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).

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 try to make a new video, a window comes up that says,"The operation could not be completed," and then under it, it says,"No other information is available about the problem," what is happening and how do I fix it?
Hi
And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
Troubleshooting note
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
Creating a new User-Account and log into this
This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
This You do by
First - close iPhoto
Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
Thirdly - now select all five options presented
THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
Screen must be set to million-colors
Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

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.

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

I downloaded the new version of firefox, now I cant watch any movies, the html text box is totally gone, and so is the back and forward website buttons, please help? can i just have the old version back?
Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.
* [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
* [[Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window]]
I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
* FirefoxButton -> add-ons
** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]
** examples [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar/ yahoo toolbar] & [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-mail-notifier/ mail notifier]
* also look at Yahoo's own information such as http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/toolbar/cl3/c3_ff_toolbar1.html -
My forward and back buttons are greyed out after update to Firefox 8. Tried to move to 9 beta, but same behavior. Back and Forward also greyed out in right click menu.
Attempted to fix by updating all plugins and extensions, then disabled all plugins and extensions, and then tried to start in safe mode. Nothing worked.You could have backed up your profile folder. If you did, [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] can help :)

Previously, selecting "attach" worked fine. How do I undo the so-called better way to make attachments??
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Why am I getting multiple versions of the same page showing in the Back (and Forward) buttons?
I had this problem with Firefox 4.x -- and I just upgraded to FF5, but the issue still exists.
What happens is, when I've surfed to more than one page (or site) on a tab, then want to go back, I find that my Back button history often has multiple versions of the most recent page loaded, so that when I press the Back button once, it does nothing. Instead, I have to hold the button to display all of that tab's recent history, in order to return to the page that immediately preceded the current page.
Could this be an issue with a plugin, that's loading the page multiple times, or something? It's certainly an annoyance.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide!Yeah, it's keeping all the history -- better than deleting it, I suppose -- but I'd rather not have to hit that button numerous times.
Here's an example -- I just tried this moments ago.
* I just opened a new tab.
* Typed imdb.com in the address bar.
* Clicked on a NewsDesk story: Jon Hamm Locks In 'Mad Men' for 3 Years
URL: http://www.imdb.com/news/ni11982605/
* Then clicked on Jon Hamm's name.
URL: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0358316/
(And come to think of it, IMDb seems to be where I notice this happening the most frequently.)
So the back button just reloads the Jon Hamm profile page again, and ditto when I finally page back to the news story page (takes me two clicks of the back button to go to the page before it).
Odd thing, when I repeated this process -- without opening a new tab -- now I have FOUR of the news story pages in the drop down from the Back/Forward buttons, but TWO of the Jon Hamm profile pages.
Ah, here's an interesting thing -- every time I go to a new page (Hamm's bio, for instance), then go back, there is suddenly one more instance of the previous page.
I've seen literally DOZENS of instances of one page loaded up in this Back/Forward drop-down history. Not the ideal situation, obviously. ;-)
See screen capture below, if that helps.
Thanks again! -
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: 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)

Edge Animate: Change URL, Back and Forward Buttons (JS window.history)
Hi,
I want to build complete homepages with edge animate and i am on a good way but i have only one problem.
A site built in Edge Animate seems to has fluently changes from site to site because it is only one site.
So i have to simulate the feeling of junping to next site ore move forward
An exaple: I have built a site with edge animate with the home button, info button and a contact button.
i can switch fluently from one to the other. so it seems that it is a complete homepage but when i am on contact or on info i cannot klick to the back button on the browser.
so i found on web that i can change the url state.
i made a symbol then made a click event and put the line ---> window.history.pushState("Foto", "Title", "/photo");
now the Url changes from "example.com" to "example.com/photo"
Now the problem: How can i say to edge animate, that when i click the back button on the browser that it hast to go to timeline on a label?????
Please answer me.
I am sleepless until i understand itAmong other things, you have a lot of code errors which modern browsers don't like. X-UA Compatible is necessary for IE browsers. So you can ignore that one. Or if you like clean code, put that meta tag inside an IE conditional comment.
The rest of these errors need attention.

Also, why are you using tables for layout? CSS is much more efficient.

Forward and back buttons don't work in Firefox but do everywhere else.
Make sure that you set those buttons to the default action in your mouse driver software (Control Panel > Mouse or specific Intellimouse driver software).

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.
