In Firefox 4, back button only goes back 1 page at a time. how can i go back further with one click?

in Firefox 3.6.10, i could click an arrow next to the back button for a drop down menu of previously visited pages. in Firefox 4, i can only go back one page at a time. has it been removed in the new version or am i just overlooking it?
in case you've taken it out, would you consider replacing it? sometime a page won't let you go back no matter how many times you hit the back arrow.
thank you!

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

  • Back button only works about 50% of the time. Have to hit it twice, sometimes three times before it works. Problem is intermittent. Firefox 3.6.10 on Mac OS 10.6.4 (same on both MacBook and iMac machines).

    Address book has same entries multiple times how can I go back to original cesium

    After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
    They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
    Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
    There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

  • How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

    Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

    * In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
    * Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

    That's right, though Firefox 8.0 is newer and would have the
    same requirements.

    For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
    :For the latest of version 3
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html
    : Note Mac OS X 10.4 user, and Mac OS X 10.5 users without Intel cannot upgrade to Firefox 4 or higher.
    When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).
    Maybe you were looking for this (I think I would stick to 3.6.* on such a machine) No idea if they have anything for later than version 4.
    :You can run an unofficial version of Firefox though, see

  • Just updated to Firefox 8, can only connect 1 User at a time, how can I fix this so both users can connect to Firefox at the same time??

    I have just upgraded to Firefox 8. I have 2 user accounts on my computer. Since the upgrade, only 1 user can access Firefox at a time. I am able to use IE on 1 and Firefox on the other. I have to close Firefox on 1 user before I can open it on the 2nd.

    I also have gone back to V 7, which fixed the issue. I have stopped the automatic updates so the issue doesn't hapen again.

  • Overlap Buttons? Can you select 2 objects with one click?

    Hi I am trying to create a menu of a map for a client. They would like a text list of cities down one side and also dots over each city on the map.
    I have set the highlite groups to change the colour of the text but I would like to also set the menu so that when selecting the city in the the text area the coresponding dot over the city changes as well?
    As the cities are all ove the place and some quite close together i keep getting the buttons overlapping. Ive tried merging the layers so text and dot are together but it keeps overlapping and im not sure how, if i can, get it working?
    Product Version: 3.0.0.268
    DVD Devices Installed:
    HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GSA-H53N (Firmware B104)
    Dell Precision PWS490 Intel Xeon Dual 5120 @1.86ghz 3.00gb RAM windows XP SP3 3TB raid storage
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Dave,
    The only way to do this with Encore that I know is to use a series of duplicate menus and the auto-activate feature.
    So when the audience navigates to a particular city's text, the auto-activate feature automatically executes a link to an exact duplicate of the menu they were just navigating, and displays the highlighted city text and a highlighted city dot. The dot won't actually be part of the button on the new menu, but it will look like it is.
    This technique involves careful pre-planning and a lot of linking work. It is easy to get lost in the links if you don't have a proper flowchart drawn on paper and if you don't use good menu-naming conventions.

  • 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

  • How can I bring back the nice big refresh button?

    The refresh button used to be a nice big one at the top left. Now it is a tiny one hidden near the search stuff on the right. I want the big one back.
    And while we're at it, I'd like the home button to be bigger again, as well. How can I do that?

    Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end side of the location bar.<br />
    During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.<br />
    If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.<br />
    Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
    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" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * 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 to get two distinct buttons.

  • How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

    I've noticed in AIR 2.7 for Android, that now the bottom icons in Android 3.0 Honeycomb are hidden (replaced by small dots) in AIR 2.7, whereas in AIR 2.6 they were always visible. That's cool. Since the bottom bar can never be hidden in Android 3, at least now those icons are less visible (unless you intentionally touch the bottom bar, then the icons show up for a few seconds).
    BUT I also noticed in AIR 2.7 compiled apps, the native "Menu" icon is not visible anymore, even after touching the bottom bar. In AIR 2.6 you could see and press that button (which can be captured from AIR so you can show a custom settings menu or whatever).
    So, quoting the subject --> How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

    There is a work around and a reason for the menu issue.  Honeycomb doesn't natively support a menu softkey, it is only to support old apps comiled in phone API levels.  If you compile a Honeycomb app in 2.7 or 3.0, it is expected you manage the settings within the larger tablet UI framework.  See below link for more info and work around.

  • I just plugged my iphone in to download some pix to my computer and my phone is now showing a plug with the itunes icon and its telling me I have to restore my phone and will lose all my data. *** is going on and how can I go back?

    i just plugged my iphone in to download some pix to my computer and my phone is now showing a plug with the itunes icon and its telling me I have to restore my phone and will lose all my data. *** is going on and how can I go back?

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.
