Welcome Joe -
PC or Mac?
Back and forward buttons on a window listng the files in it, will only work if you open a file within the folder.
If you simply open your folder, there nothing to go "back" to.

What happened to my back button? Now when I'm browsing on facebook, or any other site, the back/forward buttons are not highlighted to be able to use them?

When I am surfing the net, I have always been able to use my back/forward buttons. Now all of a sudden, they are not available to use, you can still see them, but they are grey, not black, like they once were so that I could click them to go back to a previous page, or forward once I've went back? I don't know what's the problem. I did the most recent firefox update that was sent to me recently. But just noticed this problem today. Thanks for your help.

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

I inadvertantly deleted the back/forward button and the dropdown box how do I get those back

I inadvertantly deleted the back and forward button at top left as well asthe dropdown box showing preferences How do I get those back? thankyou

Your description is unclear. Maybe this will help.
Back/forward buttons are on the Navigation Bar. Be sure the Navigation Bar is being displayed. On the Menu Bar, choose View > Toolbars, if there is no check mark next to Navigation Bar, click Navigation Bar to place a check mark.
'''Can't see the Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
''(Linux & OSX see: [[Menu bar is missing]] )''
''Windows'' Method 1. '''''Hold down''''' the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M
''Windows'' Method 2. Press and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar.
The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
'''Navigation Toolbar, Bookmarks Toolbar and other Toolbars''' under View > Toolbars. Clicking on one of them will place a check mark (display) or remove the check mark (not displayed).
'''To display the Status Bar''', View, then click Status bar to place a check mark (display) or remove the check mark (not displayed).

The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

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?

My Back and Forward buttons are present but do not work. How do it fix?

I have tried several fixes to no avail. The buttons worked until recently. Not sure when exactly they stopped.

Back/Forward Home don't work in 7.0.1 due to '''network.http.max-connection'''s being upped to 256, reduce back down to 32.

You can also get the drop down list by holding down the left button on the 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

How can I add Internet browser back/forward buttons to the main toolbar?

The developper of the software I'm testing manages to open
web-pages in a window within our software. We find this a great
feature, although it has one downside: no back/forward buttons the
users have gotten used to thru standard Internet browsers.
Is there any way to add these classic Internet browsing
buttons to the main toolbar of a WebHelp output? I've noticed them
on some other outputs (HTML-help if I'm not mistaken).
I've noticed some similar topics in this forum, but the seem
to discuss the browsing sequence buttons, which we find less
usefull.
Thanks for looking into this!
Greetings,
Olivier

Hi Olivier
Take a look at my Skinny on Skins file. There are
instructions inside on how to accomplish this.

The back and forward arrows are greyed out all the time - How can I fix this?

I am currently using firefox ver 21. However the forward and back buttons are greyed out and will not work. I would be happy to re-install the program but how do I re-install without losing all my bookmarks and settings.
Please advise.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Disable browser back/forward buttons for CRM 7

In one of the books I've on the subject of the interaction center there was mention of an OSS note to disable the Browser Back/forward button. If you jump around Browser sessions it's common to suddenly jump into a SAP browser session, hit the back button, exit out and then realise the error that you've made.
I've been searching for this note but have been unsuccessful in finding it so far.
Does anyone know what this note is?.
Jason

They are all ticked in that box except DEFAULT, DEFAULT_CHM and DEFAULT_ICM. If I tick these and Save I receive the message saying 'DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES (SAP ENTRY). Now obviously I can just enter past this and create a transport, but is this the right thing to do?.
In John Burton's book, called 'Maximize Your SAP CRM Interaction Center' there is an OSS note mentioned to resolve this issue, and was why I originally raised this post.
However, If you suggestion works then I would be happy to try it.
How does one know which technical profile is being used when log in, and therefore which one to change?.
Jason

MY FIREFOX does not have a URL box, refresh, back/forward buttons or a tool bar with file, view, tools, etc.

<blockquote>Locking thread. 
Please continue here: [/questions/786744]</blockquote> 
Hi again,
There's no bar that says file, tools, view, (other?) OR URL box, reload button or back/forward buttons, so I can't even do some of the things people are suggesting, like run in safe mode. This requires using the file button. The suggestions I'm getting all require using the bar that I don't have. I also uninstalled and reinstalled firefox to see if it would change, but it didn't. I've still got the same problem.
Would LOVE to take care of this soon. It's causing me to put some projects on hold. Annette

Mouse back/forward buttons no longer work in v29

firefox 29
windows 8.1 update (1) - IE all M$ updates installed
logitech M570 mouse
my mouse back and forward buttons no longer work in v29. i tried FF safe mode, i tried with logitech setpoint 6.5 enabled and disabled, resetting setpoint. i don't want to "reset firefox" because i just did a fresh windows install and fresh firefox 28 install before upgrading to FF29 a few days later.....
BTW the back/forward buttons work in all other installed programs as well as FF28 in my windows 7 machine.
thanks in advance for any replies....

apologies for another reply. also, the back/forward icons (to the left of the URL area) work just fine. it's only the mouse buttons that don't work and after years of using them, i REALLY miss them!
thanks

I can't get my location bar or back/forward buttons to show up.

I can't get my location bar or back/forward buttons to show up.

* If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the missing item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window onto one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Back/ forward buttons and refresh buttons have greyed out and don't work, how can I fix that?

Woke up this morning to find firefox's back/forward buttons and refresh unresponsive. They are just greyed out. Also, when I open Firefox it usually goes to my home page, now it just opens to an "untitled" page. I tried resetting the home page, only to find it was set correctly. The only way to get to the home page is to hit the home button. The only thing that happened overnight, that I can see, is updates on 'screenshot-program' and 'smarterfox.' I don't know what to do about it, please help?
