Lost the forward and back buttons on Firefox five

no blue arrows in bar.

What I found was that anytime I installed one of the beta's, as soon as I tried to customize the bars and hit the "small icons" checkbox from customize that I would no longer be able to have the round shaped foward back buttons but only square (rectangle) small buttons.
To get those round ones back, but never again to the right of the "File - Edit - etc" bar, all I did was move all the buttons down to the navigation or another bar below as I have the space.
The problem still occurs that anytime I attempt to put them back up top beside the file etc options they go back to those small rectangle buttons :(

In Firefox 3.6.10 I was able to go forward and backwards between pages without the page defaulting to the top of the page. Is there any way to prevent the page from automatically moving to the top when using the forwards and back buttons in Firefox Four?

I like to be able to navigate backwards and forwards without having to scroll down and find where I was previously. In Firefox Four, when using the forwards and back buttons, the page will automatically return to the top of the page. Is there any way to change this setting in Firefox Four to prevent it from doing that?

Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

The forward and back buttons in firefox 4 beta 7 dont work after trying to customize and the bookmarks button only shows when customizing

I have lost the use of the 'forward' and 'back' button

On Win 7 I have lost the use of the forward and back button - both are greyed out - except on this page ??? when I leave this page the greyed out appears on all tabs or links in use. I am using Firefox 3.6.16. To get to this page I have 7 tabs open at present and all ( except this one - odd! ) are greyed out.

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

I know there are some problems with Question Slides, but I'm using them as timesavers. Building question slides yourself takes a lot more time. When I started using them, I had to find the right settings to get the results I wanted, but now mostly I do not have that much problems anymore (if the internet connection is not failing).
What are your Quiz settings: can the user have more than one attempt, do you allow Backward movement, Review possibility etc? Is the uploading to a LMS (which one), what were the Manifest settings?

The drop down history button in FF3, used to be between the forward and back buttons, is missing in FF4. how do i get it back?

I'm referring to the small downwards arrow between the back and forward button beside the URL, on the navigation bar. That used to be a very convenient feature and now its not available in FF4. Is there a way to get back that button?

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

How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.

Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
I'll try this once more.
1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?

Thanks so much!
Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve!

Forward and back buttons greyed out, no forward or back available in right click menu either

After upgrading to the latest FF14 the forward and back buttons and menu versions of forward and back are greyed out.
Tried the sqllite check and it says all my databases are fine. Tried safe mode, same thing. Tried a new profile, same thing.
Any other suggestions?

You could have backed up your profile folder. If you did, [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] can help :)

Disabling of FORWARD and BACK Button of Internet Explorer.......

Hello everybody,
Can anyone tell me how to disable the FORWARD and BACK Button of Internet Explorer through JavaScript.......If possible give me the code snippet.....

Hi
I I tell you the answer, I suppose it means you'll be able to spend less time on JavaScript and more time on Java, so here goes:
Open your page in a new window using window.open(...). This JavaScript takes lots of parameters, such as the page you want to display in the window, as well as settings for hiding the toolbar (which includes the forward/back buttons).
Do a search on the net for window.open for full syntax. I think you can modify the properties of the current window if you want to stay in the same window, but can't remember the syntax.
Note you can also disable the right mouse button by defining the following function:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
I don't know how to stop the user from pressing 'Backspace' unless you use Java to monitor the navigation.
Hope this helps

Disabling FORWARD and BACK Button of Internet Explorer thru JavaScript....

Hello everybody,
Can anyone tell me how to disable the FORWARD and BACK Button of Internet Explorer through JavaScript.......If possible give me the code snippet.....

You can not do this in JavaScript.
However, if you set the right response headers in the response IE will disable them:
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");
response.setHeader("Expires","0");
would do the trick.

Forward and back buttons wont work

I'm runnung Tiger 10.4.5 and Safari 2.0.3, for some reason the forward and back buttons won't "activate" or work. Everything else is fine. There is nowhere I can download a new copy of 2.0.3. Any help is appreciated.

Can you use the native GTK Forward and Back buttons instead of the default ones?

Hello!
On old versions of Firefox, the default theme always used the native GTK forward and back buttons. Ever since I updated Firefox, it overwrites these with its own arrow. Does anyone happen to know off the top of their head if it's reversible?

It looks like the GTK theme was not updated to support versions of Firefox after version 29. Have you contacted the developer about this as well?
Looking for a hack you may find more answers in mozillazine.org.

I was messing with the computer, not sure what i hit but now all my toolbars at the top of the screen are gone? (file, edit, history, tools and my forward and back button). Please help me get these settings back to the way they were?

My file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, and help buttons at the top of the screen are gone, along with my forward and back button.

For details of how to restore it, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing
Once the menu bar is restored, you can use the Toolbars entry in the View menu to restore other toolbars such as the navigation toolbar.

Ghostery disables forward and back buttons in version 10

Forward and back arrows are greyed out and do not function when Ghostery is enabled. If I start in safe mode, without Ghostery, the forward and back arrows function properly.

-> [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]
If the buttons are working in -> [[Safe Mode]], then you need to make sure which extension was causing the problems.

Why does the foward and back button no longer show page history ?

the older version of mozilla/firefox you had the option of seeing previous pages beside the foward and back buttons. rather than going back to each page. also the web pages that were suggested for your search let you know if the web page or site good or bad.

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:
