"Go Back One Page" doesn't work on first page visited from Home Page

When opening FF4.0, my homepage opens fine. Whether I manually type a webpage address, use a book mark from list or button bar, once that page opens, the "Go Back One Page" button is still gray and the only way to get back home is to click the "Home" button.
I tried restarting program and it did not correct anything. I next tried restarting computer and that did not do anything either.
My system: Core2Quad Q8400 with 8G RAM. BIOS is up to date, as well as all drivers for all hardware.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately browser cache wasn't the problem. I use Firefox(default), IE and Opera for testing and I close the browser most of the times after I deploy the project. Even tough if I don't close the browser I hit the ctrl+f5 several times to avoid the cache problems. I tryed setting the browser to check newer versions every time I open the page, but that didn't help either.
Like I said the problem occurs in our public deployment server too with everybody who enters the page first time in each session. After login they get the pages with stylesheet within and if they logout they will be redirected to same login page and the stylesheet is loaded correctly. Then if they restart the browser and try to login the application again, they will be faced the same problem.
Is there anything else I can try?

Well, shut my mouth! There was a similar question over to the right about a 6th generation nano repeating over and over again -- I read the answer to that one, followed the instructions, and holy crap, it's back to normal.
Is there a name for this when you end up replying to your own aggravating question? That's what I did. Now I can go out and listen. It's only 91 degrees. Heaven. Thanks, Apple.

The "Go back one page" button on the Navigation toolbar doesn't work on certain web pages.

== Issue
==
Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
== Description
==
The "Go back one page" button on the Navigation toolbar doesn't seem to work on certain pages. On clicking this button, the focus stays on the same page and does not move to the previous page. The previous page does not appear even in the right-click context menu of the Back button. However, I am able to go back one page using Internet Explorer.

Try to open the right-click context menu of the Back button and see if you can go back further.
The current active entry in that list has a bullet in front of it.
If you hover an entry in that session history list then it shows the direction by adding an arrow at the left.
You can left click an item to open it in the current tab or middle-click or Ctrl left-click an entry in that list to open that link in new tab, just like you can with other links.

"Go back one page" button - for some reason doesn't work

For some reason, multiple pages are showing up - duplicates of the page that I'm viewing, so when I click on the "go back one page" button nothing happens - I'm required to right click on the button and select the actual last page that I want to view, again.
Stated another way, why are multiple pages listed/included under the "go back one page" button - I'm thinking this is a new 'feature' that is not good, at all.

The 'go back one page' button does not work on all pages

The 'go back one page' and 'go froward one page' buttons do not work (they're light gray as opposed to dark gray) and neither does the 'back' button after right clicking. They worked fine in Firefox 3 but do not in version 4

Click '''Help '''| '''Restart with add-ons disabled '''and then in the menu which appears, checkmark ''Reset toolbars and Controls'', then ''Make changes and restart''.

Go back one page does not work

Since I had to reinstall Firefox 3.6.15, the "go back one Page" does not work in many cases. Sometimes by clicking on history and manually returning, it works. Id there a fix for this problem, because it is new.

You can only get those pictures from the other PC. Pictures that have been synced from a computer via iTunes are not in the iPhone backup. You have to get them from the other PC, not other choice.

If I open another URL from my homepage, the "go back one page" button is grayed out so I can't get back to my home page.

This problem only started recently.
Opening another web page (URL) from my homepage always opens in the same tab and the "go back one page" button is gray and does not work. If I open a series of web pages in the same tab the green "back" button is green. Clicking on the "recent pages" down arrow will allow me to go back, but only to the page after the home page.
In other words, after browsing, I can get back to the opening page (my home page) only by clicking on the house icon but not by using the "recent pages" function.
Is there an option that changed after the last update?

Do you see any tab history if you right click the Back or Forward button?

HT1222 I just wish we had a "backwards" half circle to hit when we need to go back one page. Does anyone else feel the same way? How did I find this page anyway?

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

Can Firefox 6 be configured to remember more than 5 prior pages for each tab so that the "go back one page" feature will allow me to retrace my steps as many as 20 pages back?

Before Firefox 5, the "go back one page" history would show 10 or more prior pages for each tab, so that I could go back quite a way in retracing my browsing steps. With Firefox 5.0.1 and 6, however, the list of prior pages seems to have been capped at 5. I would like to configure Firefox to remember 20 or 25 prior pages for each tab. Is there any way to do that?

