Do think the firefox back and forwoard button should look like what it look like in netscape?

Netscape is the ancestor of firefox.i think it would be greater if firefox would use its ancestors back and forward button to show respect.if you agree with me click i have this problem too button and well show firefox what we want.

The Firefox button displays by default only in Windows Vista and Windows 7. You '''''can''''' have it display in Windows XP
'''Menu Bar'''<br />
*right-click empty space at the end of the Tab Bar, click "Menu Bar" to place a checkmark
*Menu Bar checked = Menu Bar on; Firefox button off
*Menu Bar un-checked = Menu Bar off; Firefox button on
*Other methods of doing the same:
**click Firefox button > Options, click Menu Bar
**Quick toggle Menu Bar on/off: ALT+V+T+M
To have the Menu Bar '''''temporarily''''' display when the Firefox button is on, press the ALT key or the F10 key to make the Menu Bar appear and use your mouse to make selections from the temporarily displayed Menu Bar. Why would you want to do this? The selections available are different.

  • Upon starting up my mini mac for the first time I see the welcome screen but the 'go back' and'continue' buttons are greyed out so I cant continue.

    As the title states everytime I boot up my mini mac the 'go back' and 'continue' buttons are greyed out and I cannot continue with the installation. I even went out and bought an external cd drive to try and load the operating system and that did not work either.

    Hi, what OS version is it? And which year Mini?

  • Why have the forward, back and refresh buttons stopped working in Firefox 4 Beta 10?

    Upgraded from FF4 Beta 2 to Beta 10. They were working fine in Beta 2.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Is it possible to set the firefox back button to a custom action in the context of a websocket connexion?

    Simply, is it possible to set the firefox back and forward button to custom javascript function to navigate in a websocket application.
    Thanks in advance

    You may get lucky, especially as Today is a "Sumo Day" with more contributors around than usual. Such a question tends to be slightly off topic, being a hack of a standard Firefox installation.
    What I would suggest is that you try other forums, either a specialist linux forum or the popular Mozillazine forums: http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php

  • Problem with Back and Next Buttons: a solution?

    Hello,
    It is well known that including the Back and/or Next buttons in Captivate quiz questions presents real problems. I have come up with what I think to be a solution. It should allow one to include both Back and Next buttons, if one wants to do this. It involves doing the following:
    With Question 1, do not include a Back button. (This is so that the quiz-taker cannot get out of the quiz scope in the forward direction.)
    Create this advanced action: If cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions = 0, then Go To The Next Slide (i.e. the results slide); Else Continue.
    Insert a slide after the final question (and before the results slide). On this slide, include the following:
    A message to this effect: ‘You have not answered all of the questions. Please go back and complete all of them.’
    A button labeled ‘Return to Questions’ (on success: Jump to slide with Question 1). But include no other buttons. That is, if the quiz-takers lands up on this slide, he or she has only this option.
    On Enter (i.e. on entering the slide being described here), Execute Advanced Action =  the advanced action described in Item 2 above.
    Now for something odd. Before the slide described in Item 3, insert a slide with a Text Caption with variable $$cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions$$. Keep the slide as brief as possible (something like 0.5 sec.) and make the text of the Text Caption invisible. And why all this? Because I found that, without it, problems arose quite regularly. If one or more questions were not answered, the quiz-taker would come, as expected, to the slide described in Item 3 above. The quiz-taker would then go back to complete the unanswered questions. But then—sometimes—the Item 3 slide would still appear, even though all the questions were answered! The quiz-taker would return once again to the questions (since this is the only option available), only to find that now none of the questions were answered! And at this point, there was no escape: the Item 3 slide would always appear no matter what one did. Why should inserting the additional slide described in the present item solve the problem? I don’t know. All I can say is that (1) without it, the problem arises often (though not always), and (2) with it, the problem hasn’t occurred yet, even though I’ve done lots of testing.
    Final note. It will be clear that this solution is meant to be used together with the option Allow Backward Movement. Will the solution work with Branch Aware? I don’t know yet. Will it work with Question Pools? Again, I don’t know yet. I’ve only done a bit of testing in both cases. The results thus far indicate that at least one of these options presents real problems. Both might.
    I’m still testing this solution (or what I hope is a solution). If anyone else wants to try it, I’d be interested in hearing how it goes.
    Best regards,
    Marvin DuBois

