No back button after opeing new tab from link

If I’m viewing a site like Craigslist and click on a new link, it opens that link on the same page and all is well. If I do a Google search and click on a link from that page, a NEW TAB opens to view that page. However, the back button is gray and won’t let me use it. I have to close the new tab in order to get back to my original search page.
I’ve read many posts on this for the last TWO HOURS and finally gave up. I don’t believe I have Mcafee or site advisor so I don’t think that’s the problem. But obviously I’m not smart enough to figure this out so maybe I do have it. ARG
Any suggestions would be welcome!
Thank you

Each tab has its own history, there is no way to "go back" in a "new tab" to the history of the "parent tab".
Google specifically has its own user setting for whether a hyperlink opens in the same tab or a new tab. I suspect that if you clear your Google cookies in Firefox that will change your Google prefs saved in that cookie to opening hyperlinks in the same tab.

I can't open new tabs from links in a site, while it is possible from chrome.

In this site http://www.thepressproject.gr/ I can't open the links in new tabs, while for the same site using chrome I can. When I right click on the link, i don't have the usual options (open in new tab, open in new window, bookmark etc.). It is as if it doesn't "see" the links at all and the options are for the main page.
What is wrong?
(I am sorry for my english, I hope I make sense!)

That is a really strange issue. I've never heard of it before nor can I figure out how to fix it. What I'd recommend doing is disabling all your add-ons to see if that fixes the problem. If it does, one of your add-ons is causing the issue. If it doesn't, try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|starting Firefox is Safe Mode]] to see if the issue disappears. If the problem doesn't happen in Safe Mode, it's a problem with something that runs in Firefox when you start it normally (could be settings, plug-ins, add-ons, etc). If you can't figure out what is causing the problem in Safe Mode or you know the problem but can't solve it, the easiest thing to do is to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset Firefox]] or completely reinstall Firefox, described below:
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]].

Opening a new tab from link without moving to the new tab

Hi, first of all thanks to the firefox team for such a innovative product, without this browser my day is incomplete.
I have a query, when we use Alt+Ctrl+T to open a link in a new tab the focus also moves to the target new tab. Is there any shortcut/feature where in the focus remains in the source tab even though the link is opened in the new tab. It would be really helpful for people like me who do a lot of reading over the internet.

Tools > Options > Tabs: [ ] "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"
This issue can be caused by an extension.
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.

Making a new tab from link or blank tab it shows my original tab site and i cant do anything with it. how do i fix this!?

When i add a new tab in all the ways possible it places a new tab but just shows the same site that is on the 1st tab and i cant do anything with it and still says new tab.
if i wanted to bring a link up in a new tab it does this and if i want a blank tab. i have to open a new window.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* 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. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

New (3mo) macbook air screen goes black and sometimes won't come back on after I unplug it from the power cord. Any ideas why it is doing this? Sometimes I have to hold power button for 10 seconds for it to shut off then back on.

New (3mo) macbook air screen goes black and sometimes won't come back on after I unplug it from the power cord. Any ideas why it is doing this? Sometimes I have to hold power button for 10 seconds for it to shut off then back on. Sometimes holding the power button for a second is enough for it to come back on.

I took it to the Genius Bar, and they identified it as a hardware issue. Just got it back today. Parts replaced were:
620-5629 Display Module — Symptom: Distored/blurred/focus video issue
605-3284 Top Case with Keyboard — Symptom: specific key(s) do not work
So far so good. I'd suggest taking it in and not trying to work around it — it's a rare hardware issue (given the number of threads about it) and should be replaced.

Open new tab from any webpage, click any link on new tab, waits till the page is loaded and try to go back one page on new tab (arrow is disabled).

It happens whenever I open new tab from any wabpage. Once the tab is opened and initial webpage is loaded I may use any link to jump on another, second webpage in same tab. However, if I want to go back on initial webpage I can't do it cause that option (arrow) is disabled. I could use link on second webpage to jump on third, and only at that moment go back option becomes available again. However, I could not ever go back on initial webpage any more. As initial webpage has never existed.
It happens quite often (95%).

Right click the Back button and select the page you want to go back to from the list.
If the list is too long to display via the Back button, hit CTRL+H, change the view to "Last Visited" and then load it from there instead.

I accidentally managed to delete the "New Tab" from the Navigation tool bar and I can't get it back. Can you help?

I wanted to rearrange to Navigation toolbar and accidentally deleted the "Add new tab" from it. I now have the "Stop loading this page", "Reload current page" and "Home" buttons, but the new tab button is gone! I checked the "Customize" panel, but it's vanished from there too. All that's there is a "Open in a new window" tool. I'm aware that i can open a new tab just by clicking the plus next to the open tabs or Ctrl+T, but I'm used to doing it with the actual button, so I'd be grateful if you could help me.
Thanks :)

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar. 
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions. 
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window. 
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

My desk top shortcuts to favorite web sites only open in a blank page. I have to then reload in a new tab from the toolbar or a bookmark. It is annoying but not critical.

I have shortcuts on my desktop for yahoo mail and a few other sites. I used to be able to go directly to them. Now it opens in a blank page and I have to load the site in a new tab from the toolbar shortcuts or a bookmark. Also my saved passwords no longer exist. It all happened after a firefox upgrade to my yahoo tool bar.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day!

Open Firefox -> Go to View -> Toolbars -> Chechmark on "Navigation Toolbar"
this will bring back your address bar (where you type links to go to websites :P )

Opening in new tab from a pinned tab

I use a lot pinned tabs for gmail and facebook, but there is something that is frustrating me about opening new tabs from those pinned one.
Let's say that I have more that 50 tab, if I try to open a new tab from a pinned tab, the new tab will be created at the top of the list, just near the pinned one. This is really frustrating since I don't want to go back on the top of the tab list.
Is there a way to make firefox open the new tabs at the end of the tab list ?
Thank you.

you're very welcome :))

Audio keeps playing when opening multiple new tabs from bookmarks folder

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has noticed this behaviour in Safari and if its intentional or perhaps a bug.
If I have a website open with some audio playing (like a youtube video etc...) and then open some new tabs from a bookmarks folder by choosing "Open in Tabs", the audio from the video in the previous tab will keep playing in the background. However, any tabs that were open before (including the one with the audio) seems to have been automatically closed when choosing the "Open in Tabs" option so there doesn't appear to be a way to stop the audio, other than closing Safari.

You're welcome.
Could you please click the "''Solved It''" button next to the post which solved the problem for you? This will help others searching for a solution to the same question.
Thanks.

How to disable browser back button after session logout..

Hi;
I want to restrict the user to use the back button after session expired or logout. By doing the session expired we are restricting the user to do any new work but I want to restrict the user to see the back pages that he surfed previously in the session.
Is there any method to disable the browser back button after the session Expired?
please help me to find out the solution..
Thanks in advance.
With Regards,
Haramohan

One possible way is automatic return to the current page by writing the following Javascript code to the previous page:
<script language=JavaScript>
function backButtonOverride(){
setTimeout("backButtonOverrideBody()", 1);
function backButtonOverrideBody(){
try {
history.forward();
} catch (e) {}
setTimeout("backButtonOverrideBody()", 100);
</script>
<%
catch(Exception e){
%>
<jsp:forward page="front.jsp"></jsp:forward>
<%
%>
