How do I disable firefox going forward and back with four finger swipe?

Whenever I swipe with 4 fingers on my mac, firefox goes forward or back depending on the direction. I want it to stop doing this. How do I make it so?

You can also try to set the related browser.gesture prefs to an empty string value on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue

Shortcuts for previous/next page on german keyboard are unreliable

Hi there!
I'm struggeling with the previous/next page shortcut on my german MacBook Pro. When I open the "History" menu it says the command for "next page" is ⌘ + ] and "previous page" is ⌘ + [
But there are no such bracket keys on the german keyboard. To get those brackets I have to press Alt + 5 or Alt + 6. So I tried ⌘ + Leftarrow and ⌘ + Rightarrow, but those are kind of unreliable... Sometimes the arrow shortcuts work, sometimes they don't...
Is there any way to manually change the shortcut or is there an alternative shortcut hidden somewhere?
Cheers

I don't believe there is.

Pressing mouse wheel (or Ctrl + Left Mouse Click) on navigation arrows does not open previous/next page in new tab anymore

I am using the new Firefox Developer Edition as a stand-alone on Ubuntu, so I can still use the "old" version, too.
Everything seems to be working fine, as in I am logged in and setup sync. But a few features I got very much used to are no longer working.
When I click on "About Firefox Developer Edition", it shows these details:
Firefox Developer Edition 36.0a2 (2014-12-09)
Firefox Developer Edition is up to date
You are currently on the aurora update channel.
In my "old" Firefox, I can:
1. Click with the mouse wheel on the navigation arrows to open the previous or next page in a new tab.
2. "right mouse click" on the navigation arrows to see the list of previously visited pages of the current tab, and the ones I visited after the page I am on, if I clicked "back" once or more times. I can then click the mouse wheel or "Ctrl + Left Mouse Button" to open any of the pages in the list in a new tab.
None of this works in the Developer Edition.

To clarify, the list of previously or later visited pages does still show up when I right click on the navigation arrows in the Developer Version, but I cannot open any of the links in the list in a new tab with the mouse wheel or "Ctrl + Left Mouse Click".

I have Firefox 7.0.1 and would like to go forward and back more than one page at a time- how do I set this?

I used to have Firefox 6 that let me jump forward or back more than one page

You can right click on the back or forward button and jump to your required page.

Previous & next page on same page trick doesn't seem to work in CS4

I am working on a book of around 500 pages and would like to have a previous and next page number on my right page.
So I did some research on this and found the threading text box trick which seems to work fine if I do it on a page in my document.
But if I try to do it on my masterpage it doesn't work properly.I am not really in the mood to do this manually.
I am working on CS4 and from what I understand this seems to be a CS4 specific problem or bug because it works fine in CS3.
The only solution I found is to put the threaded page number boxes into a seperate layer on your master page and when your doc is finished you can override all your master page items (while you keep other layers locked of course).
Things get a bit tricky when you start inserting new pages though and it's not the ideal solution imo. So I was wondering if there isn't a better trick to pull this off. You can do so much with Indesign, that a simple thing like this isn't as straightforward as I thought it would be, really surprises me.

This is, unfortunately, a bug. I reported it and got a response from an Adobe engineer who is investigating it. He was unable to reproduce the problem from my description, so I sent a sample file, and I presume at this point they are figuring out what to do to fix it, hopefully in the next dot release and not in CS5.
That doesn't help you now, unfortunately, and it sounds to me like the layer idea is a really good one, better in fact than anything else I've seen or come up with myself.
I'm curious why you want to do this. I've never personally had a reason to do it, but you are at least the third person here in the last couple of months, and that's a trend. What is the purpose for having a next/previous page on every spread, or even putting both page numbers on one page?
Peter

There used to be a dropdown next to the arrows for going fwd and back through pages. It showed the last several pages visited. I also miss the option at closing that allowed you to reopen all the tabs you closed with. Can we get these features back?

What more do you need?

Firefox 4 will ''always'' save your tabs when you quit. To restore your tabs the next time you start Firefox, choose "Restore previous session" from the history menu, or press the "Restore session" button on the default Firefox home page.
If you still want to have Firefox prompt you when quitting (like it did in Firefox 3.6), you can enable some preferences in the "about:config" screen:

IPod: Randomly skipping forward and backward through songs

I purchased my iPhone almost 2 months ago and have been using the iPod almost every single day without any problems. The phone has the latest update (1.1.1). Yesterday I was listening to the iPod and a call came in; the music faded out, the persons picture came up on the screen, the phone started vibrating, but there was no sound and i could not answer the call. The phone froze in this position while constantly vibrating. I had to reset the phone (hold power and home button) to stop this. Now every time i try to listen to the iPod (regardless if i listen to an album or shuffle songs) it will make it about 20 seconds into the first song, randomly pause for 3 seconds, continue playing, pause again, continue playing, then skip to the next song, play for 2-3 seconds, skip back, play for a bit then skip to another song, pause, then continue playing... this process continues on forever and will not stop. I can temporarly relieve it by manually skipping through 6-7 songs but then it will eventually start back up again.
I have tried restarting the phone multiple times, powering it off, but it does not help... any ideas?

