings like bookmarks from your damaged profile to the new profile, see: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does firefox switch back to bookmarks after I am on a web page ?

    This happens every time I go from selecting a bookmark to that page. It just annoying enough for me to yank my hair out, if i had any. Thanks, Max

    I have two antivirus programs on my computer. The default windows thing and MalwareBytes (which I perform a full scan with everyday) and I still have the problem.
    Hate to be a "problem child" but could anyone post an answer to this problem that isn't something that is obvious that should be done like resetting firefox or check for a virus or mess with the tabs options which I have tried every combination of the options that could be tried.
    I mean does anyone else anywhere have this same problem? What I don't understand is that I posted this question two days ago and it doesn't look like anyone else has asked for help with this same issue.
    What I really don't understand is why I can't find out anything doing an internet search using "why does Firefox keep returning to the webpage i am currently on when i open a new webpage" and so far no one has suggested something I have already tried.
    If Mozilla had some kind of phone number or email contact info then I could probably get this whole thing solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why does time machine back up when no new files have been added?

    I run time machine manually and even after having just back up, it says it is backing up 50mb of something.  Nothing has been added or taken away.  It just keeps adding and using up disk space.

    System files are constantly changing, TM backs the whole machine up not just the files you are working on,
    And 55mb is small change

  • Back button doesn't work due to multiple history entries for the current page. How can I fix this problem?

    This problem started February 2015. I have noticed it mostly while searching ebay. When I hit the back button it did not work. I right clicked the back button and found at least 2 and sometimes up to a dozen duplicate history entries for the current page I am on, meaning I would have to click the back button a dozen times to get to the previous page. I am using Firefox 35.0.1 on a Vista computer. I have not found any fix for the problem after searching the internet for hours. I have seen similar issues with people using IE and some say the duplicate entries are caused by banner ads but still no one has provided a good answer or fix for the problem. Please help.

    I will leave further answers to users of ebay. Script or adblockers may ease the problem.

    If you do not see any menus or toolbars, Firefox might be in full screen mode. The F11 function key switches between regular and full screen modes.
    Make sure your Navigation Toolbar (main bar with URL area and back button) is turned on using either of these:
    * right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Navigation Toolbar
    * tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Navigation Toolbar
    If the Navigation Toolbar is visible but some controls are missing, try resetting your toolbars as follows:
    * right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Customize
    * tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Customize
    In the Customize dialog, click the Restore Default Set button.
    Any luck?
