The back/forward buttons on the tool bar only go one page at a time. I used to be able to click a drop-down and select how far back/forward I wanted to go. How can I get that back

I can only navigate back/forward one page at a time. The drop down box that used to allow me to see the recent pages and select the page I wanted to go to was immediately to the right of the "forward" button. I can right click over the forward/back buttons and get the dropdown list of recent sites.

Use right-click on the back/forward buttons to bring up the context menu, the drop down was never needed, and I had suppressed it for a long time to save space.
that is item #5 in the following, you might want to check out other items there.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' 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)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

When I click on GBookmarks the menu doesn't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again?

When I click on GBookmarks on the menu bar, my bookmarks don't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again? What shows up now when I click on the GBookmarks are 4 choices: Add bookmarks, manage bookmarks, options, and refresh. How can I get my menu of booksmarks to drop down again? I can go to manage bookmarks and then find my bookmarks, but it's a 3 step process now instead of one. What happened here?

The reviews for the GBookmarks extension agree that there is some problem recently.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/gbookmarks-google-bookmarks-fo/
The support page lists an email address for support: http://www.suchisoft.com/ext/gbookmarks.php
I ran a web search for other recent discussion and didn't come up with any answers. Hopefully the extension's author has time to look into it.

Transferred bookmarks from Chrome not showing on bookmarks toobar - only on nested drop down menu. How can I get them on the toolbar?

Was using Chrome - now using Firefox 8.0.1
I copied and imported bookmarks from Chrome, but they only show up on the 2nd tier drop-down "Bookmarks" tab. How can I get them to show up on the Book marks Toolbar (without re-bookmarking them all)? Thank you.

Re-arrange those bookmarks so they are in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder.

Made a drop down menu. How can I get the drop down to fade in and out? !

Hi guys!
I've created a drop down menu (with the help of you legends on here! )...Now I just need it to animate so when the user hovers over the main menu item, the drop down fades in.
Here's the HTML I have...
 <ul id="nav">
 <li><a href="#">Nav 1</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Nav 2</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Nav 3</a>
 <ul>
 <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 1</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 2</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 3</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 4</a></li>
 </ul>
 </li>
 <li><a href="#">Nav 5</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Nav 6</a></li>
 </ul>
...and here's my CSS...
ul#nav {width:920px; height:35px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; z-index:999;}
ul#nav li a:hover, #nav li a:active {background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}
ul#nav li a {color:#E0E2E7; display:inline-block; float:left; margin:0; padding:10px 19px; width:auto; text-decoration:none;}
* html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 6 */
* + html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 7 */
#nav ul {width:208px; left:-9999em; list-style:none; margin:35px 0; padding:0; position:absolute; z-index:999;}
#nav li:hover ul {left:auto;}
#nav li {float:left;}
#nav li li a {width:190px; background-color:#efefef; color:#2e2e2e; padding:8px; margin:0; }
#nav li li a:hover {background-color:#000; background-image:none; color:#FFF;}
#nav li:hover {background:url(assets/images/frame/navOn.jpg);}
From what I can make out, I assume I need either Javascript or JQuery...
Does anyone know how I can get the drop down to fade in and out?
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Yes, you'll need a client-side script to do fade-in/fade-out fx. Look at jQuery Superfish.

With version 4 why can't I go back more than one page at a time. Used to be able to jump back with older version.

I don't want to refresh - I want to be able to jump back several pages - i.e..on one site - link took me to another site - done with that one - want to go back quickly to the original site..?

The dropmarker (down-arrow) has been removed from the Back/Forward button in Firefox 4. You can do one of the following:
*right-click the Back/Forward button to show the drop-down list of history/sites for the tab
*while on the Back/Forward button, left-click and HOLD until the drop-down list appears
*install this extension to add the drop-marker Back/Forward button: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/

I backed up my new iphone using icloud. Everything came up but my music didnt. How can i get that music back?

Please help!!

Music is not part of the backup. Either re-download it if you purchased it from the app store, or sync it to the phone from the itunes library on your computer, where it should already be.

If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

If you don't have the movie on the old computer and you don't have the movie backed up on a disc somewhere, your only choice is to purchase the movie again. Currently, movie downloads are a one time deal andit is your responsibility to have a backup copy.
If you have the movie on the other computer still, you can burn it to a DVD and then copy it over to the new computer.
Personally, I have two computers and when I make a purchase on one, iTunes automatically copies it to the other and I have never lost videos or music in this manner.

I got sound back, but I no longer have the iTunes Radio! How can I get that back?

I got the sound back after resetting, but the iTunes Radio did not come back! How can I get that back?

Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

I recently purchased an album on my iphone but it didnt sync to my pc, the phone was subseqeuntly stolen, how can i get that album onto my itunes?

If you bought it from the iTunes Store, click here and follow the instructions; the process of iTunes Store content being put in the iCloud is automatic.
If you got it from another source, reload it from that source.

HT4623 I am trying to get my contacts of an old Iphone. It show the Itunes logo and the usb portion of the plug in cord. How can I get that to go away so I can get my old contacts off of it?

I am trying to get my contacts of an old iphone 3. It show the Itunes logo and the usb connector of the phone charger. How can I get that off the phone and access my contacts.
Ideas anyone?

You need to plug it in to iTunes. Once it starts working again, back up the old iPhone to iCloud then go to iCloud in settings. Turn on contacts then you get them back. Another option is to back up to iTunes with the old one, then on the new one, go on iTunes, click restore backup, and choose the old iPhone. I suggest using icloud. Hope it helps!

Hello Krazyboutgolf,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS 7: Understanding Location Services
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5594
Improving GPS accuracy2,4
GPS accuracy varies depending on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. Use these tips to improve GPS accuracy:
Ensure the date, time, and time zone are correctly set on the device in Settings > General > Date & Time. If possible, use Set Automatically.
Important: Incorrect settings on your computer can sync to your device. Verify the date, time, and time zone on any computer that syncs with your device.
Restart your device.
Verify that you have a cellular or Wi-Fi network connection. This allows the Assisted GPS (A-GPS) on the device to locate visible GPS satellites faster, in addition to providing initial location information using the Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
Note: Microcells (sometimes called Femtocells) aren't supported with Location Services.
Maintain a clear view of the horizon in several directions. Keep in mind that walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions can block line of sight to GPS satellites. When this occurs, your device will automatically use Wi-Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are visible again.
Best of luck,
Mario
