In the Navigation toolbar, the Forward/back buttons are dimmed, and the URL bar has "Search Bookmarks and History"

The Forward and Back buttons are dimmed and don't work, and "Search Bookmarks and History" is in the URL bar. Also, I sometimes find blank pages with "Search Bookmarks and History" in the URL bar after visiting some websites.

No, no need to remove other SQLite files in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
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 > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Address/Location bar, forward-back buttons are not shown

    Address/Location bar, forward-back buttons are not shown in my browser. How can I make them visible?

    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    * Make sure that the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • Lost the forward/back button after updating and the home button how do I get back?

    Firefox updated to 7 and I lost all of my add ons including the home button and the forward/back button. I was able to get all of my add ons restored except the home button and the forward/back buttons. How do I get them back? Wish now that I had not updated.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
    * Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar

  • In Firefox 3.6.13, I've set the Smart Location feature to "Nothing" but the next time I start up Firefox it has reset the location bar to search "Bookmarks" ! This is very annoying that it won't stay set to do nothing.

    I go to "Tools", "Options" and then "Privacy". At the "Location Bar" I set it to "Nothing" and then accept. The next time I restart my laptop from "Sleep", start up Firefox and start typing in a web address in the location bar it shows me the "Bookmark" stuff.

  • Forward / back buttons are missing

    Hi
    I know that this topic was discussed in
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=65&catid=451&threadid =1214168&highlight_key=y&keyword1=back.
    And there is a link to solution. Unfortunately, it is not quite
    clear to me where to find the solution.
    Can anyone help
    Thanx
    Lena

    c'mon, lena, don't give up. you're almost there.
    ClubHans is right on the money.
    it sounds like you didn't go far enough into whtbar.js;
    you're by the "Show Navigation Component, " right? gotta go lower.
    like lines 808 and 827 on my whtbar.js. (plus, it really helps if
    you use a text editor that has line numbers; i use a trial copy of
    texpad, which is better than notepad:
    http://www.textpad.com/).
    look for
    else if(sType=="avnext" (line 806 on my whtbar.js)
    just below should be
    var svTitle="Next Topic"; (line 808); this is what needs to
    be edited—whatever's in the double quotes. the same with the
    var svTitle line after
    else if(sType=="avnprev").
    good luck, my friend.

  • HT1338 There's no place on my homepage to put a web address.  Also my forward & backward buttons are missing, how can I retreive these?  I called my on-line provider & they told me I'd have to contact Apple.

    On my hompage, there isn't any place to put a web address.  Also the forward & back buttons are missing.

    I'm running 10.8 and Safari 6.0.2 so this might not apply to you exactly but, in that setup: in View on the menu bar is a setting for Show Toolbar. If it says "Hide Toolbar" then the toolbar is showing. If it says "Show Toolbar", it is not showing (so click on that and it will make the toolbar appear).  If only certain pieces of the toolbar are missing, use View/Customize Toolbar.

  • Can Firefox provide an option to keep the refresh button next to the forward/back buttons?

    When I first installed FF4 the refresh button was buried on the righthand side of the URL window. There were a number of complaints about that location.
    Then the button got moved next to the forward/back buttons. This made me quite happy.
    Today, I find it's again buried in the previous position.
    Can I get it back to where it is more accessible?

    # Control-click on a toolbar and select Customize, this will open the customize toolbar window
    # With that window on display you can drag and drop the refresh button and place it where you want

  • In IE 8 there is a "recent pages" tab next the forward / back buttons. It helps us jump back & forth the sites. Is there similar feature in FF 6 ?

    In IE 8 there is a "recent pages" tab next the forward / back buttons. It helps us jump back & forth the sites directly. Is there a similar feature in FF 6 ?

    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/

  • Put back the drop down bar for the forward/back buttons.

    There was a little bar next to the forward/back buttons that allowed you to see where you been and go back or forward a few pages when you need to. I WANT THAT BAR BACK! I am sick and tired of going through this every time firefox updates. ALSO, I've lost my personas (not that it really matters since you got rid of all the space the pictures were in), and I would like them back. I really wish you people would STOP fixing things that aren't broke and giving me so much grief trying to make it look like it and act like it did before.

    Cor-el, you rock! Brought back all the personas/themes that I lost. Now I just have to work on widening the area so I can see the pictures. :)

  • Using Tiscali Webmail with Firefox 6. If I try and delete an email the Ok and Cancel buttons are disabled and nothing happens, have to use F5 to take me back. IE8 works so is this a compatibility issue?

