Formerly, the backspace key would take me back one page. now it does not. I can not figure how to restore that function..help me?

You've got the details, above. tnx

Your Ubuntu Linux distribution may be disabling this feature.<br />
You will have to reset this pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.

  • Ok.  I'm stumped.  The right side scroll bar on my pages documents disappears sometimes.  I don't know how to restore that function.  If I widen the page field, it will appear for a short time.  Very annoying if I am just using trackpad.  What to do?

    Ok.  I'm stumped.  The right side scrool bar on Pages documents disappears sometimes.  I have no idea why. Nor do I know how to get it back.  I've tried closing and reopening and restarting my macbook pro.  If I widen the right side, I get the scroll bar for just a few seconds and then if fades away.  I can't find anything it the help menus that fits it.

    geek,
    The scroll bar is consistent with the Full Screen approach in trying to maximize the working area of your screen. The scroll bar fades to make room for data. So, use your 2-fingered scroll or arrow keys for short moves. If you have a long way to scroll, the scroll bar will activate any time you scroll with the trackpad or the arrow keys and you can grab it and pull it to your desired position in the document.

  • There's a hard case I like for the ipod, but would like to back it with a clear silicone case on top, Is there a clear case that would actually fit over an all ready covered iPod?

    Double Layer Hybrid Hard Gel Case Cover for iPod Touch 5th Gen Built In Screen.  Plus, my thought was to find a great cover and keep it in my purse - i have a thick purse and don't hit people with it, so my ipod would be safe in there right?  I'm slightly concerned my screen would break as I don't know how easily breakable the screens are.  Input?  TIA

    Try here:

    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

  • Firefox opens Google link in the same tab (the way I like it), but I can't figure how to keep that and still have YouTube windows pop-up in a new tab. Help?

    Hello, here is my problem: reading your mozilla support, I learned how to make Firefox open links in Google results in the same tab, that's the way I like it, but I still like to have my YouTube windows pop-up in a new tab (I participate in one forum, when I come to the YouTube window in some topic, I usually click on a small right-down button "watch on YouTube", and that always opens video it in a new tab; all until latest few updates of Firefox). Can this issue be corrected in about:config feature, and how? Sorry if my English isn't so glorious.
    Thanks a lot for answering, and best regards...

    Hello. I have just tried this add-on you suggested, and no change.
    And no, there was no some other add-on before, not that I know about it. Mainly, I need this option while I'm on a forum (IP board powered), it is not really something so important, but it's neat function for me.
    So, to be more detailed - I read a certain topic on this forum, and some of the posts from other members contain YouTube screens (looking same as on the original YouTube page), showing the frame of a video.
    In earlier versions of Firefox, I used to click on a small YouTube logo button (right side, down, between "watch on full screen" and "watch later" buttons). Clicking on this button automatically opened new tab, leaving forum tab as it is, and in new tab original YouTube page, with that certain video. In the same time, in Google search page, when clicking on a link, all links were opening in the same tab.
    Now, after some of the latest updates of Firefox, I noticed that some default settings were changed - in Google search, clicking on a link always opens a link in a new tab. I have found out here on your forum how to set this back in about:config feature, and now I have again that links in a Google results page are opened in the same tab (that's the way I like it).
    But YouTube screens on this forum are now also being opened in the same tab, and that is what I don't like, and trying to change back.
    So, what I need: all links to open in the same tab after clicking, as I have it now, and YouTube screens (e. g. on this forum) to be opened in a new tab (by clicking on a small YouTube logo ("watch this video on YouTube").
    Pedantic I am, I know that, and I know that this may look silly to some people, but if there is a way to do something, please tell me.
    Thanks for answering, and best regards.
    P.S.
    Is it possible that forum updates changed my setting, and not the Firefox? Thanks again...

  • Accidently placed Iphoto in trash and took it back out. Now it does not work

    I accidently placed my iphoto in the trash and then removed it.  Now it will not work and none of my albums will show.  How do I fix this?

    What exactly did you put into the Trash? Your iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder or your iPhoto application from the Applications folder?
    Do you still see the iPhoto application in your Applications folder like this?
    And do you still have an iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder like this?
    Which of those did you trash?

  • I can no longer copy & paste a web page to an e-mail. It use to automatically underline it & you could click it & be immediately connected to the web page. Now it does nothing, I can't send anyone a link! Please help!

    please see what I wrote above thanks

    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.<br />

  • FireFox 8.0.1 does not work with most sites that functioned with no problems under earlier versions. I wish to uninstall and go back to an earlier version.

