Can't go back to a Google search

Every time I click on a link to a Google search, once I've visited the page, I can't then return to my Google search. Does anyone know why, and how I can fix it? Thank you.

Does anyone know why, and how I can fix it? Thank you.
Yes. You have several options. The easiest one IMO is using Google's Open result links in a new window which by Tab Settings can be converted to Open result links in a new tab. Then to "go back" all you need to do is close
that tab (e.g. press Ctrl-w) or switch tabs (e.g. press Ctrl-Shift-Tab). Alternatively, you can right-click the Back button and skip the item which would redirect you back to the page that you are trying to leave. Similarly, you could use
the View, Go... menu command to achieve the same result using just your keyboard (Alt-V G, CursorUp, CursorUp, Enter for example). Or if you know where you "came from" and you have the History by Order Visited Today showing you could just
click on that item.

Can't go back to original Google search page in Safari 5.0.2 update

A couple of days ago updated Safari to 5.0.2. I used to do a Google search, advance thru a few pages, on a link, and then click the "return" arrow in the Google box, top right, and would be returned to my "original" search page. In the Safari 5.0.2, the "return arrow" isn't there anymore. Where is it?? Very annoying, requiring more entries now to get back to my "original" search. Did Apple remove this or is it just turned off. Thanks!,

Don't know what that is. There used to be an arrow in the google box at top right that aloud me to go back to the original page. But now if I search google from the bookmarks bar.. no arrow appears. So, what is the Snap Back from the extensions gallery??

Can't get my tab to go back to my google search when click on a link, says for securiety can be seen unencripted, do I want to continue, securiety warning?FIX?

Hello I Can't get my tab to go back to my google search when click on a link, says (aproximately) for securiety can be seen cause unencripted, do you want to continue, security warning. How to fix this? It is annoying. this expecially happens when I am searching for information on how to solve a problem like this and I click on a link and it turns out to be someone selling a fix. It wipes out my ability to go back and leave the page.
the dropdown arrow after the URL, after the star and before the refresh circle/arrow contains old history but not recent history.
Also, I can't get to https://www.google.co.cr/ I just got back to Costa Rica yesterday. I can to to google.com but not https://www.google.co.cr/ which populates automatically. I want to go to https://www.google.co.cr/ .
Any ideas on these problems.
Says, "The connection was reset". Why?

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

In my Firefox page I only can type in a subject in Google Search, so where do I type in a particular web site

I have Firefox now as my default browser. But, when the Firefox window comes up there is no place where I can type in a specific web site address. There is only a spot where I can do a Google search. How or where do I type in a particular www.----.com?

Use the "Alt" key to temporarily display menus
View > Toolbars > ...
make sure the Location bar is checkmarked
Ctrl+L should bring up the location bar even if not shown,
and will place the cursor inside the entry area.

Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

How can I turn off Safari's Google search auto complete off ?

I do know if I am using the right word, so I will post the picture
When you type something in the search bar, Google will automatically complete it for you. It's very annoying to me, how can I turn it off?

Go to Safari in the menu bar/Preferences/Privacy last check box, Smart Search Field, Prevent search engine from providing suggestions.

Can't browse websites or do google searches, no bar appears

This is so frustrating. I can't type in any site that doesn't appear in my bookmarks bar. I went and did a help search and it said to enable parental controls in security preferences and when I try I can't even click on the box because it's grayed out and won't let me(I know it's pretty sad that a 36 year old man can't figure out parental controls on his own computer
I've had this computer (& safari) for years and I haven't done any updates in awhile. This is extremely annoying since I have to use a new web browser with none of my info, preferences, sites, etc stored on it.
Can anyone help?
Thank for listening!
Michael

Hi Michael,
Those folders are only usually present when an application has installed something there, so it's not a problem if you can't find them.
One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account.
This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+\] to create a test one (and \[-\] to remove it if needed)
If the other user account works, try trashing the Safari preferences file in your normal account:
Hard drive -> Users -> YourUsername -> Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.Safari.plist

I have a first generation ipod touch. I use a wireless router to get on the internet. My connection has frozen and I can not get out of a google search screen. Any help is appreciated. Ray.

I have a first generation ipod touch. I use a wireless router to get my internet connection. It is frozen on opening up a website and will not release. Even when I power down and restart it goes back to the same failed connection. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Ray.

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Safari and delete cookies, cach and history.
- Restore the iPod

Y start page only lets me do Yahoo searches. How do I get back to the Google search box I used to have?

The default google search in the middle of a new window is gone, how do i restore it?

I downloaded free flash player not knowing I already have it with adobe, but with it was Mcafee security (I uninstalled it right away). Now, when I open Firefox, it has the Google icon in the middle of the page, but when I add or open a new window, the google icon is gone. How can I bring back the default google searcher in the middle of the new page?

A new window opens with the home page, so you need to check the home page setting.

How can i get back my google search window?

Is there any way to get back a separate google search window?

No. The search and address bar are now unified in Safari 6.

Back button doesn't work in https google search

Google search seems to have made https mandatory when logged in. This breaks history and the behaviour of the back button from the results page back to the google search results page. I think that this is because google, upon clicking on a result link, redirects to the results page via an intermediary, obfuscated url, which causes the back button to also redirect back to the result page. This is exactly the same problem as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/892406?e=es&as=aaq for which there is no solution, as google doesn't allow us to disable https anymore. BTW, this behaviour is not replicted on chrome, i.e., back button works correctly in spite of the intermediate redirecting page.

Hi,
You can try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=search NoScript] add-on which may help.

Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list

When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Since Firefox v34, after zooming text on a page Google Search took me to, the Google search page is blank after clicking 'Back' to it. Is this a v34 glitch?

Since Firefox v34, the Google Search results page is blank after, 1) Clicking on a link in a Google Search results page and loading the linked page, 2) Zooming in on the text on the page Google took me to, and then without resetting text zoom, 3) Clicking the Firefox 'Back' arrow to return to the Google search results. If at that point I either reload the Google results page, or click back a page and then forward again, the full search results are then displayed again.
This happens on my Windows 7 PC as well as my Vista Notebook. Is this a glitch with text zooming and Google in Firefox version 34?

'''>>Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.<'''
Setting that made no difference. I ran 30-40 test searches on Google with that set and Firefox restarted in Safe Mode with all add-ons disabled. The problem persists on the vast majority of searches. However backing up to Google search results after following some links doesn't result in the problem.
For instance when I do a Google search from www.google.com (USA) on [https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=%22Steve+Gibson%22+ "Steve Gibson"] and click the first result, which for me is his Wikipedia page: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Gibson_%28computer_programmer%29 "Steve Gibson (computer programmer) - Wikipedia"]. If I hit CTRL/+ a couple times to zoom text after the page loads, and then click Firefox's 'Back" icon, the previous Google search result page will be empty.
However if I click on the 2nd result in Google's search results, which for me is [https://www.grc.com/stevegibson.htm "GRC | Steve Gibson's WebZone:"], I can zoom the text several times and then click back to the Google search results and find them all displayed fine.
But I've been having this problem when backing up to Google search results probably 70-90% of the time since I updated from Firefox v33 to v34.
It's frustrating because Firefox seems to remember the text zoom level for entire domains. So if I zoom on one Wikipedia page, Firefox will display all Wikipedia pages I visit subsequently at that zoom level. I used to love this feature. But it's become a real pain now when I back up to Google.
BTW: If in the 1st example above, I first reset the text zoom level while I'm still on the Steve Gibson Wiki page, all the Google search results are displayed fine after I click Firefox's 'Back" icon. I don't have this problem in Chrome or Opera.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