  • The location bar has disappeared from the top of any tab that I open. How can I get it back?

    The location bar has disappeared from the top of any tab I open, so there is nowhere to type in a web address. Could I have accidentally made this happen? How do I get it back?

    Just to be clear, it's not below the tab bar either? (That's the new style in Firefox 4 and 5.)
    To hide or show toolbars, you can use the old View menu.
    If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to temporarily display the classic menu bar.
    View menu > Toolbars > ''check'' Navigation Toolbar
    If you are viewing the navigation toolbar but it's incomplete or corrupted, you can reset your toolbars.
    View menu > Toolbars > Customize
    In the large dialog with the icons, toward the bottom, click Restore Default Set.
    Does any of that help?

  • Forward/back button

    My forward/back button in Safari 4.0.1 has stopped working. I can't go back to websites I just visited.
    It is dimmed out. Any suggestions????
    MacOS 10.5.7

    Hi
    Go to the View Menu>Customize Toolbar. When the panel opens, drag the existing back/fwd off the toolbar, then replace it with a fresh copy. Select Done.
    If that doesn't solve it, then quit Safari. Via the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari. This resets Safari preferences to default values. Restore any custom settings in either the Preference panel, Edit (spelling), or View Menu. Also, restore any custom icons.
    Also, the reset adds Apple default bookmarks to your Bookmarks collection (command/option/B keys). Delete any you don't want.

  • Forward/ back button for various sub-folders

    Hello all,
    Here's the scenario.....
    I have a forward and back button that load several images in a sub-folder that load to a UIloader....
    next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
    function nextImage2(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
    imageNumber++;
    LargeImageLoader.source = "portfolio/UIloader/bike/00"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    checkNumber();
    back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backImage);
    function backImage2(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
    imageNumber--;
    LargeImageLoader.source = "portfolio/UIloader/bike/00"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    checkNumber();
    Since I have multiple sub-folders for my portfolio, I was wondering how to apply these same buttons to other sub-folder image paths without needing to create a pair of forward/back buttons for each sub-folder.
    Thanks!

    It's not entirely clear to me, but what I think you need to do for what I think you are saying you want to do would be to make the folder targeting (portfolio/UIloader/bike/, et al) a variable as well.  The only missing link is what you would use to redefine the folders.
    Your next/prev buttons can't be that smart unless you have some conditional logic that helps them realize a particular imageNumber range belongs to a particular folder.  If your images have the same file names (00#.jpg) across the different folders then that won't help.  I believe you would need them to be sequential such that no folder repeats the filenames/numbers of another

  • TS 4.1 User Interface Forward/Back Buttons

    I'd like to the add the Forward/Back Buttons to my User Interface similar to those in the Sequence Editor. I use a modified version of the Full Featured UI on the production floor and often switch to editor mode to work on the sequence. I find it very cumbersome not to be able to jump back and forth between Sequences while doing so.
    Were the buttons created using the "Editing Class" proporties and methods to build a stack of recently selected sequences?  Or are the buttons already existing with the methods simply needed to be called?
    Any suggestions how to impment this functionality while in edit mode? 
    Thanks

    "but keep in mind that the UI is not meant for developing. It instead was designed with operators debugging in mind."
    I don't agree with that. The UIs are fine for developing if they meets your needs. If not, then you have to weigh using the sequence editor, which is not nearly as customizable, vs the cost of reimplementing whatever you can't do without that the sequence editor already has.
    Note that most of the things that are missing from the UIs would take a fair amount of effort to re-implement (type editing, ...). If there were already simple-user-ready-drop-in-components for the missing features, we probably would have already included them in the UIs.
    We want the UIs to be functional, but the top priority is that they be simple enough such that they can be readily modified.
    Note that in some cases there are apis to support features that aren't in the UIs, but there isn't a complete control that wraps everything. For example, Engine.SearchFiles() is a huge amount of the implementation for find-and-replace, but there currently isn't a user callable dialog for invoking it or a user accessible control for automatically browsing the results, thus we don't currently include that feature in example code for the UIs. I don't know the specifics of forward/back, so I'm not sure how much of the implementation is exposed as public APIs, beyond the goto-location functionality (see Locations.GotoLocation, ...).
