Does not open default site.Needs retry in favorites. Back and forward arrows do not work

Facebook is the defaulkt address but, when I open Firefox thw scrren is blank (bar are present, though). This happens after last review
In addition, back and forward arrows do not work (this has always happened since Firefox 4 beta)

* First to prevent interferences between current and Beta versions, use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta. In your new Beta profile, you can recover all your customizations from your 3.6 profile. See [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
* Then, if it is not fixed, see [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]].

  • Back and forward arrows do not work why?

    Since upgrading to 4.0.1 The back and forward arrows do not work. I've tried uninstalling and installing a number of times. Can you help please!

    Right click the Back / Forward buttons to get a list of sites visited.
    You can also install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/

  • 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.

  • HT1414 When I search for stuff on the internet it says safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding and non of my games work either. What do I do to fix this?

    When I search for stuff on the internet it says safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding and non of my games work either. What do I do to fix this?

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

All of navigation tool bar worked until I updated Fire Fox, now if I click on a link in yahoo, for instance, I can not get back to my yahoo home page without reloading Fire Fox. HELP please.

  • New Firefox page does not have back and forward arrows, refresh or stop features on it.

    I used to have a back and forward arrow, an X to stop something and a refresh sign on the second line at the top of the screen and box with the link I was on shown so you could copy and paste it. Those features are no longer there.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded to the new version of Firefox yesterday.

    Did you reset the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page?
    You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
    Filter: '''general.useragent'''
    If any ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.
    * If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
    * Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
    * If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • 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)]

  • If I open a second window in Safari it doesn't have the home page icon nor does it have the back and forward arrows. Why not?

    How do I get a second Safari page with the home page icon and back and to arrowsl?

    Move to the desktop or rename the com.apple.Safari.plist
    Found in your User/Library/Preferences/
    Finder>Go>Go to Folder (copy and paste:)
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Quit and restart the browser.  The default plist will be rebuilt. See if this sorts your problem.
    If no you can always put back the original plist, no harm done.

  • I want to set up firefox in kiosk mode, but I need to have the Back (and Forward) button and the Home button available.

    The computer will be used only for online catalog access in my library. I need to remove the location toolbar, but keep the back buttons and home button. If I use Kiosk mode, I don't have the back buttons. I can set it up so that I have the buttons but not the URL, but a user could right click on the menu bar and re-enable the location bar. I need to prevent them from doing that.
    Thanks!

    Users can always bring up a location bar with the Ctrl+L shortcut if that bar is hidden.
    A possibility is to hide toolbar items and (context) menu items with code in userChrome.css below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

  • Why is it my home page won't load when I open, my back and forward buttons don't work, the tabs have no boarders, they just show text and I can't tell which one I'm on sometimes, I can't download things, and firefox won't remember tabs when I close it?

    I've tried switching to an older version, re-installing the latest version, deleting add-ons, clearing my history and cookies, and nothing works. What the heck?! I didn't do anything, it just flipped out when I opened it!!!!

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See:
    * [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Exchange - reply and forward arrow symbols not showing in Outlook

    I have a hosted Exchange 2007 account and I am running iOS 6.1.3 on an iPhone 4S.  When I reply to an e-mail, a grey reply arrow shows up on my iPhone.  However, in Outlook, there is no reply arrow.  There should be a little purple reply arrow.  And a little blue arrow for forwarded emails.  Messages that are replied to or forwarded in Outlook or OWA or any other Exchange client exhibits no problems; those little arrows show up everywhere.  The exception is when I reply from Mail on an iOS device. 
    I posted about this issue nearly four years ago, here on Apple's support site: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9942216 .  As far as I know, to this date, this issue still has not been fixed.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?  And more importantly, is there a fix that I am unaware of?

    In case this is an issue for anyone else, iOS 8 seems to have fixed this.

  • Help! pagecentent.setAttributes, IE can not open the site

    Hi there,
    I have some scriplets in my jsp file.
    I the scriplets I used pagecontent.setAttribute("varname", varvalue) so that i can use varname in my jstl code.
    My jsp file is about getting some image file and print its string format.
    I run the url and it works at first, but after load the page several times, I got the error messge:
    Internet Explore can not open the site http://....
    I click refresh, sometime it works, some time not. The more times I load the page, the more often the error shows up.
    Does anybody have any ideas about this error?
    Does mix scriplet var with jstl var often cause problem?
    Thanks a lot.

    i think you might have to give a bit more detail...its easy to mark this as a IE configuration problem the way you have it....caching? does it behave differently if you 'click refresh' or hit F5? seems stupid but F5 always does a true page refresh. links and the refresh button seem to grab from cache even when they're not supposed to. i've also dealt with annoying proxy servers that ignore the response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); directive.
    i apologize if i'm on the wrong track, but any sort of java errors would usually show up in a log or something...see if you can find that to debug any syntax problems.

  • The back and forward browser buttons are NOT ALWAYS available to use, so once I open a web-site I can not go back to what I was looking at previously. This has only started happening recently?

    The back and forward browser button always works when we first get online, and then over some time it will not work and then will work again (working again is happening less). I have re-started the computer many times to fix the issue.

  • My thumbnails are not showing up next to the icons in finder.  Also the back arrow and forward arrow as well as the list options don't show up.  Any suggestions how to get them back?

    In my Finder window, the picture icons that usually show up next to the items are not there.  i.e. in my sidebar, the little pictures that are usually by the Application, Desktop, Documents, etc items.  Also, the back and forward arrows, list items and tasks don't show as well.  Any ideas on how to get them back?

  • How do i make the back and forward buttons function? they are visible but not functional.

    I have firefox 8.0.1 and my back and forward button are not working. They are visible but not functioning. I have tried starting in safemode and without any add-ons and the back and forward buttons are still not functioning. What do I need to do to make the buttons functional?

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