Firefox 32 back navigation does not work

Hi:
The followings happen to firefox 31 beta 9; firefox 32 beta 8 .
If I want to save pictures or whatever , I open a new window and pull whatever images I want to save to the new window so that I can perform the saves consecutively, say I have pulled 20 images to the new window and starting saving images from the last page of this new window, so the next image to be saves will the second last page and so on and I should be able to go backwards 19 times back to the first image; but upto about 4 backward navigations , the browser stops working as in only "connecting...." appears in the title bar and the browser does not go backwards.
Also, the browser stops saving images (even for those on pages to which I was able to go backwards) , it always displays "unknown download time" in the download window (the traffic says 0 bytes/s, etc) and the image is never saved.
This problem is not site specific. Just using Flash player 10 plugin; Adobe PDF plug-in.
I am using Firefox 30 beta 9 now. No such problems.
What is causing these problems?
Also, why is necessary to reboot computer after install? What are these versions doing to the registry, etc??
Regards

The back button does not work consistently, and rarely works if I open an attachment...any ideas on fixing this?

The back button does not work consistently, and rarely if ever when I open an attachment. Does anyone have a fix for this?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I installed firefox

Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

Back button does not work and homepage does not show on startup

My back and forward buttons do not work anymore. they just show grey and I can not click on them.
Also my home page does not show when i start firefox.
I reinstalled firefox 4 and then went back to firefox 3.6.16 and have the same problem in both versions.
Not sure what to do anymore
I just found out that when I open a second window everything works fine in the second window, but it still does not work in the first window.
When I close both windows the same thing happens. The first window my home page does not show up and the back button does not work, but the second window works normal. Including my home page.

Yeah, I am having the same problem (with 4.0 and earlier versions). It is really frustrating to say the least. I never thought I'd say this, but I might have to go back to IE if FF is going to be this useless. I noticed that you have to right click (instead of left click like it works in the real world) on the backwards/forwards buttons, and that is no less frustrating since my mouses backwards/forwards buttons no longer work with this new asinine button set up.

Firefox 4 was functioning well until two days ago. Browser will not open to my home page and tool bars do not appear. Was able to find toolbar but "back" button does not work. What changed?

Firefox now opens to a blank page and the word Firefox appears in upper left hand corner in orange. It, apparently, contains a drop down menu. I can navigate from here but "back" button does not function in any website. How do I get it back to where it was previous to this change?

You can change this if you don't mind peeking under the covers into Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
(i) Page thumbnails (default)
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
(ii) Blank tab
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
(iii) Built-in Firefox home page
browser.newtab.url = about:home
(iv) Any other page
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

Spry Navigation does not work in IE version 6

I have a simple spry navigation bar at the top of website that works in all the browsers I tested it in, ie IE ver 7 and 8, Mozilla Firefox (all versions), Netscape (all versions), and Safari. The only one I can't it to work in is IE version 6. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am attaching a copy of both browsers, one that does not work and one that does.
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem. Looks great in FF, Safari, Opera,
but in IE the dropdowns are dancing all over the place. Suspect
it's something in the hover classification, but can't figure out
where the problem is:

Back Button does not work after upgrade to F4.01, why?

90% of the time, since my upgrade to Firefox 4.01, my Back Button (arrow) does not work. I know there's a referring page and it hasn't opened a new window. Ideas?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

How do open files in the "downloads" directory of Firefox (right clicking does not work)?

In the toobar settings and I have it set to download files and programs on to my desktop-it does not. Instead all downloads go the "downloads" file and when I attempt to open these programs or files with a right-click or any other technique-it does not work.
If at all possible, please call me to resolve this issue at (714) 392-2280. Thanks.

Hi Milesb,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. The [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes] Knowledge base article will help.
You might also want to take a look at [[Preferences are not saved]].
Hopefully this helps!

My back button does not work because the prior screen does not appear in the history. I therefore must go back to the blue screen and reload safari. Apple tech support could not help. Can anyone else help?

After I installed mountain lion my back button frequently does not work because the prior screen does not appear iunder History. Apple tech support was not able to fix the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken!

Trackpad browser navigation does not work anymore.

Hi,
I've just noticed that I cannot navigate in the browser anymore with the trackpad... forward and backwards does not work anymore...
I've attached the new Mighty Mouse yesterday and installed the 10.6.2 update today.
Was sitting on the couch and noticed that it does not work anymore. Checked the
prefs of the Trackpad and ticked/unticked the box, however to no avail.
Anybody else noticed this problem or does anybody knows how to fix it???
Cheers, Marcel.

Hello, I am not sure why it would not be working with you, but just like you I installed 10.6.2 today and it seems to be working with Firefox.

Command to set firefox as default does not work

After setting chrome as my default browser, I want to set Firefox as my default browser from the command line on windows.
According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser I ran
firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
But that does not work. Chrome stays as the default browser. Setting FF as the default from the FF dialog (asking to set as default) works but I want to do it from the commandline.

We have a support article on that: [[Make Firefox the default browser on Android]]. When trying to determine the current default browser app, I think Samsung's is called "Internet".

How do I set Firefox 10.0.2 to be default browser in Windows 7, using a script or setup switch. "Firefox.exe -setDefaultBrowser" does NOT work.

I want to set Firefox as default browser for all my users.
I can do this by opening Firefox and go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced and hit the "Check now" button. That works fine, but I need to accomplish this automatically.
Running setup with the -setDefaultBrowser switch does NOT work. Running "firefox.exe -silent -SetDefaultBrowser" after setup does NOT work.
Is this even possible? Or are we stuck with IE?

Thank you for your reply, however it really does not work for me.
I have Firefox installed, as well as Internet Explorer 9. If I check "Default Programs --> Set Default Programs" in Windows 7 it states that Internet Explorer is default.
If I create a shortcut on my desktop that points to "www.mozilla.org" for example, and double-click that shortcut, it will open in Internet Explorer.
I now run "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" with administrative privileges.
I look again in "Default programs" and i still says IE is default browser. If I click on my shortcut it still opens in IE.
If I change the setting manually from within Firefox it works fine.
Please help, I really can't make this work.

Browser back button does not work (IE) - Error On Page message

Just take over website from our designer; I'm new, probably doing more fiddling on the live remote website than I should be...
http://www.cmcwny.org
Error On Page message, internal links work, but the browser Back button does not (at least in IE).
I have a backup of my local site from before this happened, but I do not know how to actually replace it.
Any help on either issue will be appreciated, thanks!

Hi
First, get rid of your designer, the page design/code is a mess.
There are a number of problems with the page, not least being the disabling of the back button in all browsers I tested it in, (visitors may visit once with this, but are unlikely to do so a 2nd time).
The menu system is a fixed size so that when the browser is resized it overflows the browser window.
The use of tables for layout is not recommended as it is inaccessible to users using assistive devices.
To put this more politely, if you paid for this, ask for your money back. If you did not pay, then start again and use one of the dreamweaver layouts for your page, for more info, see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing_new_css_layouts.html.

On Mac OS X, multitouch with Firefox 4 RC does not work.

Multitouch support (such as changing text sizes) does not work on Mac OS X when using Firefox 4 RC

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4. 
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift cmd_fullZoomReset
