Finder Back/Forward Gestures Gone?

I am not able to use the Back and Forward gestures in finder in Maverics.
Does anyone know how to activate it or has this really useful feature been completly removed in the new version?

Gestures is not working like it did before. The side to side, forward back swipe, is very picky. Sometimes it takes four or five tries before it works. And yes I know how to do it. I have had a magic trackpad for about one year. And was greatly pleased by how it worked, BEFORE Mavericks. It has has indeed changed.

How to go back in Finder with touch gesture?

In Snow Leopard, I could to go back in Finder with two finger swipe. (equal with Safari's backword gesture)
Now, Safari support go back by one finger swipe, but Finder does not. How can enable this?

I think there might be a bug or two in how Finder responds to gestures.
1) Finder does not use "Natural" gestures - the above solution does enable the Forward/Backward gestures in Finder, but they work exactly opposite from Safari. Swiping left should got forward and swiping right should go backward.
2) Finder requires 3-finger swipes for forward/backward, but Safari uses 2-finger swipes. This is annoying because I have to train myself to use different gestures for the same functionality. And it is also a true limitation bug because I cannot have both the "3-finger drag" and the "2- or 3-finger forward/backward for Finder" gestures enabled at the same time.

TS3366 iOS 7: Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail conflicts with Panning Gesture

Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail is different than the back and forward gesture used to swipe between Home screens. The simple swipe with the thumb straight does not work in Safari and Mail, it conflicts with the Panning gesture. It should be relatively easy to improve the algorithm to allow for that gesture to work.

Indeed, swiping back from pdf pages sometimes works, but most often does not.
It seems that the swiping gesture has in all cases changed slightly. It is now necessary to swipe a little until a portion of the previous page is uncovered, and only then can one swipe back.
The fact that there is a specific way to swipe back from html pages suggests that there might be an equally specific way to swipe back from pdf pages. I am still experimenting. Meanwhile make sure no one is sitting to your right in case your trackpad flies off during a gesture trial.

I just updated to 25.0 and I noticed the History drop down menu has been simplified and Back, Forward and Home are now gone. Can these be restored?

I am running on a Mac (Lion) with FF 25.0. I typically hide the toolbar because I like to max out my screen space without having to go into full screen mode. So I typically use a custom keyboard command to navigate forward and back during my browser session, but occasionally the keyboard command fails and the page is unresponsive. In the past all I had to do was go up to the History drop down menu and choose "Back" or "Forward". I would also use the "Home" selection to get back to my homepage. But ever since I updated to 25.0 those selection are now gone from the History menu.
Is there any way to restore them? And are they gone for all users (was this a global change) or are one of my add-ons simply not playing nice and causing this problem? TIA!

On WinXP Back, Forward, and Home was last in the Firefox 3.6 versions and disappeared as of Firefox 4.0 - and hasn't been seen since.
Doesn't the Mac OSX versions of Firefox have Back and Forward in the context menu (right-click), as Windows and Linux versions do?

The symbols that appear on my internet page have gone (back, forward, favourites). How do i get them back?

As well as this whenever I go into iPhoto and edit my images the image distorts or goes blank. Why is this?

Have no idea what you're referring to. How does that relate to iPhoto?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Hi. On the buttons labeled Back, Forward, Reload, Stop, and Home on the top of Firefox page used to be all right beside each other on the left, followed by the Address Bar and then the Search Bar.

However, I wanted to try Firefox Beta 4 but didn't like it, especially since I'd lose all my add-ons! So i have Firefox 3.6.13, but now my bar at the top is Back, Forward, then Address Bar, the Reload, Stop, Search Bar, and then Home. How do I get it the way it was before?! Please help!
I also had a buttong for AiOS (All-in-One-Side Bar) which I really like and now it gone! I cant find it in the preferences either! Please help. I would insert images to help but I guess I cant do that here.

Thank you SO much! That completely solved all the issues! You've made my day! Thanks!

Lion finder 2 finger gesture?

In Finder, i cannot use 2 finger to enlarge. i try 3 4 finger they do not work~
For example：
In Snow Leopard i can use 2 finger to enlarge my desktop file icon，but in Lion it does not work～
I wander to know if I can set up some gesture, or the function is cancelled.

I used to enjoy 2-finger swipe to go forward and backwards in applications.
For example, 2-finger swipe on Chrome browser (or any browser) would go back/forward on previously viewed webpages.
On iTunes, 2-finger swipe would help me easily navigate back to All Artists view.
In system prefs, try chosing "Swipe with Two or Three fingers" in the drop down menu for Swipe Between Pages. You can still use the 2 finger swipe in safari, but you can use the old 3 finger swipe (with the old direction) in iTunes/Finder/Mac App Store etc.
Let me know if this helps!

My interface -- buttons (back, forward, reload), firefox tab, groups, etc. -- does not look like the sample on your "firefox features" page. ("Groups" seems not to function at all.) I'm running the current firefox 4 download on Windows XP. Can you help?

Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

How do I go back to my old version of Firefox. 4 does not allow me to use two finger mousepad control to expand or contract my screen. Also I don't like the lack of a drop-down arrow next to the back/forward buttons.

I don't like to have to click and drag to see the drop down history of the back/forward buttons - this requires two fingers or a double tap and hold finger motion. MUCH easier to click and release and take my time to pick the screen I want to go back to, then click on that link with a separate motion.
I especially don't like that I can no longer expand and contract the screen with two finger motion on my mousepad!!!
Generally, I don't see any advantage to the new layout - and I have a slight preference to having my tabs closer to the screen rather than above the address bar, since I more frequently click on tabs than on the address bar. If you want to improve the view I would recommend combining the very topmost bar which is part of the window surround with the File Edit etc bar (and please keep File, Edit, View History, etc separated instead of putting them into a dropdown). This will allow the viewer one more line of text on a given webpage, and eliminate the wasted space which is only used to identify the window as FF and provide the close window buttons
PLEASE help me go back to the old version. It was perfect.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

I have lost my back/forward option along with my bookmarking and have lost my complete list of bookmarks. I am unable to import them back. How can I correct this?

I erased some games and lost the back/forward option. I then upgrades firefox and lost all of my bookmarks and the bookmark option won't let me add on new bookmarks. I have gone to several troubleshooting pgs and still unable to resolve the problem. When I start firefox, it tells me I can't bookmark because of security blocking it.

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

How do I move the Home button between Back Forward and address bar?

The way I have my firefox set up for years is to put the buttons like this:
[Back][Forward][Stop/Reload][Home][Progress Animation][Address Bar]
Now in FF29 I'm trying to move the Home button between the BackForward buttons and the address bar and it won't let me.
I thought FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet? *confused*
Is there a way to do this, am I missing something? Thanks

''' "I thought FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet?" ''' <br />
Whoever told you that was incorrect, as far as I am concerned. Firefox still is more customizable that the "competition", but not as much as previous versions were.
The Home button can be moved, but the Back / Forward combo button is attached to the Address Bar - they can't be separated.
The combo Stop / Reload button is locked in the Address Bar.<br />
The old "Activity Indicator" is gone. Deemed unnecessary with the loading animation on the left corner of each tab, where the Favicon appears once the page is fully loaded.

Many users are installing the Classic Theme Restorer extension. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ <br />But I don't think that is going to turn out to be along term solution. As users start installing other extensions I think they are going to run into compatibility issues where the new extension "expects" the user to be using what Firefox came with - not the "retro" features.

How can I add Internet browser back/forward buttons to the main toolbar?

The developper of the software I'm testing manages to open
web-pages in a window within our software. We find this a great
feature, although it has one downside: no back/forward buttons the
users have gotten used to thru standard Internet browsers.
Is there any way to add these classic Internet browsing
buttons to the main toolbar of a WebHelp output? I've noticed them
on some other outputs (HTML-help if I'm not mistaken).
I've noticed some similar topics in this forum, but the seem
to discuss the browsing sequence buttons, which we find less
usefull.
Thanks for looking into this!
Greetings,
Olivier

Hi Olivier
Take a look at my Skinny on Skins file. There are
instructions inside on how to accomplish this.

HT4753 I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

It's actually even easier than using Save As to see the full path to the currently open document. Just do a "Secondary click" on the document title in its window's title bar.
Like you, I relied upon Save As my whole life to check a file's location and considered it a must-have capability. Turns out it's even faster to use the single-click method to reveal the full path to the open document. It displays the entire path to the current document starting from the level of your Mac, and works for files stored on drives as well as iCloud.
If you're not sure how to do a secondary click, go into System Preferences, select Trackpad, Point & Click to find the current preference for secondary click on your Mac. If you happen to have a mouse with more than one button, it's probably the right button. As a trackpad user, I check the box to "Click or tap with two fingers," so a simple two finger tap on the title of an open document reveals its full path. This feature actually has been around for a very long time.
Note that this is not the same thing as the Autosave and Versions menu, which is exposed using a little drop down triangle to the right of the title. There is no visual clue for the presence of this feature - you just have to know it's there, probably because this feature goes all the way back to pre-OS X days.

Disable browser back/forward buttons for CRM 7

In one of the books I've on the subject of the interaction center there was mention of an OSS note to disable the Browser Back/forward button. If you jump around Browser sessions it's common to suddenly jump into a SAP browser session, hit the back button, exit out and then realise the error that you've made.
I've been searching for this note but have been unsuccessful in finding it so far.
Does anyone know what this note is?.
Jason

They are all ticked in that box except DEFAULT, DEFAULT_CHM and DEFAULT_ICM. If I tick these and Save I receive the message saying 'DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES (SAP ENTRY). Now obviously I can just enter past this and create a transport, but is this the right thing to do?.
In John Burton's book, called 'Maximize Your SAP CRM Interaction Center' there is an OSS note mentioned to resolve this issue, and was why I originally raised this post.
However, If you suggestion works then I would be happy to try it.
How does one know which technical profile is being used when log in, and therefore which one to change?.