So i fixed my problem.
I tried restoring the software on the phone multiple times with no success. It was just restoring the phone with a previously corrupt back up file. So I went into the iPhone preferences in iTunes and erased all the backup files then restored it. This puts the phone back to how it was when you first bought it i.e. all presets reset: weather, stocks, etc. but if you have all your contacts saved on your computer they will sync right back in so it is not too bad. This fixed the problem (and even some other minor issues i was having).

Start Firefox and homepage is not displayed; cannot navigate back to previously viewed pages using back or forward arrows; bookmarks toolbar not available on start-up though selected in options menu.

1. Start firefox and my homepage is not displayed--there is no webpage displayed on initial startup. A homepage is listed in the options menu. In order to see homepage I need to manually press the home icon to the right of the search box.
2. I am not capable of using the navigation arrows to the left of the address bar to navigate to previously viewed webpages. The arrows are present but are gray. Is there a setting in the security tab of the options menu that disables the navigation arrows for security purposes (i.e. not remembering webpages or cookies, etc.)?
3. Though the bookmark toolbar is selected in the options menu, the bookmarks toolbar is not visible when starting firefox. Instead there is a red firefox toolbar located at the upper left of the screen. In order to view the bookmarks toolbar I need to go into the options menu and de-select the bookmarks toolbar (causes the red firefox toolbar to disappear) and then re-select the bookmarks toolbar.
Any information to help correct these issues is greatly appreciated.
Mike

''framerotblues'' suggestion worked for me. I was having the following problems after 10.0 update:
>No back/forward buttons.
>Nothing in address bar.
>Bookmark toolbar would not automatically load. Even though it was checked as a toolbar to view, I had to uncheck and check it again every time I closed/opened Firefox.
>Could not access add-ons. Neither through menu toolbar nor using ctrl-shift-a
Restarted Firefox with add-ons disabled (help->restart with add-ons disabled). Removed ''Facebook Disconnect'' from add-ons. Restarted and everything seems to be working.

Lost my music, is there any way to get it back through "previous itunes library" file?

About a 2 months ago I had to update my iTunes library, leading to this mess. The update told me that it didn't finish and that there was an error, so I had to reinstall all of my itunes. This led to all my songs having an exclamation point next to them. I didn't know how to get the music to each file so I got frustrated and deleted them. Then I found all of my songs and dragged them into itunes. Now, all my play counts, date of purchases, playlists, ratings, etc. are gone!! I noticed that there are "previous itunes libraries", one of which is from a couple days before all this happened. Is there ANY way at all that I can revert back to that file and it will have my playlists, play counts, etc.? ANY help will be greatly appreciated!!!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purcahses
You buy one and only one download. it is your responsibility to move copy/backup your purchases.

MY page up and down key does not what its suppose to do but now instead it goes forward or back a web page

Seems like since I installed the new Firefox my Page up and down key has stopped making my web pages go down or up but instead the page up key makes the web page go forward in history and the page down key makes it go back a webpage.

" Is there anyway the apple or my service provider can help me with this? "
No.
"What is the point of the app if it only works when the phone is on? "
The pont is to assist with locating a lost iphone.
"Then it is only usefull within those first couple of days."
Correct. How would any device be tracked if it had no power?
Very sorry for your situation, but there is nothing to do.
Report it to the police and change your passwords.

I have no forward or back arrows to change pages

I can not go to a previous page, I have to close the browser and start over again

Get back to the Customize window (you can also click on View | Toolbars | Customize to get there). You should see the various parts of your toolbar that are not currently deployed. Find the Back and Forward arrows and put your cursor on one of them. Click and hold down the button, and drag it into place on your toolbar. You can also drag the items around into the order that you are used to. Check out the other buttons that you might want to have.
This was a particularly frustrating upgrade, because unlike past upgrades, this one seems to have upset everyone's favorite setup, and the defaults are not the same as previously. Not very courteous of Mozilla.

I can't go to the previous/next page by swiping left/right

I am using Asus Vivobook Win 8, I can go to the previous webpage by swiping left with 3 fingers. I can do the same with Chrome but am wondering why this is not possible in firefox. Thanks!

Mozilla is working on a Metro/Win8 optimized firefox, the current firefox doesn't support touch, see below for installing the nightly metro version.

Previous or Next Page script...

I have a webpage where I'm trying to incorporate a button that allows users to click on it and be taken back to previous viewed pages. It's uses the browser's history. I've seen how people add this script with a hyperlink but I dont know how to add it to an image.
Does Dreamweaver have a way to insert this into an image?

You could use javascript:history

but I really don't see the point of adding buttons to your website to do what every browser is already programmed to do via the Back and Forward buttons.

On google news my browser goes bact to the top of the page whenever I move my mouse.

It's like a page reload every three seconds. I scroll down and it scrolls for a second and then goes right back to the top. How can I stop this.

Hi Robert, this is a bug that was reported in Firefox 19 and was scheduled to be fixed in Firefox 23 (released two days ago). I haven't tested myself, since I usually open multiple links for reading in separate tabs using Ctrl+click so I can save the time of going forward and back...
Earlier thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955793 Back in , I believe, Foxfire 3.0 when you return to a page instead of returning to the spot you left it always returned to the top of the page.]