(1) Firefox's built-in post-crash page has not been a real HTML page for a long time (for example, from the time of Firefox 22, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968212 Want to save LOTS of versions of "Restore Session.xht" from the "oops ..." page for later use]). If you had this working differently with Firefox 25, that might have been created by an extension.
You can check to see whether extensions are disabled or need an update on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled extensions cluster toward the bottom of the list. To poll for updates, use the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
If you used the Reset feature (or Firefox automatically did a reset due to some problem during upgrading), you will need to reinstall missing extensions. The reset feature creates a folder on the desktop named Old Firefox Data. Do you have that folder? There may be data you can recover from it.
(2) There are many ways for history to get cleared, both internal to Firefox and external. Could you double-check your Privacy settings?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Remember History: Firefox shouldn't be clearing history, but an add-on or external software could do it
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Use custom settings for history: inspect the "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting to make Firefox isn't set to clear history. Also check your add-ons and consider external software.
Firefox normally accumulates months of history. However, some of Firefox's database sizes are based on disk space available. If your hard drive is very full, Firefox might reduce the amount of history stored.

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!!

How do I stop my mouse's middle click button to go back one page in Firefox?

When I click my mouse wheel or middle button on an empty space, it should let me place a scroll the page marker so then I can scroll the page up or down depending on where I move my mouse. It still does that but now it also make me go back one page. I don't have any extension related to it. I am using Logitech M325 mouse and Firefox 30.0.

HI chibuki,
Thank you for your question. I am not sure why this is happening, but I can help find out!
The middle mouse button should do this: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mouse-shortcuts-perform-common-tasks]

The Back button only allows me to go back one page at a time instead of selecting a previous page from a drop-down list. This is a real problem: anyone have any ideas?

In the previous version of Firefox, I could go back to a previous webpage by clicking on a part of the Back button which brought up a list of recently visited sites, and by clicking one of these, could jump straight back to that page. This facility does not seem to be available in the latest Firefox, and the Back button only goes back one page at a time. This is really inconvenient, as,
it now takes longer to get to an earlier page
there is no visibility of previous pages visited
any actions carried out on webpages are undone when going back through them - this does not happen when jumping back several pages in one go.
This is a real problem as I used to the old system constantly, and cannot continue to use Firefox 4.0 unless there is a way around it.

For me, I have the same question, this is a poorly done upgrade and I want to go back to 3.6

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:
- Abine 0.739
- Adblock Plus 1.3.10
- Add-on Compatibility Reporter 0.9.2 (Disabled)
- Apture 2.0.0 (Disabled)
- AutoPager 0.7.0.0
- Awesome screenshot: Capture and Annotate 2.3.3
- Backward/Forward History Dropdown 0.2.3 (Disabled)
- Better Gmail 2 1.2
- BetterPrivacy 1.67
- Boomerang for GMail 1.0
- CoolPreviews 3.5
- DictionarySearch 7.0.0
- Download Statusbar 0.9.8
- Extension List Dumper 1.15.2
- Google Docs Viewer 1.8 (Disabled)
- Googlebar Lite 4.7.11
- Greasemonkey 0.9.11
- Jureeka! 4.0
- LastPass 1.75.0
- NoSquint 2.1.2
- OptimizeGoogle 0.78.2
- PDF Download 3.0.0.2 (Disabled)
- Read It Later 2.1.3
- Readability 1.11 (Disabled, Incompatible)
- Safari View 1.3.4 (Disabled, Incompatible)
- Save as PDF 1.5 (Disabled)
- Screenshot Pimp 3.4 (Disabled, Incompatible)
- Session Manager 0.7.7 (Disabled)
- Shorten URL (Bit.ly) 0.68
- Show my Password 2.0
- Stylish 1.2.3
- Tab History Menu 2.1.1 (Disabled)
- Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.6
- Test Pilot 1.2
- Thumbnail Zoom 1.4.3
- TinEye Reverse Image Search 1.1 (Disabled)
- TooManyTabs 1.3.7 (Disabled)
- Unwrap Text 0.5.4
- URL Fixer 3.1
- Xmarks 4.0.0

I finally found a solution. In about:config, under browser.sessionhistory.max_entries, I changed 5 to 20. End of problem.
