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.

In the latest two updates you can only go back one page at a time, previous versions allowed you to jump back several pages by choosing from the twistie - any suggestions?

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:

I click on link, for example story on ESPN I want to read, and I get redirected to another page, often ad site

I own a MacBook Air. On really any site I go to I click on a link and get redirected to another page, often an advertisement. For example, I am on ESPN and want to click on a story, when I click on the link, a new page or tab opens up. I have to x out to get to my story. I use Google and Safari. In Safari, I click on a story in ESPN and new page opens up as well. Can any one help?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

On January 6 2013 I Got My Brand New Ipod Stolen At After School On The Bus I Caught Someone Going In My Bag Nd Take My Headphone Nd I Snacth It From His Hand Nd Seacrh My Bag For My It Was The 5th Gen Black And Sliver With No Back Cam Nd It Was Gone :(

I Told The Bus Driver She Aint Call The Police. She Said Who Ever Got Gave It Up . Or When She Find Out Who Got My Ipod They Getting Expel....I Got Home Told My Mother She Took Me To The Police Satiton And They Didnt Do NOthing About It. But Say You Had Told The Bus Driver And I Said I Did And The Bus Driver Should Had Stop The Bus And Call The Police. They Would Had Check Everone On The Bus...I Called Apple They Told Me I Need To Call The Police And Report It....I Did But They Did Nothing So I Been Rob And I Lost Over $200 Dollar On A Ipod

Your really report it to the police in case they happen to recover it. thus they know to whom to return it.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

When typing in the Find Bar, sometimes the caret goes away without clicking or moving the mouse. This also happens when backspacing in the Find Bar, and results in going back one page in the browser. How can this be remedied?

Sometimes the carat goes away after one letter, while other times I can get an a few letters in before having to re-click inside the text box in the bar.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your 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")

Flash: After right clicking, left click causes browser to go back one page

Flash version:MAC 10,1,102,64
Operating system: Mac OS X 10.6.4
Browser: Both Firefox and Safari
Hello
When I right click in a flash area / window, I can bring up the menu to access settings, global settings and the like. I can left click options on this menu, for instance, I can bring up the settings menu in the flash area.
However, when I attempt to left click anywhere on the flash area after right clicking, my browser will go back one page. For instance, if I right click on the flash area, don't click any of the 'right-click menu' options, left click on flash-free area in the browser window, then my browser is fine...but if i then left click in the flash area my browser will take me back one page.
This happens in both Safari and Firefox. I am not sure at what level this problem is on: OS, browser, or flash...but seeing as it happens on Safari and Firefox I assume it may be either a Flash or an OS problem.
I've Googled for this but I can't find any similar questions...has this happened to anyone before?
Cheers

When I open my internet and got to say the Macy's website and try to bring up all pages in the handbags dept, the screen goes black and it returns to the screen that has all my icons on it. Why?

Safari is crashing.
Try a reset:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

Hello BoreOne,
I'm sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your Firefox settings.
Damn leprechauns are everywhere!
It seems like the damage isn't too big and we should be able to fix it easily...
Simply reset your profile settings (delete and create new) by following the intructions in the [[Managing profiles|managing profiles]] support article and perhaps [[How to clear the cache|clear your cache]]. This should normally and hopefully set you up!
If you still require assistance regarding this issue or have any more inquiries regarding the matter, please let me know in a reply below.
If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as ''Solution''.
Thank you for your valuable time and patience, and all your interest in Mozilla Firefox. Surf safe and have a great day!

I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab"?

I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab."
I click ctrl+t, click the new tab button, right click the tab bar and hit "new tab", and even click "File" and hit "New Tab", but it still won't open a tab!
This has been going on for a week!
I know it may not seem like too much of a problem since I can still open a tab, but it's terribly inconvenient that I can only open one by clicking a link.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Firefox immediately switching to new tab even when that feature is disabled on right-click open in new tab or on ctrl+click a link. Please help.

Firefox switches immediately to new tab or the immediate next tab if multiple tabs are open, even when the respective feature is disabled, whenever I open a link by -
1. Right-click > open in new tab
2. Ctrl + click a link
Earlier it did not happen like this. It is really very annoying. Re-installation and clean installation of the latest version did not helped.
And this is happening mainly when I am using Facebook. Earlier it never happened so with Facebook.

I don't have the divX plug-in and I still have this problem. Why should plug-ins that are not even triggered by the affected pages alter Firefox's behavior. Feels like bad architecture.

I can download and open pdfs on my macbook air. Why can't I open a pdf from a webpage?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go > Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Can't connect to any webpages with any browser

Our Powerbook G4 can not connect to any webpages with any browser (safari, firefox, IE) but other TCP/IP applications work fine. IE, the AOL application can connect via TCP/IP, iChat and skype both work fine.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Alan

It sounds to me like either a DNS server issue, or your Mac is looking for a web proxy and not finding it.
If you don't have the DNS server filled out in your network settings, find out the DNS IP info from an ISP and try inputting it.
Also, click on the Proxies tab in Network Settings to see if you have a proxy configuration listed (either automatic config or manually inputted proxies per port). If you do, disable the proxies and try again. If not, see if you can get the web proxy info for where you are from either your ISP or your work place.

The Back button only allows me to go back one page at a time instead of selecting a previous page from a drop-down list. This is a real problem: anyone have any ideas?

In the previous version of Firefox, I could go back to a previous webpage by clicking on a part of the Back button which brought up a list of recently visited sites, and by clicking one of these, could jump straight back to that page. This facility does not seem to be available in the latest Firefox, and the Back button only goes back one page at a time. This is really inconvenient, as,
it now takes longer to get to an earlier page
there is no visibility of previous pages visited
any actions carried out on webpages are undone when going back through them - this does not happen when jumping back several pages in one go.
This is a real problem as I used to the old system constantly, and cannot continue to use Firefox 4.0 unless there is a way around it.

For me, I have the same question, this is a poorly done upgrade and I want to go back to 3.6

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).
