I lose the back button after a time (about 45mins). Any help?

I lose my back button (upper left on tool bar) after about 45 minutes on line
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several months ago

I was referring to the search box in Google's page. I also use the search box to the right of the address box up on the navigation toolbar. I never search from the address area itself. Is that where it is getting blanked out?
It's probably not a problem with Windows. More likely you have an add-on that is causing the problem. You can restart in Firefox's Safe Mode to test that theory.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/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, this article describes how to start in Safe Mode from various versions of Firefox:
[https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode].
If that works as expected/intended/designed, then one of your add-ons likely is the problem.

  • Sometimes the url's don't update so when you press the "back button" it sends you to the home page instead of the last page visited

    A friend of mine has this webblog and I have never had problems viewing it before I downloaded the new version of firefox. However, once I downloaded the new version, I noticed that every time I press the "back button" after viewing a picture, it sends me back to the blog home page instead of the last page I was on or that I viewed. This also happens with some of the standard websites I visit not just the blogs.

    Right click the Back button and select the page you want to go back to.

  • Problem with the back button in the Alv ouput

    i have  refresh button in output of my alv report when i click on this it is getting refreshed ,now the problem is with the back button after refresh whn i click on back button it is not going to selection screen , i have to  click  the back button thrice  to come out to the selection screen ,if have refreshed  the ouput  screen twice .
    if i dont refresh the back button is working fine , So i have used "call to selection screen 1000" it coming  to selection screen without any problem  but in selection screen on clicking on back button it is again going back to output screen ,So please suggest what has to be done here .

    Hi Brahmananda,
    Please try to understand the flow of program and the screen navigation
    the click of BACK button triggers PAI and (to the best of my knowledge) you might have called the ALV screen number without any checks ( may be) so it is again taking to the ALV.
    try using
    in PAI
    module exit at exit-command
    in program
    module exit
    case ok_code
    when 'BACK'.
    LEAVE PROGRAM ( or any thing that you want it to be )
    endcase
    endmodule

  • How to disable  browser back button after session logout..

    Hi;
    I want to restrict the user to use the back button after session expired or logout. By doing the session expired we are restricting the user to do any new work but I want to restrict the user to see the back pages that he surfed previously in the session.
    Is there any method to disable the browser back button after the session Expired?
    please help me to find out the solution..
    Thanks in advance.
    With Regards,
    Haramohan

    One possible way is automatic return to the current page by writing the following Javascript code to the previous page:
    <script language=JavaScript>
    function backButtonOverride(){
    setTimeout("backButtonOverrideBody()", 1);
    function backButtonOverrideBody(){
    try {
    history.forward();
    } catch (e) {}
    setTimeout("backButtonOverrideBody()", 100);
    </script>
    <%
    catch(Exception e){
    %>
    <jsp:forward page="front.jsp"></jsp:forward>
    <%
    %>

    Sorry, possibly you need a new hard drive or try reformating. First
    you can try something like http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/  it has been known to repair disk that DiskUtility could not. YMMV and they don't give it away.
    If Disk Warrior can not repair then you need to Reformate the drive. Make sure you have a back-up in place no matter what.

  • First time going to a site where I do not have access and clicking the back button I'm returned to the root site instead of the site I started from

    Greetings,
    I have SharePoint 2013 enterprise using ADFS for authentication.  I have an issue where the first time going to a site where you do not have access and clicking the back button you're returned to the root site instead of the site you
    started from.
    ie:
    1) at site http://www.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/home.aspx
    2) browse to
    http://www.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/private/home.aspx
    3) receive a message: you do not have access to this site  ((oops went to the wrong location - I'll hit the back button))
    4) click the browser back button
    5) get returned to http://www.sharepoint.com/pages/home.aspx
    This only happens the first time browsing to a site that I do not have rights to, after this I can browse to the same site and hit the browser back  button and return to the correct site, or any other site that I do not have access to.
    Any ideas as to why this happens?  Ideas of where to start looking?
    Thanks

    Hi Robert,
    From your description, when you receive access denied message and hit back button in browser, it redirects you to the root site but not previous site. However, this just happens at the first time.
    You may try to use some tool or check log which can tell us how does it handle the request when you hit the button. And compare the issue time and non-issue time.
    I'd suggest you use Netmon tool:

