Mouse Forward/Back Button - Frames not Working

FireFox 4 - The mouse back button (programmed Alt/left arrow + Alt/right arrow) does not support browser window with split panes - multiple scrolling window panes. The front/back mouse buttons works with the left window pane, but not the right frame does not work. This worked in previous version.

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")

Back button does not work and homepage does not show on startup

My back and forward buttons do not work anymore. they just show grey and I can not click on them.
Also my home page does not show when i start firefox.
I reinstalled firefox 4 and then went back to firefox 3.6.16 and have the same problem in both versions.
Not sure what to do anymore
I just found out that when I open a second window everything works fine in the second window, but it still does not work in the first window.
When I close both windows the same thing happens. The first window my home page does not show up and the back button does not work, but the second window works normal. Including my home page.

Yeah, I am having the same problem (with 4.0 and earlier versions). It is really frustrating to say the least. I never thought I'd say this, but I might have to go back to IE if FF is going to be this useless. I noticed that you have to right click (instead of left click like it works in the real world) on the backwards/forwards buttons, and that is no less frustrating since my mouses backwards/forwards buttons no longer work with this new asinine button set up.

The back button does not work consistently, and rarely works if I open an attachment...any ideas on fixing this?

The back button does not work consistently, and rarely if ever when I open an attachment. Does anyone have a fix for this?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I installed firefox

Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

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.

There is no longer a "close tab" under the file menu, so how do I go back to a previous page when the back button will not work?

Often the back button will not work. I can find no "close tab" under the menus, which I think used to be there, and which is used with Internet Explorer to go to the previous page. How can I go back to the previous page with Firefox when the back button will not work?

No you can't. Apple don't support downgrading of iOS.

All of a sudden my back button does not work at all, on any site, and when I start Firefox it does not go to the home page I specified

Just a few days ago, I noticed that when I start Firefox it goes to a blank page, despite the fact that I have several times checked and rechecked under "Options" and my home page is in there. Also the back button has stopped working. I have made sure that inprivate browsing is not enabled, history is maintained etc etc

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Browser back button does not work (IE) - Error On Page message

Just take over website from our designer; I'm new, probably doing more fiddling on the live remote website than I should be...
http://www.cmcwny.org
Error On Page message, internal links work, but the browser Back button does not (at least in IE).
I have a backup of my local site from before this happened, but I do not know how to actually replace it.
Any help on either issue will be appreciated, thanks!

Hi
First, get rid of your designer, the page design/code is a mess.
There are a number of problems with the page, not least being the disabling of the back button in all browsers I tested it in, (visitors may visit once with this, but are unlikely to do so a 2nd time).
The menu system is a fixed size so that when the browser is resized it overflows the browser window.
The use of tables for layout is not recommended as it is inaccessible to users using assistive devices.
To put this more politely, if you paid for this, ask for your money back. If you did not pay, then start again and use one of the dreamweaver layouts for your page, for more info, see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing_new_css_layouts.html.

Firefox 4 was functioning well until two days ago. Browser will not open to my home page and tool bars do not appear. Was able to find toolbar but "back" button does not work. What changed?

Firefox now opens to a blank page and the word Firefox appears in upper left hand corner in orange. It, apparently, contains a drop down menu. I can navigate from here but "back" button does not function in any website. How do I get it back to where it was previous to this change?

You can change this if you don't mind peeking under the covers into Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
(i) Page thumbnails (default)
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
(ii) Blank tab
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
(iii) Built-in Firefox home page
browser.newtab.url = about:home
(iv) Any other page
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

Back button is not working properly

Navigation back is not possible to the first page. the defect was found with firefox 4 beta rc1.
Open fresh page and open any website. Click on any link which navigates you to new page in the same tab. Back button is not active and coming back to the first page is impossible, however from second page onwards problem does not exists.
My understanding is the stack holding "back" links is not storing page 0 but all.
Should be simple enough to fix. It has cost me lot of important links.

The back button will take you back one page. If you need to go back further than the first page then simply right click on the button.

On Firefox 4, the back button does not work on a new browsing tab or window.

Ever since I installed Firefox 4, I have noticed a problem that was not present with the previous version of Firefox. Whenever I open up Firefox and enter in a new web address, I cannot use the back arrow to go back to my original homepage; the arrow is ghosted out. The same problem exists when I open up a new browsing tab. Let me explain with an example. I open up my browser, and then I open a new tab (now there are two tabs open). In the new tab I type www.espn.com. Then I click on a link on espn.com. Say then I want to go back to the espn.com homepage that I just previously visited. I can't do it by clicking the back arrow; it's ghosted out. I have to physically type the address again (www.espn.com). Why has this changed? Is there a way to fix it? Why can't I just click the back arrow to go back to the espn.com homepage that I typed in originally (or my original homepage if I opened up a new window instead of a tab)? Oddly enough, if I go one link deeper into the espn.com site, I can then go back to the immediately preceding webpage, but not all the way back to the original espn.com homepage.
I can't stand IE, but it doesn't have this problem. This problem also was not present on the old version of Firefox. I just verified this by testing the old version which I have installed on another computer.
Please advise.

My back button is not working. How do I fix this?

I used to be able to go forward or backward using the arrow buttons on top of the page. I have made no changes on Fire Fox except to download the current version. How can I fix this?

I guess that means you updated from 3.6.* because Firefox 4 through 7 are are the same see item #4 and item #5 in
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

The browser back button is not working correctly when using the search funtion in ProBoards forums. Is there a known issue with ProBoards & FF?

I have submitted a bug report to ProBoards, but they cannot duplicate the problem I am having, so I am submitting this here in hopes you can find a solution.
At ProBoards Support and another PB forum while doing searches I found this problem, which continues with repeated testing over the past week or so:
url: http://support.proboards.com/search
1. enter perameters for the search (posts only by staff for the last 2 days)
2. choose one of those post results & click on it (choose a post on page 14 and not on page 1 of the results)
3. using the browser back button, attempt to return to the previous page of search results
4. rather than being taken back to the search results with my parameters, the search parameters have been removed and the page show 1000 results of posts by everybody.
I have tested this over and over again, disabling plugins, and nothing seems to alter the malfunctioning of the back button when I am doing this search function at ProBoards.
I have tested it in Internet Explorer and find that in IE the browser back button works properly with ProBoards searches. I always get the result I expect, so it's a problem with how FF interfaces with ProBoards, I think.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

My back button does not work because the prior screen does not appear in the history. I therefore must go back to the blue screen and reload safari. Apple tech support could not help. Can anyone else help?

After I installed mountain lion my back button frequently does not work because the prior screen does not appear iunder History. Apple tech support was not able to fix the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken!

Magic mouse forward backward swiping does not work from time to time

Hello...
from time to time the forward/backward swiping functionality of my magic mouse does not work (The scrolling works though). Disconnecting and reconnecting does not do the trick. So I guess it might be a software problem. Restarting the iMac does not always help at once. After a couple of times it will work though again.
Can anyone help?
