History malfunction: "forgets" first page

Ever since a few versions of FireFox 3.6 and also with the new FireFox 4, I notice that the History is malfunctioning:
For some reason, it keeps forgetting the first page of the session.
So, for example:
I start at google.com
And then I go to mozilla.com, I can't press the Previous button to go back to google.com.
So I have to use the History panel, sorting the pages on time visited, to go back 1 page...
This happens for every site, at any time.

This also has been hapening to me with Firefox 4. It is not restricted to the 1st page in the session though, each time I open a new tab Firefox forgets the 1st page in that new tab if I navigate away from that page.

  • "Open Link in New Tab" doesn't remember first page in history

    I recently noticed that the "Open Link in New Tab" is not remembering the very first page in the tab history. The replication is simple.
    # Go to any page (Google works well)
    # Right click and chose to open a link on the page in a new tab
    # On the new tab, left click a link to load a new page
    # The "Go back one page" button will remain grey and you will not be able to go back to the first page for the tab.
    # Left click another link and the "Go back one page" button will now be active allowing you to go to the previous page, but not all the way back to the first page of the tab.
    This happens whether I use the middle mouse or a right click and chose open in new tab. It is present since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0, but was also happening before the upgrade when I was using Firefox 3.6.

    I have the same problem. There are two other problems that might be related. The first one is, sometimes it seems like Firefox loses focus of the page so if I try to refresh the page using CTRL-R or the refresh button, nothing happens. The only way to refresh the page is to hit CTRL-L and Enter as it you're opening the page again. The second problem happens when another window is opened (e.g. new window, new bookmark window from CTRL-SHIFT-B). When you go back to the original window, everytime you go to the tab that the new window was opened from, somehow Firefox brings the window to the front, but the focus is still on the tab.

  • History of first page in new tab is not recorded

    1) I open a new tab and a page displays (homepage, whatever), 2) I go to a new page under the same tab, 3) I go to another new page under the same tab. The Problem Is: The page in step 1) never gets recorded in the page history. I can never use the "back" arrow to get to that first page. It never shows up in the page history of that tab. I know it used to record that first page but it doesn't anymore. What's up?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

  • HT203167 ive accidentally deleted an app off the first page of my phone, and i cant remember what it is. ive checked the app purchased history and none of the apps there match. Where could it be? And how can i find it?

    Hi,

    Then why does it show the pdf files as book covers with different colours and then as they are scanned, switches to the first page?

  • Long time to load a first page, get "the connection has timed out" frequently.

    Frequently takes a long time to get to first page. Even a "speed test" to check my DSL connection. Usually can get to "google.com" quickly but it did come up slow today (just a test for a simple page).
    I have a wireless N router with it's own Firewall (which I didn't want) and I think I've turned it off. Symantec firewall, don't think WinXP firewall is on.
    Tried refresh of Adobe Flash Player per suggestion in this forum, no help.
    Would like to have a tool to see how long each step of getting to the web takes so I can see if there's a bottleneck.
    Occasionally "try again" button works on the "connection has timed out" message.
    My PC is 6 yr old. xp-home, lots of ram, HDD available. Run Symantec AV/MBAM frequently. Ran Housecall and Dr. Web- no problems.
    Talked to my DSL provider and Symantec in depth. Similar lethargy when I get IE running but not as frequent as under FF. Measured my DSL speed - 5MB as promised.
    When the lag occurs, Task Manager does not show FF taking a lot of processor time.
    Have done the things suggested in FAQ to help with performance.
    Also going to bleepingcomputer.com to see if there are suggestions there.
    I'm hoping someone has experienced an analog to this and has a suggestion to diagnose and solve. Thanks - Mike.

    Here's your sign! This is my problem and its solution. Let me know if someone needs help to interpret.
    If you frequently get "connection timed out", go to your ISP and get Manual DNS addresses. Then beat them till they put a real fix on their system.
    Problem is in the DNS server service provided by my DSL provider, Bell South/AT&T. Result of a poor performing DNS is that one can't get thru to the selected site.
    If you do a web search +dsl +"time out" you will see the history with Windstream. THEY finally issues a system-wide fix which, it appears, flattened the issue. Then add +AT&T to see that experience. I did not read it all thru, I'm wasted chasing this problem. I don't give AT&T ANY credit for customer service or heading off problems for their customers on this one.
    AT&T support offers me:

    How do I check and update my DNS settings, if my DNS settings are not "server assigned"?
    When you visit a Web site, your browser sends the site's alphabetic domain name to a DNS server. The DNS server translates the domain into a numeric IP address, then responds to your computer with the Internet location of the Web site. Incorrect DNS settings on your computer can disrupt this information flow and cause your Internet browsing to slow down or fail.
    If you have trouble browsing the Internet, check your DNS settings. You likely have your DNS settings as "server-assigned." This allows DNS information to be automatically sent to your computer, which may improve your browsing experience. However, you may need to have your DNS settings manually entered
    Note: If you are using a router to connect to your Internet service, check with your manufacturer's web site for instructions on updating your DNS settings with the following information:
    Primary DNS: 68.94.156.1
    Secondary DNS: 68.94.157.1
    1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel from the menu.
    2. Select Network and Internet Connections.
    3. Double-click the Network Connections icon at the lower right.
    4. Under the LAN or High-Speed Internet section, right-click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties.
    5. From the "Components checked are used by this connection" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click the Properties button.
    6. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected, you do not need to update your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
    7. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
    8. Click OK.
    9. Return to the Network Connections screen. If you have a DSL Connection icon in the Broadband section, proceed to next step otherwise you have completed updating your DNS settings.
    10. Under the Broadband section, right-click the DSL Connection icon and select Properties.
    11. Select the Networking tab.
    12. From the "This connection uses the following items" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
    13. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected you do not need to up date your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
    14. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
    15. Click OK.
    ================================= end quote.
    So it appears I can't put screen shots in here. Well I hope you get the gist.
    In fact this is a bit hosed up.
    It says if you user "automatic dns" you're OK, that's opposite of my experience.
    I changed to the specified DNS addresses and things seem 99.9% fixed.
    I also changed my Router (wireless) settings.
    If there's a survey of my experience here I'll take it.

  • When I print a web page it only prints the first page and not the rest of the web page below the page break.

    When I print a web page firefox will only print the first page, all of the content to the first page break and nothing past that.
    How can I change the settings so that it will print more than on page?

    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
    -> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache, Site Preferences''' -> click "Clear Now"
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

    First page of what? I assume that you are talking about Safari and not a book in iBooks, the Kindle app or the Nook app.
    Clear Safari in Settings>Safari>Clear History and website data. Then reset the iPad by holing down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • Safari Really Slow To Load First Page on Startup

    I'm using Safari 4.0 on OS 10.4 on a PPC. When I first launch Safari, it takes a really long time, several minutes, to load the first page which is Google.

  • Can I open directly to first page, and not the title/TOC?

    Can I open directly to first page, and not the title/TOC? We're using HTML5 content for multiple platforms. It works fine, but takes three steps to get to it. We'd like for the book to start immediately with our imported widget. The current process is clunky for the user. Thank you.

    Coincidentally i use Google also ..but i wouldn't like to change it...thanks.. your answer it's being helpful. I solved the problem by changing my Firefox preferences : 1.-PRIVACY 2.- Remember history mode.
    Anyway i still think that shouldn't work this way when you are in "Never remember history " mode.

  • How to disable history from new tab page without disabling the new tab page entirely?

    As the title states. I have read countless questions on this and none ever give a working answer. So I will try again. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that even though I delete my browsing history after every time, my browsing history still shows up on the new tab page. Which proves that Firefox is actually NOT deleting my browsing history like it says. So how do I STOP that from happening? I don't want my browsing history to show up anywhere. At all. Ever. For any reason. Is that impossible with Firefox? That would put it in first place for world's worst browser if your browsing history is permanent like mine is right now. Huge security hole much?? So how do I make it stop once and for all. But I still want the new tab page there, but ONLY with the sites I have pinned to it. Nothing else. EVER.

    First off, let's start by updating you to the latest Firefox, 32.0.3. ([[Update Firefox to the latest version]]). Firefox 20, which you are running, is suspect to MANY security issues (including one fixed just yesterday that affects the entire internet and allows websites to pretend to be any website they want to be), plus it has it's own bugs and issues in Firefox itself.
    After you've updated, let's see if we can't get this sorted out. Are you saying that when you clear your history the new tab page doesn't clear? Are you using the default new tab page or do you have any new tab page add-ons installed?

  • How do I display text only in the first page inXML Publisher

    Hi everybody,
    I've been reading so much, on the last two days, on this issue at this forum but I didn't get an answer. My problem is: In an invoices report some text and fields from the invoice header, (such as payment terms, bank details etc.), should be printed only in the first page of the invoice, (If the invoice has more than one page). These elements are not in the document header/footer but in the document body. That's why I think the different fist page of MS Word will not work. I tried also <? start@first-page:body ?>, with no success. Any idea, someone?
    Thanks,
    Shimon

  • How can I print only the first page of multiple PDF files at once in my PC?

    That is, without having to open each file individually.
    Thanks!

    Create an Action with the following JS command:
    this.print({bUI: false, nStart: 0});
    This will cause the first page of all the files you process with this Action to be sent to your default printer.
    If you need to specify more complex parameters, you'll need to use a more complex code...

  • Refresh First page after returning from a framed pop-up window

    HI Can anyone help me on this technical problem.
    I have got one mainpage and from there i'm calling a popup with two frames (left, right). At frame right i'm populating the tableview.
    So when i submit(button) in tableview(right), the table contents has to be replicated in the first page and the popup has to be closed. So far it has be done successfully.
    The problem is when i return to the first page the page is not getting <b> refreshed automatically</b>. FYI, i'm not using mvc for performance reasons.
    So i need your help on how to refresh the first page, after control passes from popup.
