Sorry, this seems to be an issue with Firefox's in-memory cache: when you use a high zoom level on Google with "instant prediction results" (the default setting) then Firefox glitches in redisplaying the page after going back (you may see it for a split second before it blanks out).
Assuming you like your zoom level and like using instant prediction results, then the workaround is to turn off part of Firefox's in-memory caching by changing a setting under the covers.
(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 search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers''' preference and change the value from -1 to 0 (that's a zero).
(Please don't change any other similar-sounding settings to 0 or you may disable Firefox's ability to save/restore your open windows and tabs.)
Then reload the Google results page and test. Fixed? (Or should I say, worked-around?)

Had problem with bookmarks, history, back button and google links not working.

For the last five days i've had problems with firefox. First, i noticed that it was running incredibly slowly and then that all the links in the google search were not working. Then i noticed that neither was the history, bookmarks or back button. I went on to facebook chat to ask for help. First, I was told to reinstall firefox, which didn't work. Then i was told to do a "clean" install where you rename the old firefox folder in the programs folder so that it makes sure when it's installed that everything is new and nothing is corrupted. That didn't work either. I then disabled my antivirus software and firewall to see if that was causing the problem. It was not. Then I installed an anti-malware program to remove any adware or spywar,e which it did remove from my computer, but it didn't solve the problem. The chat person was at a loss and I don't blame him/her because so was I.
The reason I'm writing this is in case anyone else has the same problem. The only way I solved it was first by uninstalling and making sure to check the little box asking if you want all personal data and such associated with firefox also removed (which removes cookies as well) and then I finally thought to delete all the cookies from the rest of my computer also. Once all the cookies were gone and i had fully uninstalled firefox and personal data, I reinstalled it with a newly downloaded file and it is once again functioning properly. Hope this is helpful to anyone who's been ripping their hair out. :)

'''I have the same problem!!
But in my case, not just Google links.
The problem happens with all the websites links.

Browser Back Button and form navigation

Some times when you use browser back button and adf-taskflow navigation buttons, validation on form fails, witout having made any change even with enabled token validation.
Reproduction steps on HR schema:
1. Create QueryDepartment and EditDepartment Views and navigation rules in adfc-config.xml
2 Create ADF view only table page for QueryDepartment selectable, and add navigation button to go to EditDepartment
3. Create EditDepartment form with navigation buttons and button to navigate back to QueryDepartment
test:
1.Run QueryDepartment and select a department
2.Go to Edit Department using navigation button
3.Navigate to next department pressing the 'Next' button
4.Navigate back using the Browser Back button.
5.Try to navigate back to QueryDepartment using the navigation button.
My result is validation error on DepartmentId field 'Error: JBO-25013: '
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

Hi,
maybe I don't get it, but as I understood you have problem with focus on select button. So why don’t you set focus onLoad on another element of your page?
Something like onload=”$x(‘ELEMENT_NAME’).focus()”;

Back button and bookmarks

will you implement the back button and bookmarks functions in
spry?

Hi Petrus,
It is on our list of enhancement requests.
--== Kin ==--

DW5 back button (and go back function) OK in Firefox, go back too far in IE8.

Both the browser window back arrow button and the DW5 javascript "go back" function go back the correct ONE STEP in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer 8 either button jumps too far back, to a main page instead of to the departure point within some opened tab or opened accordion element on that page. Not stepping bcak through "history". Any ideas what is wrong in IE8?

Hi Greg,
before I go back to your "back"-function, I would like to draw your attention to DW's "jump function" (translated from my German DW). It appears to me a greater reliability in use than the other solutions. You can accurately send the people to the desired page.
and there e.g.:
And and among the simultaneous use of "your" your back-function, you certainly come to the goal.
I know these back-solutions and sometimes it is not all to bad toyou have these opportunities:
<a href="javascript:history.back()">one page back</a> or <a href="javascript:history.back();">
and links forward to do this way:
<a href="javascript:history.forward()">one page forward</a>
I'll look for your informations later.

Suddenly, I have no back button and an extra tool bar

When I came in this morning and opened Firefox 4.0b.11 I seem to have a rather odd set up. I have the normal top blue bar that I normally see on all windows applications, with the red x, minimize, maximize. Then below it, I see the blue bar that I shows up on my netbook, which has the ed x, minimize, maximize, and then an orange omni-menu. Under that, I have the File menu.
I would like to make the blue bar in the middle, the one with the orange omni-menu go away.
I also have lost all tracking with my back button. It just stays grey, and I can not go back with it, or right-click.
::edit:: my panorama is a mess too. It's putting all the windows out in space by themselves, duplicating containers without any function (plain boxes that behave as if they are not there). My windows are appearing black instead of with previews, when I open new tab in panorama, they don't show up, and it shows me the last panorama set I was in, until I manually go in and open a new tab in the browser window, then it jumps me into the other panorama set, and the tab I opened in panorama is there after that.
::edit:: my panorama windows are showing certain tabs, but when I enter into a tab, the actual tabs that are showing on my tab bar don't match.
::edit:: I've got no reload button either, or right click-reload, and the URL bar isn't showing the right URL when I switch tabs.
I can reload tabs by right clicking on them still.
Sorry, I've got to switch back to FF3.6 for the day; I'm a web developer and a lack of the refresh button kills productivity.

It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.

Firefox back button visual issue...

Hey there,
Overall, Firefox is just amazing. I registered this forum just report a bug about the Back-Button visual issue. The Back-Button in Firefox looks broken visually on start. When I open Firefox and enter any website, Back-Button looks visually broken. But later it look okay. I've taken some screen shots about that, but don't know how to attach them here. I am running windows 8 on my computers. Don't know about other OS users, if they are experiencing the same issue or not.

When I open a slde show in New Yahoo Mail I can't get back to Yahoo. When I click on the "back to Yahoo" button, the screen freezes with a gray cast over it and I have to use the back button and forward button to get back to my inbox.

This problem started immediately after I upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1
If I open my inbox in my New Yahoo Mail, then open an email with attachments and then open the attachments to "view as a slide show"....I can't close the slide show and return to the email by clicking on the "return to Yahoo" button. If you click on it, it returns to the first pic shown, and if you click on it again, the pics disappear and a gray haze appears over most of the screen but none of the features under the gray screen work. I have found that if I hit the back page and then forward page buttons, I can get back to my inbox eventually, but this is a terrible "pain in the ass"!

I hate the update of the bar. It has totally done away with being able to skip back several places in the browser; now I can only click the back button and go back one page at a time. I otherwise hate the new layout, too. How do I undo this?

I can't choose a specific page to skip back to but must click the back button over and over to get back to where I want to skip to. The little headings "most visited," "getting started," "Youtube," etc. have changed. They look more colorful, but I hate how the home button is clear over to the right side of the page, etc. What was wrong with the way everything was before? I HATE this new update, and I didn't even want it.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

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

Latest security update stole my back button and my "new window"

I am unable to go back a page because the back button that was in the upper right corner is not longer there. I have to close out completely to go back one page. I have a place called "New Window" but the area where for years I have typed in a URL is no longer there and there is no way to type anything without going to "Open a Location" which works but of course I still can not go back.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

JSF seems not to support the use of the back buttons and html frames.

I�m having the following problem. I have a JSP which contains a button that register a listener. Here is part of the code:
<h:command_hyperlink label="<%=engineBean.getId()%>" commandName="<%=engineBean.getId()%>">
<f:action_listener type="helloDuke.CommandAction"/>
</h:command_hyperlink>
This action listener only forwards the request to other simple JSP.
The problem appears in the following situation:
1 � I click in the button that generates the event that will be processed by helloDuke.CommnadAction listener.
2 � It forward to a second JSP page.
3 � This second page is rendered to the user properly.
4 � The user clicks in the browser�s back button to return to previous page.
Then if is the user clicks in first page button, the CommandAction listener was removed. You must click again in the button to forward to the correct page.
The same happened if you are using html frames. If you have a frame with 2 pages and both pages register action listeners.
The last loaded page cleans the actions listener of the other.
Does anybody have any solution?.
It seems JSF doesn�t support the use of frames and I think that in some situation the frames are the solution to several problems.
Any help will be really appreciated.

Using the saveStateInClient=true produces a faulty output when using the command_button and an action_listener. The page that is rendered is totally useless: the button won't work, and due to the faulty rendering there's an output like: >com.sun.faces.saveStateMarker
So, why is it, that pressing the button (not using the saveStateInClient option) will only work the second time, same thing pressing the backbutton. Pressing the reload button will toggle between two pages - the one before the session id is assigned and the one that it's supposed to show.
Any guess will be greatly appreciated !!!!