    The more I attempt to use FireFox 8.0.1 the more problems I have. I find considerable interference with the functioning of RoboForm, my bookmarks keep disappearing, many sites that worked fine earlier and work fine with the Opera browser do not work under version 8. Where can I download an earlier version of FireFox

    You can [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20Firefox?s=uninstall+firefox&r=0&as=s uninstall] Firefox 8 first before you downgrade to Firefox 7. However, when you uninstall, make sure that you '''don't''' choose the option "'''Remove my Firefox Personal Data'''".
    You can access a list of [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Previous Versions of Firefox], however, note that Firefox recommends using the latest version since older version may have security and safety vulnerabilities.
    '''P.S:''' it may be a good idea to create a Restore Point before you uninstall, in case you mess up, in which case you can just restore and start over.

  • Why does Firefox open another Start Page tab everytime I hit the home key (which take me to my homepage on the current tab)?

    When I hit the home key Firefox takes me back to my homepage (AOL) but also opens up a new Mozilla Firefox Start Page tab. I end up with a whole bunch of unwanted tabs.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == always

    Hello Ginna.
    Please check the following:
    Click on '''Tools> Options'''.
    Then click on '''General'''.
    Now, it should say: '''http://aol.com/''' (or similar), but please check if it has anything after that. For example, if there is a '''|''' after it, that tells FF to open up 2 pages when you hit the home button: AOL and the other page, which in this case is a blank page.
    If you see a '''|''' in there, go ahead and adjust it or remove it, if you'd like. If not, please report back here and let me know!

  • On my iMac running OS 10.6.8 (but not on my Macbook Air running Lion) the "go back one page" button retains a maximum of 5 prior websites. Is there any way to avoid that 5-page limit?

    On both computers, I'm running FF 7.0.1, but the problem has been with me on my iMac ever since FF 5. Both computers have the same add-ons, and as far as I can tell all settings are the same as well. But something obviously is limiting the number of pages that are retained in the "go back one page" history. I've searched in vain repeatedly for some setting that might explain the problem. I would appreciate any guidance you can provide. I've set forth below my list of extensions:

  • How do I stop backspace from going back one page?

    I am trying to play Evony but whenever I press backspace it dumps me out of the game and goes back to the logn page.
    I have tried adding an extension, but there are no how-to's telling me how tomake it work.
    It has taken me 20 mins to post this because every time I try and type in this box the page gets reloaded and corrupted & I have to start again. Safari keeps reloading a help section within the text box then hangs, then crashes.
    Ended up typing this in NOTEPAD and pasting it in.
    Think I'll use Any Other Broser TBH.

    OK, I have found that I cannot use Safari on this website!! I am now using Chrome to be ble to reply here!!
    Whenever I use Safari, this txt box gets filled in with a web page telling me something cannot be found, then the browser hangs, then crashes.
    Using Chrome, the backspace button does NOT navigate me back one page like it does in Safari.
    Add that to the fact that the Safari browser cannot visit the Apple page and you have my answer.
    DONT use Safari!!

  • I changed from english to spanish and then back to english and now it does not recognise english when i type emails. how do i get it back to english?

    i changed the lan uage of my iphone 3gs from english to spanish and then back to english. now it does not recognise enghlish but seems to be using a mix of languages. how do i get it back to english please?

    Please check in Settings: General: Keyboard: International Keyboards how many there are and which.
    If there is more than one you can either delete the ones that you don't use, or if you want to type on different ones at different times you can change between them using the key with a world that appears when you are using the keyboard.

  • Flash: After right clicking, left click causes browser to go back one page

    Flash version:MAC 10,1,102,64
    Operating system: Mac OS X 10.6.4
    Browser: Both Firefox and Safari
    Hello
    When I right click in a flash area / window, I can bring up the menu to access settings, global settings and the like. I can left click options on this menu, for instance, I can bring up the settings menu in the flash area.
    However, when I attempt to left click anywhere on the flash area after right clicking, my browser will go back one page. For instance, if I right click on the flash area, don't click any of the 'right-click menu' options, left click on flash-free area in the browser window, then my browser is fine...but if i then left click in the flash area my browser will take me back one page.
    This happens in both Safari and Firefox. I am not sure at what level this problem is on: OS, browser, or flash...but seeing as it happens on Safari and Firefox I assume it may be either a Flash or an OS problem.
    I've Googled for this but I can't find any similar questions...has this happened to anyone before?
    Cheers
