Mouse back/forward buttons don't respond after exiting from full screen Flash video

Yeah. Has anyone else encountered this? After viewing a full
screen video (YouTube, Hulu) and exiting (via the ESC button), the
back and foward buttons on my mouse stop responding. Really!
Usually I will have to go back into a full-screen video twice for
the buttons to get "stuck," and then it takes them several minutes
to regain their functionality.
I've had this going on for over a year now, and I'm finally
sick of it enough to where I want to get some help. I've narrowed
it down to the Flash player as being the culprit, and it happens on
every browser I've tried it on (Firefox 3: RC2, RC1, Beta5; Firefox
2; IE7; IE6; Safari 3.x). This started happening when I upgraded
the Flash Player and the first offending version would be the one
that introduced the current full screen Flash video technology. I'm
guessing it was 9.0.
I have a Logitech MediaPlay wireless mouse, Win XP SP2. I
have the latest version of Flash and the most up-to-date mouse
drivers.

I have the same exact problem, only a different model
Logitech. Have you found a solution? Thanks, Shawn.

  • Organizer jumps to first picture in well after exit from Full Screen viewer

    I'm using PSE 11, and noticed that I'm losing my place in the well after using the Full Screen viewer (F11). For example, if I have 300 pictures in the well, and am halfway through them on picture 150, and I select a few pictures to view Full Screen then press ESC or Exit button to go back, the organizer takes me to the top of the well, with the first picture highlighted. I have to scroll down to find where I was. Is there a way to avoid this?

    The problem mentioned above still seems to be present in PSE13. I find this so frustrating that I am considering abandoning the organizer in spite of having 14000 organised and tagged photos in my catalog. SURELY there must be a fix to this problem!

  • Back & forward buttons won't work after going full screen   

    I have a Logitech cordless mouse. When ever I'm watching a
    video, like on You Tube, and I go to full screen, my mouse
    back/forward buttons won't work, and I have to re boot my computer.
    I have tried every thing Logitech told me to do, but still have the
    problem. They think it's a flash player problem. I saw that one
    other person in the forums has the same problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks, Shawn.

    I can't find the preferences section of itunes. where is it because it isn't at the very top of the screen and I didn't see it anywhere else. i hasn't told me that the back-up is corrupted so I don't know about that. I just know that it always comes up with the error message 50 when I try to get the back-up restored to it.

  • 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

  • My back/forward buttons don't work - have done 'reset toolbars and controls', but they still don't work

    When I downloaded the latest version I got a new screen with the orange Firefox tab at the top. That was fine, I could find what I wanted, but back/forward buttons didn't work. I checked the help section and went right through the suggestions down to 'reset toolbars and controls' - this did reset and I lost the orange box - that doesn't matter, but the back/forward buttons still don't work.

    Do you have more than one tab open? If you didn't go to another site in a single tab, then yes, the buttons will be greyed out. If you went somewhere in another tab, then those sites should be accessible by right clicking either button.

  • My firefox 5.0 does not respond to the mouse (back/forward) buttons. Is there a fix for this? I already updated my drivers.

    It is pretty much what I have stated. It works fine in other applications like IE, explorer but not for Firefox.
    I am running Windows 7 64bit with setpoint control centre version 6.30.41 and driver version 5.30.67.
    My mouse is the performance mx.

    This seemed to be a recurrent solution 2004-2006, and looks the same as what you found for yourself.
    :In the Set Point software, set the forward and back buttons to "other," Then select "generic button" from the drop down list for both of them.

  • Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?

    Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

  • How do I go back to my old version of Firefox. 4 does not allow me to use two finger mousepad control to expand or contract my screen. Also I don't like the lack of a drop-down arrow next to the back/forward buttons.

    I don't like to have to click and drag to see the drop down history of the back/forward buttons - this requires two fingers or a double tap and hold finger motion. MUCH easier to click and release and take my time to pick the screen I want to go back to, then click on that link with a separate motion.
    I especially don't like that I can no longer expand and contract the screen with two finger motion on my mousepad!!!
    Generally, I don't see any advantage to the new layout - and I have a slight preference to having my tabs closer to the screen rather than above the address bar, since I more frequently click on tabs than on the address bar. If you want to improve the view I would recommend combining the very topmost bar which is part of the window surround with the File Edit etc bar (and please keep File, Edit, View History, etc separated instead of putting them into a dropdown). This will allow the viewer one more line of text on a given webpage, and eliminate the wasted space which is only used to identify the window as FF and provide the close window buttons
    PLEASE help me go back to the old version. It was perfect.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Scroll bar, back/forward buttons and home buttons don't work

    I use Windows 7 and Firefox 6.0.1. The navigation buttons don't respond to mouseover and work only if the menu bar is selected.
    I don't want the menu bar because it reduces screen space. How can I get those buttons to work without the menu bar?

    Sounds like you have a corrupt '''places.sqlite''' file or corrupt '''localstore.rdf'''. Please see these articles which explain how to resolve the problem:<br><br>

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • In FF 3.6, adjoining the back forward button, there was a dropdown which allowed me to jump to any page in the history list of the tab. This feature is missing in FF4. Is there any setting to enable it?

  • When I click on a link the address does not display in the location bar in the new tab. Which makes the back/forward button and refresh buttons unable to be used

    When opening a link any link from firefox address does not display in the location bar. Even when navigating forward from there the address does not show back/forward button and refresh all rendered unable to be used

  • Why Have I lost the address bar, back/forward buttons etc, and how do I get them back or should i use internet explorer?

    After updating Fire fox I seem to have lost the address bar,back/forward buttons and all my little apps. How do I get it all back and stop it from happening again?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Today 21/06/10

    To get the Menu bar I followed the excellent advice - I had to press the Alt key and V to get the chance to pick toolbars from the drop down menu. I just right-clicked on the blank page and hit Alt-V.
    Thanks for the tip.