  • Safari reloading previous page after pressing the back button

    Hey guys, here my question regarding Safari...
    Why is it that every time I do the two finger swipe on the trackpad to go back to the previous page I was viewing on the web, freaking Safari takes me back to that page instantly but then automatically reloads the page. WHY?!?!
    I don't have this issue while using Firefox. I swipe to go back to the previous page and it's instantly available for me to continue browzing / scrolling, etc.
    Another thing I noticed in Safari is that if I'm half way down a page and click on something, which takes me to that page but then I swipe to go back, it doesn't take me back to where I was on the page (say, half way down, for example) it take me up towards the top (not all the way at the top, mind you, just up higher, NOT WHERE I WAS WHEN I LEFT THE PAGE) Why does it do this?!?! You'd think that Apple would have designed Safari to be the next best thing since sliced bread and that it would work instantly and flawlessly. I'd imagine that Firefox and other browzers would be the ones taking forever to load but it's freakin Safari that is doing this, I don't get it.
    For the record, Firefox functions flawlessly. Instantly shows the page I was at when I press the back button or swipe back and it puts me BACK IN THE SAME SPOT THAT I WAS AT BEFORE I LEFT THE PAGE!!!!
    I use both browzers as I need two (use both for different things and have different bookmarks saved, etc) but I'm starting to HATE Safari simply for this one issue I'm having. It makes surfing the web take 2x as long as I not only have to wait for the page to RELOAD after pressing the back button, I also have to scroll back down to where I was before I left the page, which takes TIME!
    Someone please explain this to me. I looked at other posts regarding this issue but there is no clear solution to the problem.
    HELP.

    I think Apple should give the end user the choice whether to autoload the webpage when you press the back button or not. It would be a simple fix for this issue that it seems a lot of people are suffering with.
    I WANT to use the default web browser that my Macbook Pro came with (Safari) and don't really want to use the alternatives (Firefox, Chrome, etc) but surfing the web is a slow, time consuming process with this auto reload "feature".
    Apple, Please fix this ASAP!
    This is my first Apple laptop (was a long time Sony Vaio / Windows user) and I expected good things from my Mac, after hearing / reading all the reviews but this Safari issue is a MAJOR turn off for me. It needs to be address ASAP.

  • 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

  • After doing a Google search, I click on a link and go to the searched web page.  When I go back to the Google page using the back button the links I originally clicked on no longer show as "greyed out".  Any idea what is going on with the browser?

  • Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
    My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.
    Thank you

  • Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.

    Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.
    This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

    I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
    I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

  • Some of the time the back button is greyed out when i have clicked on a new link. It's not a new window or tab, and the page I came from is not even in my history!

    At first I thought I had unknowingly gone to a new tab or window, but that's not it. I haven't ruled out that I have completely lost my mind, but I'm really hoping that's not the problem, although with win 7 that seems more and more likely all the time. It seems to happen at random. I tired holding down or right clicking the back button but there is nothing. The fact that the page I came from is gone from the history seems really strange.
    Sorry for the duplicate post, see this topic: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/807937

    This issue can be caused by the McAfee SiteAdvisor extension.
    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 > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • After my update to version 4, the back button now only seems to store the last page I was on rather than the last 10 like it used to before the update. I've scoured the options menu to no avail. How can I get the back button working like it used to?

    The back button used to work many times before it would reach the end of its list of pages I had been to recently and became greyed out, but now it will only work once before this happens. Also, the list of pages that pops up when I right click it now only has two entries no matter how many pages I've visited on that tab, the page I am currently on and the page I most recently left. Previous to the installation of the update to version 4 however, the list that appeared when I right clicked on the back button contained up to 10 items.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most other Add-ons.''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • I can't use the BACK button to get back to Google after visiting some websites.

    If I use certain web pages, I can't get back to my Google search after I finish. The BACK button says the page expired, and that I should ask the site to send the page again. I do not want to see that page, but just step past it to the page before it.
    There should be a way to tell Firefox that I don't really want to see that page again, but just to keep going back to the page before that.
    This usually happens on pages with forms.
    Some other pages actually destroy my BACK button history when they start. How can I prevent this? I have often seen another page I wanted to go to next in the search, and then the page I went to first erased my BACK button list. Then, when I went to search again, I couldn't find the other page.
