I used to be able to navigate to a site by clicking in the own arrow on the main text entry window at the top - this no longer works since I upgraded to ver 31.

I can click on the down arrow and see sites I have been to, but I can't navigate to these sites by clicking on a site in the list. Nothing happens

That should not happen. Can you please disable you extensions and restart Firefox to see if this temporarily resolves the issue?
If not please try to reset Firefox. The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • I use to be able to go back several sites by clicking on a down arrow next to the back button. Where's it gone in Firefox 4?

    I realise you can click on history but if you have more than one tab open, it combines all these in the history sequence. The lack of this list of previously visited sites within the tab accessible by the down arrow is extemely frustrating. How can this be an improvement? If it's really gone, I want my firefox 3 back!

    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:

  • I used to be able to mirror my Mac Book Pro screen to my LCD tv. It seems like when I updated to Lion it no longer works. Am I right, or Am I doing something wrong?

    I used to be able to watch movies from my laptop on my LCD TV, and it seems to me that eversince I upgraded to the Lion operating system the mirroring does not work. I have researched previous questions and I have checked the FAQ section on the Apple website and I am told to click on the mirroring icon but the icon has dissapeared from my task bar. When I plug the adaptor from thunder to HDMI the laptop screen flickers, turns blue and then goes back to the desktop but nothing shows on the LCD. I have also tried with a Thunder to VGA adaptor and the same thing happens. Any clues?

    Morning Oscar1975,

  • I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad  using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
    To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
    You need to have Home Sharing On.
    Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
    Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
    Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

  • I used to be able to keep my finger on a key to select an accent in mountain lion but I cannot do the same thing in Maverick.  Any suggestions?

    I used to be able to keep my finger on a key to select an accent in mountain lion but I cannot do the same thing in Mavericks.  Any suggestions?

    I found the following info at file:///Users/gordondoyle/Desktop/Mac%20OS%20X%20Tips.webarchive
    Here’s yet another iPhone feature that has cropped up on the Mac in Lion. While typing, simply pressing and holding on a key will bring up a popup showing all the possible diacritics (accents, cedillas, etc.) that can be added to the letter. You can then choose from the possibilities by pressing the corresponding number on your keyboard, or by clicking the one you want.
    This seems to be a fairly quick way typing accents, and is much easier to use than the old method which involved remembering a number of Option key combinations. It does have one drawback however — it stops you from pressing and holding to write a long line of repeated letters, like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.
    If you don’t regularly type accents, then losing the repeated character functionality might not be worth it for you. In this case, you can disable this new feature using a Terminal command. Open up Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities), paste the following line and press Return.
    defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool NO
    You will need to restart each application for the changes to take effect. Simply repeat the command with YES at the end to reverse.
    and it seems to be related to your suggestion that I follow the threads related to the link you provided except that the above info is the reverse of what I think that I need to do.  I will try what is shown in the threads however and see what happens - most appreciatively!

    Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
    Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately you can't, the additional storage belongs to your first account, you can't transfer it.

  • HT1451 I used to be able to sync all songs that I downloaded from CDs to my iPad. Now I can only get the songs that were purchased from iTunes.  Can someone tell me why?

    I used to be able to sync songs that I imported from CDs into my library onto my iPad and iPad touch. Now I can only sync the purchased from iTunes songs. What has changed?  Do I have to subscribe to iCloud to do this now?

    Hi Cricketdaw,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    iTunes should sync your entire library, and not just songs purchased from the iTunes Store, as mentioned in this article:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    By default, iTunes automatically syncs your entire iTunes library whenever you connect your device to your computer. On each subsequent sync, iTunes will automatically add any new music or videos to the device and remove any items that are no longer in your iTunes Library.
    You may also find this articles helpful for syncing your iTunes Library:

  • I used to be able to get onto a site, but two days ago I no longer can. I have talked with the site Admin and he says the site is viewing me as non-legit.

    I used to frequent an RPing site until two days ago on Sunday, January 26th, 2014. After speaking with the Site admin I was told that the site no longer recognized me as a "legit person". I have gone through all the normal steps, updating, uninstall and re-install Firefox, delete cookies and history, removed proxy for connection (and all the other proxy options) and even restarting the computer. I have tried accessing the site on other browsers, IE and Chrome and it works just fine! I even have other friends who can still use the site on Firefox! I do not know how to fix the problem, and I hate Chrome/IE with a passion, so I am praying there is some way to fix this problem and let me use Firefox again for the site. As for the error I get whenever I try to get to the site it reads. "The requested URL "(Site Address)" cannot be found or is not available. Please check the spelling or try again later."

