Going back a page or a few

hey there, Im just wondering, when i right click on the back and forward buttons in safari 2.0, is there a way to have the menu come up on the history of what pages i've been to? instead of just "Remove Item" and "Keep Item Visible". I saw it on a mac mini at work that has safari, and is on 10.3.9 where it has the listings of previous sites, how can i get that going on mine?

Yeah I just figured this one out a few days ago on my own. It bugged me for about two months because I thought Apple got rid of that function...luckily, they didn't.

  • When I use find, Firefox does not let me complete typing the word. Keystrokes effect the page as opposed to the find box (ex. backspace goes back a page instead of a character in the box). How do I fix this?

    When I type in the Find box, Firefox interrupts me before I complete typing the word (usually in the first 4 letters. "Focus" moves from the Find entry box to the page itself. If I type backspace Firefox goes back one page of browsing, not one character in the box. I disabled Searchmenu, but that did not help.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The last month or so, I'm not sure of the specific trigger.

    Thanks for responding Chris.
    I hadn't restarted after disabling SearchMenu. Having restarted, it would appear that the problem was, in fact, SearchMenu. Which was my suspicion. Once Find highlights a "word" SearchMenu interrupts to offer its services. I guess I'll post on their board, to see if there's a solution.
    I should have restarted before posting. My apologies. Rookie move.
    Thanks again, Chris.

  • After I set a repeating alarm clock to off, it goes back to on after a few seconds.

    After I set a repeating alarm clock to off, it goes back to on after a few seconds. What is happening and how do I fix it? I have an iPod touch, 4th generation, iOS 5, no jailbreak whatsoever.

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • How can I disable the touchpad and mouse shortcuts for go back a page? I keep accidentally going back a page and losing tons of data because of it.

    I've looked in both Windows 7's system options and Firefox options for ways of disabling this autoshortcut for going back a page, but there doesn't seem to be one. I'll be using the touchpad, sliding my fingers across, when I somehow activate a shortcut for "Go Back a Page" and end up losing tons of data on a form or chat or game.

    You can set mousewheel.with*.action pref(s) like mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action to 0 to perform a scroll.
    mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action
    mousewheel.withnokey.action
    mousewheel.withshiftkey.action
    mousewheel.withaltkey.action
    mousewheel.withmetakey.action

  • Mighty mouse randomly goes back a page in Safari???

    So I have a 2 month old iMac which came with the very sleek and sexy new mighty mouse. As comfortable as it is, I want to throw out a window. It randomly goes back a page on me all the time (even once as I was writing this very topic!!) as if i had right-clicked and chosen back. But I didn't, I swear it! No menu ever shows, and I can never ever repeat it on purpose. Doesn't seem to happen in Firefox for some reason but I don't use it often and again, can't make the issue occur. I have lost so much written text and time to this and am about to go back to the previous magic mouse. I cannot figure out why this keeps happening. Also finding the mouse absurdly sensitive in general no matter how the settings are configured.
    Is this happening to anyone else?? Any ideas why?? Thanks.
    (sorry if this should be posted elsewhere but there's no section for accessories as far as I could see)

    It's been 24 hours since I fixed the disk permissions and reset safari with no repeat incidents (fingers crossed)! Thanks so much! Seems so obvious but I was convinced it was the mouse itself. Thanks again

  • Right click goes back one page

    Anytime I right click Firefox goes back one page. This is really annoying for several reasons. I can't copy anything or spell check. Also my middle finger when resting on the mouse frequently clicks the right click button when I don't want it to, which just happened, so I've had to retype this whole thing. I can't seem to find any answers online. I've check plugins, extensions and options with no joy.

    Is this problem a recent development or has Firefox always done this?
    If it's fairly new, can you associate it with any software changes, such as an update to Firefox or your add-ons, or an update to Windows, or an update to your mouse-related software?
    Firefox has a built-in shortcut for the Backspace key returning to the previous page. For a mouses/trackball with extra buttons, one of them often is configured as a Back button. Shouldn't be the right button, but... As a diagnostic, could you disable that and see whether it makes any difference? Here's how:
    (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 '''back''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.backspace_action''' preference and change the value from 0 to 2 (or anything other than 0 or 1) and then click OK.
    Any difference?

  • Safari keeps going back a page while typing in text on web sites

    While on any web site typing in the text boxes and when veiwing web pages, Safari goes back a page by its self. Does anyone know what to do or is this thing disfunctional after year. I tried going back to my wireless keyboard but still does it. I real be real lucky to finish typing this before it goes back and I lose what I have typed.  I am just about ready to go to Best Buy or HP web site and purchase a new HP I7 with Windows 7

    Try deleting your Safari preference file...
    Quit Safari and go to ~/Library/Preferences/ folder ("~" represents your user folder) and delete all .plist files that belong to Safari. I think the file name is com.safari.plist or something similar. Just drag the file to the trash. Relaunch Safari and test if the issue is still happening.
    A word of caution, when you delete your Safari plist file you'll have to reset all your browser settings as they will return to the delfault.
    If you keep having problems I suggest reinstalling Safari from the Apple Website.
    Download Safari 5.1.2 for Mac
    Hope this helps!

  • The back button goes back 2 pages, when choosing a bookmark the item under it (on the desktop) is selected

    After upgrading to 3.6.11 The back button sometimes goes back 2 pages, The Bookmarks window just flashes when trying to open it, when it does stays open if an item is selected that item is not opened, the item beneath it on say, my home page is opened.

  • Firefox 'freaks out' by going back several pages or zooming in or out when filling in a text form on a website

    == Issue
    ==
    I have another kind of problem with Firefox
    == Description
    ==
    At different websites, when I try to type a message into a text form box (Example: Fark.com comments section) the firefox browser will somehow move back 5-6-7 pages as if I had hit the back button by typing in the form. It happens on different websites. Sometimes instead of going back it zooms in or out tremendously. It happens one or two times per form and then just stops and lets me type in the text. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen at least a two times a day. What gives?!
    == This happened

    A few times a week

  • I need to disable the delete key from going back a page.

    My son is doing online homeschooling. If he is taking a quiz and accidentally hits the delete key to correct a word in his answer the page goes back and he is kicked out of the quiz. I need to disable this function in Safari to protect him from this. Please help.

    HI John,
    That would require remapping. This thread has some links available that may help.
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11553590
    Possibly http://www.hotkey.com. You can assign Command + Backspace as a shortcut for Delete.

  • 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!!

  • In Firefox 4, back button only goes back 1 page at a time. how can i go back further with one click?

    in Firefox 3.6.10, i could click an arrow next to the back button for a drop down menu of previously visited pages. in Firefox 4, i can only go back one page at a time. has it been removed in the new version or am i just overlooking it?
    in case you've taken it out, would you consider replacing it? sometime a page won't let you go back no matter how many times you hit the back arrow.
    thank you!

    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

  • How do I get Firefox 4 to show the last several pages visited instead of only going back one page at a time? It used to show last 10 or so pages with a down arrow. The down arrow is gone.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/816789]</blockquote><br>
    In Firefox 3.6 the back arrow button to go back a page also had a down arrow button that would let you jump back multiple pages. How can I get that to show in Firefox 4?

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:
