Mozilla won't let me use the back button. How do I enable it?

I recently downloaded Mozilla. I like it but the only thing that I cannot do is use the back button. It won't let me use it. The color that highlights the back button is dimmed. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Do you get a drop-down list if you keep the left mouse button pressed on the Back button?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
You can check the browser.sessionhistory.* pref(s) on the about:config page and reset user set (bold) prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Try this .... reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

The liquify tool in my CS6 only has cross hair and won't let me use the tool like it's supposed to. How do I fix that?

Er, Audition doesn't have a liquify tool. Dunno which CS6 app does, but that's the forum you should post on.

Hey idontevenknowwhattodoaboutthis,
It sounds like you may be having issues with a Wi-Fi connection. If you have determined that the issue is with your phone and not with the particular Wi-Fi hotspot you are using, then you will want to use the following article to help you troubleshoot this:

* If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .

After doing a Google search, I click on a link and go to the searched web page. When I go back to the Google page using the back button the links I originally clicked on no longer show as "greyed out". Any idea what is going on with the browser?

Check and tell if its working.

Only in Firefox, a button on my web page is disabled after going to a page, then back using the back button.

I have a web application that contains a physicians search page:
http://www.hshsmedicalgroup.com/SearchPhysician.aspx
I do the following:
Select "find a physician"
Type "Smith"
Press "search"
Select Smith entry
Press "back" on browser
"search" button is now disabled
Only happens when you get back using the Back button.
This doesn't happen in I.E. or Chrome.
I see the issue in Firefox 3.6.13, 4.0 and 4.01.
OS: Windows XP, Windows 7 and Mac.

I would suspect a slightly incompatible addon of causing that to happen.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

Hi there,
Can you please share your Captivate version?(Help>About Adobe Captivate)

Private Window allows previously visited pages to be seen using the Back button.

Private windows seem to be less private than non-Private windows:-
1) In a Private Window the Back button allows previously visited pages to be determined.
2) In a non-Private window Clear History removes previously visited pages (so that they aren't accessible using the Back button).
3) Clear History (Ctrl-Shift-Delete) isn't available in Private windows.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Safari why can I not use the back button

Hi;
Ever since I upgraded tp Mountain Lion I cannot use the back button to return to an previous website.
It seems I can only use the back button if I am going back within the current web site.
In other words:
I am in website A and go to a website B (home Page) and in website B I open another page, when I hit the back button it will go back to the home page of website B BUT then the back button is gray and no longer allows to to go back to the website A.
Yes, there are tabs that have web pages but they are shortened.
Thanks
Greg

Thanks, Not sure why when I got mountain lion it dropped it.
Thanks again
Greg