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.
    <!-- VERY important to include-->
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>

  • I used to use a bookmark for maximizing the firefox window, but in FF9 it no longer works.

    Before upgrading, I used the following snippet of code in the "Location" field of a Bookmark:
    javascript:self.resizeTo(screen.availwidth,screen.availheight);self.moveto(0,0);
    However, with FF9 that no longer works. I attempted to change the front portion (before the open parenthesis) to:
    browser.window.resize_to
    but after I remove focus from the text box, it adds the "http://" to the front of the code and a "/" to the end of it. I have two questions:
    #1. Is there a way to stop Firefox from adding the "http://" and "/" to the location box?
    #2. Is there a better way to set up the bookmark (or another quick-access method) to automatically resize the window?

    You can only do that in the Scratchpad if an XUL window like about:addons or about:config is open.
    *Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad (Shift+F4)
    You can no longer run JavaScript code via the location bar in Firefox 6 and later.<br />
    You can see an error message in the Tools > Error Console.<br />
    That code now gets a null principal for security reasons and doesn't have any effect (Bug 656433).<br />
    You need to create a (keyword) bookmarklet and run the code by invoking that bookmark.<br />
    Use the Scratch pad (Firefox > Web Developer > Scratchpad; Shift+F4) to run JavaScript code.<br />
    Open a tab with an XUL page like about:addons (Tools > Addons) to be able to resize or move a window via JavaScript code in the Scratchpad in Firefox 9+.<br />

  • Tooltip for a Tab (site name, alt text maybe?) often will show up after mouse leaves the tab and stay there until mouse hovers back on it. This has been happening since I used FF 3. Using 9.0.1 now and it still happens.

    Screenshot.

    Seems to be related to pages with flash.
    White area near the Meteor Star tooltip in flash is where my mouse pointer actually is. Used far distance from the tab for emphasis on how broken this is.

    '''Cor-el,
    I think it's time to bring some of those kryptonian super powers of yours in to play! :)
    Yes, I am still having problems. I tried to load in the online site for my bank, Navy Federal Credit Union. I got the old "server not found" BS. I did as you suggested and executed a SHIFTED Reload and that worked, at least in the since that I was able to get the opening page.
    However, when I went to sign on, the trouble appeared. Similar to the failed logons and recycling sign ons that I had seen on Yahoo and a few other sites, WHEN I logged onto NFCU's page (they have an unusual three part logon), as soon as I sign on I am IMMEDIATELY told I have "timed out" on the session and am kicked off. Repeated attempts to access my account yields the same thing over and over. I tried to sign on using Internet Explorer and there was NO PROBLEM AT ALL, so the issue is specific to FF.
    I then flushed the cache and retied; no luck. I tried SAFE MODE and again no luck. I then went in a flushed the cache, again, and deleted all associated cookies. Again no luck.
    Then I flushed the cache, reset ALL the preferences and tried again, still no luck.
    As it stands now, I have reset the USERAGENT entries, flushed the cache, reset the preferences and, removed the cookies and still, EVEN in SAFE mode, Firefox and NFCU can't get along. Neither can Yahoo.com!
    So, after all that,I am at my wits end. Suggestions? Should I send you a refreshed copy of my troubleshooting dump?
    Keep in mine that I have, up until 9.0.1 came out, been using FF to aces s all these sites without any problems. So I guess the question has to be: Exactly what was changed in 9.0.1 from the previous version that has made it act this way?
    Ideas? Suggestions? Fixing this has become a full time job!

  • I used to be able to have two ways to secondary click in 10.6.  Now I can only pick one in System Preferences/Trackpad.

      Is there any way I can have secondary click activated by two fingered tap on trackpad AND by clicking the bottom right of the trackpad?
    I have a Macbook, Late 2008

    They've consolidated the options as you see.  You can still two fingered tap and click but you need to use two fingers to click.  You can do this anywhere on the trackpad.
