Lion Safari 5.1 back and forward gestures not working.

Is anyone else having problems with some of the gestures in Safari?
They work about 20% of the time. The page moves and the elastically snaps back rather than changing to a previous page.

I am a new Lion user. I have just upgraded my machine from Snow Leopard to Lion yesterday.
My Safari crashes whenever I use three fingers left-wipe to make it go back to the previous page.
These are my settings image on trackpad.... Is there anyone happen to have the same result I get?
My machine configuration:
Safari Version 5.1.1 (7534.51.22)
Mac OS X 10.7.2 Build 11C74
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Thanks in advance!!

Why are my back and forward buttons not working?

I have restarted firefox with add-ons disabled and then in safe mode and they worked then but when closed firefox and then restarted it they don't work again. I don't know if one of my kids have done something but I am not sure what to do to fix it.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

TS3366 iOS 7: Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail conflicts with Panning Gesture

Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail is different than the back and forward gesture used to swipe between Home screens. The simple swipe with the thumb straight does not work in Safari and Mail, it conflicts with the Panning gesture. It should be relatively easy to improve the algorithm to allow for that gesture to work.

Indeed, swiping back from pdf pages sometimes works, but most often does not.
It seems that the swiping gesture has in all cases changed slightly. It is now necessary to swipe a little until a portion of the previous page is uncovered, and only then can one swipe back.
The fact that there is a specific way to swipe back from html pages suggests that there might be an equally specific way to swipe back from pdf pages. I am still experimenting. Meanwhile make sure no one is sitting to your right in case your trackpad flies off during a gesture trial.

I want the reload button to appear outside the address bar (on the left, next to the back and forward buttons), not at the extreme end of the address bar. How can I do this?

I want to re-position the reload button to appear outside the address bar (on the left, next to the back and forward buttons), not where it is at the moment, which is at the extreme end of the address bar and is a real hassle to use. How can I do this?

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"
* 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 (Space or Separator) to get two distinct buttons.

I have safari 5.1.7 and it's not working properly. Should I use Safari 5.1.9 or 6.0.4?

I have safari 5.1.7 and it's not working properly. Should I use Safari 5.1.9 or 6.0.4? Mac OS X 10.6.8. 17" MacBook Pro

Use your Software Update under the Apple menu, it SHOULD bring Safari up to 5.1.9 on OS X 10.6.8.
Apple IS issuing security and other updates for Snow Leopard users.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
Safari 6+ is only for 10.7+ users as OS X is morphing into iOS.
10.7 and 10.8 will not run your PPC based apps of 10.5/10.6
If Software Update is not working, then you have other issues, backup your users folders off the machine to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine!) and run through this list of fixes.

How do I disable the back and forward gestures in F9 for OSX Lion?

The new gestures in Firefox 9 for OSX Lion that enable you to browse forward and backward with a two-fingered swipe are driving me crazy.
I like the idea, but it's way too sensitive. Every time I'm trying to scroll up or down a page (which also uses two fingers), I accidentally go back because I apparently don't have the skills to swipe up and down the track pad in a perfectly vertical line.
If the feature was adjusted so that the back and forth swiping wasn't so sensitive, this would be a wonderful feature. But as it currently is, it's destroying my browsing experience in Firefox to the point where I'm considering switching browsers.
I haven't found a way to disable just this feature and only in Firefox. Help?

You can set the related gesture prefs to an empty string value on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page. 
*Use the Filter bar at the top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
Filter: gesture 
Double-click the line with the gesture pref that you want to disable and clear its value.

Why have my back and forward functions stopped working?

My forward and back arrows have stopped working and I am not able to go back or forward even with a mouse. The mouse is alright with all other browsers.

Using the " Safe Mode " the issue of no back or forward arrows or functions, now is the question of why did they stop? I don't have a clue as to why. The problem started just before going to 8.0.1 and it was fine always up 'till all of a sudden the issue reared its ugly head.

Browser back and forward buttons dont work, no bookmarks, and can't sign into websites.

When I open firefox in Linux, it looks strange. The back, forward, and all those buttons are grey so I cannot click them. None of my bookmarks appear. And when I go to a website like Gmail to sign in, I can fill in my information, but I cannot click the sign in button. I tried erasing the .parentlock file and restarting everything. I also tried clearing the cache. I also moved the sessionstore.js file out of the folder. It seems like it was last modified the last time Firefox ran normally.

Every time Firefox opened

Hello Ben.
First of all, and although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment as been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com].
As for your issue, you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Keyboard back/play/forward buttons not working in iTunes 11?

Retina Macbook Pro here, 10.8.2
iTunes 11 has killed functionality of the back/play-pause/next (F7, F8, F9) keys. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Vince
Well, way back when I recall cracking the code to make these
beasties behave just like browser back and next buttons. If you are
interested, hop over to my site at
http://www.robowizard.com
and grab a copy of my Skinny on Skins file. The steps are
documented inside the file.
Cheers... Rick

When I get into my email, the back and forward no longer works.

When checking my mail, I will click on a site, then click again to view something within; the arrows (back/forward) fade and no longer function, thus not able to use.

Probably the "Babylon" toolbar if Thunderbird is involved. Firefox does not do email. though.

How to disable back and forward Swype in Firefox on android

back and forward gestures always done accidentally with the normal browsing, as it resembles exactly when you want to move to right or left of a large or desktop view of a web page.
there's also an excellent application (three finger Swipe) one can use effectively without any mistakes as it require three fingers Swype to launch an action, not one finger, exactly as the very normal browsing.

I have the same problem on a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 Android 4.1.1. on Firefox v23.
It says back or forward in some horizontal swipe/flick gestures in the middle/lower screen (black transparant popup, white text).
It's really annoying, because i'm prototyping with this gestures. And sometimes a swipe-action-left navigates to a earlier page instead of the page linked to the swipe-action-left. I disabled two finger gestures in about:config, but it didn't help of course.
I don't think it's related to the Samsung tab/Android version or TouchWiz?

Swipe Gestures Not Working

Scrolling back and forward no longer works with any web browser (I've tried it on Opera, Chromium, and Safari) - with either a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad. Anyone figure out how to get this back?

I had this issue. My solution was to unplug my Time Machine external Hard Drive from iMac. I know it sounds really odd that having it plugged in would stop the gestures, but it worked for me. It must be completely unplugged, not just unmounted.

Three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.
