How to disable back and forward Swype in Firefox on android

back and forward gestures always done accidentally with the normal browsing, as it resembles exactly when you want to move to right or left of a large or desktop view of a web page.
there's also an excellent application (three finger Swipe) one can use effectively without any mistakes as it require three fingers Swype to launch an action, not one finger, exactly as the very normal browsing.

I have the same problem on a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 Android 4.1.1. on Firefox v23.
It says back or forward in some horizontal swipe/flick gestures in the middle/lower screen (black transparant popup, white text).
It's really annoying, because i'm prototyping with this gestures. And sometimes a swipe-action-left navigates to a earlier page instead of the page linked to the swipe-action-left. I disabled two finger gestures in about:config, but it didn't help of course.
I don't think it's related to the Samsung tab/Android version or TouchWiz?

  • Disable back and Forward button

    How could we make Browser Back and Forward buttons disable in JSP?.
    So that we just activate the buttons inside JSP page.
    Thanks

    see if the following line included in any of your common .js file to all pages helps.
    window.history.forward(1);
    buttons are not disabled but when you click on them action is not performed
    if you have no common .js file for all pages include follwing in all jsp pages and check out
    <script language=javascript>
    window.history.forward(1);
    </script>

  • How to disable graphics and/or java in Firefox 23.0.1

    In previous versions of Firefox, like 19.0, it is a simply matter to disable graphics and/or java. Simply go to Firefox "Tools", "Options", "Content", unclick "Load images Automatically", unclick "Enable JavaScript".
    With Firefox 23.0.1, I don't see that as a option. How do I easily disable and enable the graphics and javascript?
    I am aware that "Adblock" has some capabilities to do some of this. Although I find Adblock more complicated and have not been able to achieve my goals with it.
    This is very important to me.

    "In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox,"
    Are you kidding? so you mean to tell me that it helps users by requiring them to download third party addons(memory leaks and all) just to do something that use to be as simple as clicking a button?
    If i have to use untrusted third party add-ons that i need to download to my computer i may as well just ,i don't know, Download a new browser while im at it.
    If anything they should have just made it EASIER to find so users could EASILY undo what they EASILY done.
    it's hogwash to say "just use addons" I try to keep my add-ons and extensions to the bare necessities for a reason. And coming from a user who until recently was stuck with dialup(because there was no other options) the ability to remove images is key. That and if im in a public setting i don't want to put my facebook images on display.
    Overall, HUGE mistake by firefox.

  • Can I get three finger scroll to navigate back and forward pages in firefox like in OS X Snow Leopard?

    My only complaint so far about Lion.  It's like I have a new toy to play with, I'm just frustrated that the previous three finger scroll options are seemingly unavailable.
    Please help,

    found a solution ... working right now on my MacBook with OS X 10.6 and Firefox 3.6. Check out [http://christian.project-groove.com/downloadcomment4ff.htm http://christian.project-groove.com/downloadcomment4ff.htm]

  • I have to buttons that I cant remove. The button is on the left side of tabs and on the right side of the tabs. These arent back and forward buttons. When I go to customise they arent shown. How to remove it?

    I have two buttons that I cant remove. The button < is located on the left of the tabs and > is located on the right of the tabs. These aren't back and forward buttons. How can I remove them?

    Those buttons are used to scroll through the tabs if you have too many to display. If all of the tabs that you have open are visible, the buttons should not be displayed. If they are displayed all of the time there may be a problem with the theme that you are using.

  • Navigation "Back" and "Forward" buttons are inactive, they do not work at all. How do I fix this?

    I have downloaded the latest version of firefox and the navigation buttons in the browser will not work in any way. The "Back" and "Forward" buttons are completely un-usable.

    Toolbar misbehavior could be due to a problematic add-on (e.g., theme or extension), or a corrupted settings file. Next time you upgrade -- and for security reasons, it is highly recommended -- try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether you can pin it on an add-on or custom setting. You also could clear your toolbar settings.
    More info on Safe Mode:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
    Does the toolbar work correctly?

  • Firefox 8 and 9beta. Back and Forward buttons greyed out. Right click menu also has forward and back greyed out. Updated all plugins, then disabled all plugins and extensions and started in safe mode. No change.

    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 :)

  • How to use Preview.app 'Back' and 'Forward'

    I often have to read PDF articles with endnotes in Preview, so I need to quickly switch from a footnote in the text to the end of the document. I would like to use the 'Back' and 'Forward' shortcuts to move between a point in the footnotes and back to my place in the main text.
    But I can't figure out exactly how they work. For example. what defines the point you return to when you press 'forward' to the end of the text, and then 'back'? Do I have to click in the text, or remain in a particular part of the text for a certain amount of time before Preview sets that as a location to go back to (or forward from)?
    I've considered using Skim for PDFs with endnotes, as it has a split view that lets you view two parts of a PDF simultaneously. But I much prefer Preview's UI.

    Another solution would be to open two instances of Preview so you can read different pages of the docuemnt side by side.
    However, this is a little more complicated. Once the document is open, you have to start Terminal and enter
    "open -n "
    and then drag the file from the Finder into the terminal window which will add the filename and its path.
    The result should look like
    "open -n /Users/xxx/Desktop/file.pdf"
    then press return and you get a second instance of Preview.

  • 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

  • The back and forward arrow, the house icon and the refresh icon are missing. How do I find them, thanks

    The back and forward arrows are missing, as are the house icon and the refresh icon. All that goes in that area. Can you tell me how to find them? Thanks

    This article will help you restore them - [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]

  • I want the reload button to appear outside the address bar (on the left, next to the back and forward buttons), not at the extreme end of the address bar. How can I do this?

    I want to re-position the reload button to appear outside the address bar (on the left, next to the back and forward buttons), not where it is at the moment, which is at the extreme end of the address bar and is a real hassle to use. How can I do this?

    To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    * Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise (Space or Separator) to get two distinct buttons.

  • How can I get back and forward arrows like EI

    How can I get back and forward arrows?

    Is this about Firefox on a desktop computer as your user agent would suggest (the thread is tagged as Firefox OS)?
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
    *Firefox menu button > Options
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
    *check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

  • History , Back and forward button to be disabled for some pages

    Hi ,
    There are buttons ( history, back and forward) just below the top level navigation in portal.
    Is there a way that some pages can be restricted in History , Back and Forward operations so that some pages cannot be captured with history , back or forward actions in portal.
    Best Regards
    Sid

    Hi Siddharth,
    If we open our framework page there is something called Page title bar. This contains History, Back and Forward button. If we make it disable it'll not be visible in our portal.
    So according to your requirement you can create a new framework page and can make changes in that framework page. Assign this framework page to a portal desktop and use it where you want.
    Please reward the points if it is useful.
    thanks,
    pankaj