    Dear Lilybiri,
    Thank you for your response.
    1. 'I don't get it why you don't use the Submit All option?'
    Submit All is fine in some cases. But it limits the options: the quiz-taker does not get immediate (question-by-question) feedback. So where immediate feedback is wanted, the Submit All option presents problems.
    2. "Why do you need a Back button . . . ?'
    a. The Back button is needed during Review. Otherwise, the quiz-taker can only review in one direction.
    b. In some quizzes, the quiz-taker should be free to go back, whether to check earlier question slides (since the questions and/or responses can be relevant for the current question) or to re-read/re-hear information slides inserted between question slides.
    But the more general issue is this. The Cp Back and Next buttons provide us with possibilities, with further options. Workarounds are available, such as not allowing backward movement and placing a Clear button over Next. But these workarounds limit the possiblities, i.e. the possibilities that are there—i.e. that Adobe puts there. It's not that we always need these possibliities. But neither should we be hindered from using them if we so choose—and especially when we would be hindered simply because Cp doesn't work as well as it should.
    Kind regards,
    Marvin

  • With version 5 of Firefox, if I open more than 1 session, most of the time I cannot see anything in the navigation bar and my back and forward buttons do not work.

    I open 1 session of Firefox 5.0.1 and everything seems to work fine. Then I open a second session of Firefox and most of the time the navigation bar does not show the page that I am on and the back and forward buttons do not work. When this happens, the first session always remains working. I am an internet marketer so I have at least 2 or 3 sessions going at any given time.

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

  • Vista Ultimate, Firefox 4.01 just installed. The back and forward buttons do not work with this new installation. Help please.

    O?S is Vista Ultimate 32 bit fully updated. I have just installed Firefox 4.01. I have lost use of back and forward buttons - they are greyed out. Is there a solution please?

    It is possible to have earlier data in a tab if the latest tab had target="_top" that means the back key will not work, but if your right-click on the back/forward you see a context menu. As far as I know the only difference between 3.6 and 4.0 ws that the drop-down arrow was dropped but like before you can still right-click.
    There are some extensions that mess with the Back/Forward buttons.
    There is a difference between gray and '''black''' on the buttons, '''black''' means there is history in that direction.
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

  • When I start it up it shows two two nested windows on the screen, has a Firefox yellow tab in the corner, does not display the toolbar bookmarks, the back and forth buttons do not work and there is no page refresh. No clue what is going on.

    Every time I open up Firefox it appears to open two nested and linked windows, each with their own minimize, maximize and close buttons but the both work the same. The homepage does not come up, the back and forth buttons do not work. Both the refresh button and F5 do not work. The Bookmark Toolbar does not show up until I disable it in View and then re-enable it and this causes the outer nested window to disappear or close.

    This issue can be caused by an extension or theme that isn't working properly.
    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).

  • The back and forward button stay disabled after upgrading to Firefox 4

    I upgraded to Firefox 4 and the back and forward buttons are never enabled. I see them, but they are not working.
    History works, recently closed pages work, bookmarks work.
    I disabled all addons, uninstalled FF4, deleted \Program Files\Firefox, re-installed, kept extensions disabled, removed all backups from bookmarkbackups, deleted places.sqlite and still nothing.
    What else can I do?

    Norton has a fix out. See: http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-Toolbar-5-5-incompatible-with-Firefox-4-RC1/td-p/411556/page/2

  • Firefox version: 3.6.8 Operating system: Windows XP - back and forward buttons disappers. REsetting customize toolbar to default doen't solve the problem

    I've Firefox version: 3.6.8 , OS: Windows XP - The back and forward buttons disappears. Resetting customize toolbar to default doesn't solve the problem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Firefox was updated to ver 3.6.8

    In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • How can I make appear the arrow-button that showed the recent history of a same tab (next to back and forward buttons)?

    for instance, if I searched a word on google, then clicked on a certain page of the results, then inside that page I entered a link, etc if I wanted to "go back" directly to the instance of google searching I could click on this arrow-button and I would be able to choose that exact moment instead of clicking several times on the "back" till I reached the desired past page

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • The back and forward buttons on Logitech mouse don't work

    My logitech performance MX back and forward buttons don't work. I tried in safe mode and they still don't work. I tried creating a custom shortcut in logitech setpoint and that didn't work either. I tried using the native mouse driver and not logitech. No luck.
    I really like this functionality. Is there a way to enable these buttons?

    Hi mike,
    i'm not sure if this will help but how about this add-on called "Vimperator". It is easy to use and works like vim. (Try this as an alternate till we figure out the problem) :)
    Hope that helped.
