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.

I downloaded the new version of firefox, now my flash player wont work, the html text box is gone and so is the back and forward buttons. please help??

I downloaded the new version of firefox, now I cant watch any movies, the html text box is totally gone, and so is the back and forward website buttons, please help? can i just have the old version back?

Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.

I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using

I downloaded Firefox 3.6 and now my tool bar is gone. No back arrows, forward arrows, file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools....how do I get my web browser to look like a regular browser again?

I downloaded the new Mozilla web browser and I had a Bing homepage setting. I changed back to yahoo but I ever since downloading I dont have any back arrows, forward arrows, file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools, address bar....how do I get my web browser to look like a regular browser again?

For details of how to restore the menus see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing]
Once the menus are back, you can use the View menu, then select Toolbars and click on the names of the toolbars to toggle displaying them.

The back and forward buttons on Logitech mouse don't work

My logitech performance MX back and forward buttons don't work. I tried in safe mode and they still don't work. I tried creating a custom shortcut in logitech setpoint and that didn't work either. I tried using the native mouse driver and not logitech. No luck.
I really like this functionality. Is there a way to enable these buttons?

Hi mike,
i'm not sure if this will help but how about this add-on called "Vimperator". It is easy to use and works like vim. (Try this as an alternate till we figure out the problem) :)
Hope that helped.

With version 5 of Firefox, if I open more than 1 session, most of the time I cannot see anything in the navigation bar and my back and forward buttons do not work.

I open 1 session of Firefox 5.0.1 and everything seems to work fine. Then I open a second session of Firefox and most of the time the navigation bar does not show the page that I am on and the back and forward buttons do not work. When this happens, the first session always remains working. I am an internet marketer so I have at least 2 or 3 sessions going at any given time.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How do I change the color of the back and forward arrow to green

In Windows 7 the color of the back and forward page arrow is blue.
On my desktop computer using Windows XP the color of the back and forward page arrow is green. This is much easier on my eyes.
Is there a way to change the color to green in Windows 7?

Firefox on Windows XP uses a different default theme than Firefox on Vista & 7. Try using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7119/ XP on Vista] theme, this should replicate the XP theme on Windows 7.

How can I make appear the arrow-button that showed the recent history of a same tab (next to back and forward buttons)?

for instance, if I searched a word on google, then clicked on a certain page of the results, then inside that page I entered a link, etc if I wanted to "go back" directly to the instance of google searching I could click on this arrow-button and I would be able to choose that exact moment instead of clicking several times on the "back" till I reached the desired past page

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
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:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

Can't go back or forward more than one page at a time, what happened to the little arrow that allowed you to go back several pages at once.

some websites disable the back button. older versions of firefox i could hit the little arrow on the right of the forward button and it would display several back pages so i could choose which one to go back or forward to. now i go back as far as a disabled page and can't go any further. this is really annoying to lose a feature that i used all the time

There are three options to access the history: (1) Click and hold the back button. (2) Right click the back button (3) If you really want the dropmarker back, install an addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/.
Hope that helps:)

Two finger "back" of "forward" swipe in Safari won't work on PDF web pages.

This is a problem that carries forward from OSX 10.6 when using the swipe gesture on the magic mouse for browsing "back" and "forward" in Safari. It now continues with the mouse and on the track pad in 10.7. When viewing PDF web pages the 'back" and "forward" swipe gestures work only sometimes, and when they do work, it requires a much faster swipe. There are no issues associated with clicking on the back and forward buttons at the top left corner of Safari, so this appear to be isolated to gestures. Is there any solution to correct this inconsistency?
Thanks,
Marc

Indeed, swiping back from pdf pages sometimes works, but most often does not.
It seems that the swiping gesture has in all cases changed slightly. It is now necessary to swipe a little until a portion of the previous page is uncovered, and only then can one swipe back.
The fact that there is a specific way to swipe back from html pages suggests that there might be an equally specific way to swipe back from pdf pages. I am still experimenting. Meanwhile make sure no one is sitting to your right in case your trackpad flies off during a gesture trial.

In the new version there's no little arrow with back or forward so you can go back several pages in one click. I use that a lot. How can I get it back?

I've just upgraded Firefox and no longer have little arrows by the back and forward buttons on the toolbar. This means I can only click back or forward one page at a time. I used to be able to click on the arrow, see a list of previous pages and then go back (or forward) several pages with one click. I looked at adding the History button to the tool bar but that's not as convenient.

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

In the upper part of Firefox there is normally a box to type in URL's. I have lost that box/area. Along with that I have no back of forward buttons to view the last/next internet pages. Can you help?

I have lost the box on the top part of the Firefox page where one types in a URL. Along with that, I have no back or forward buttons. Help please

I have lost my address bar. Also I have no back or forward buttons any more. How do I get them back?

I no longer have an address bar. I no longer have a Back button- forward button, Home icon.
What happened? How can I get these important features back?
I miss my old Mozilla Firefox
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a week ago?

What a test of whits! I did retrieve my address bar and thank you kindly - question is WHY DID I LOOSE IT?

My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer?

My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer? I have enough space on my hard drive, I have the new version of itunes and iphone software, and have tried restarting my computer several times. I ran apple diagnostics which found no issues! I'm not sure how to resolve this issue, please help me.

I kept getting this last week. Really annoying. I found this solution:
Remove (delete) ALL photos and videos from your iphone. Reboot it. Connect to your pc again.
This worked for me, however I've since taken some more pics and it doesn't sync again, so I'm not sure what permanent solution there is, although I've read lots of technical ones by googling it.

Mouse back and forward buttons don't work

I have a Dell wireless bluetooth mouse. I installed Safari 4, and I like it a lot. I am thinking of ditching IE, but the back and forward buttons on my mouse don't do anything in Safari. It's very frustrating having to click the back button on screen instead of directly on my mouse. The buttons work perfectly in IE and in Windows explorer. I reinstalled the mouse drivers, but to no avail. Any ideas?

Did u get any software for your mouse? What brand is your mouse? I have Logitech setpoint software, where I can adjust mouse profile, setup mouse buttons action... I also have option (checkbox) to make my mouse use windows generic settings (the one you have in Control Panel under mouse section.
Now, this is just an idea, but it's good start point.
What you can also do (if you have such software installed) to uninstall it, restart, and see if Safari back/forward will work. Maybe this software (for some bizarre reason) conflicts Safari default action (as you said you don't have such problem in Fx)
Let me know if this worked for you.
Cheers,
Miki
EDIT: Before you do all this, maybe it's easier for you (if possible) to try another mouse, to see if you have same issues or not
