Tried solutions but still unable to restore back and forward buttons

I have clicked on View and Navigation Customize but don't see Back or Forward icons to drag up to the Navigation Toolbar. The Back and Forward arrows are still missing

* If toolbar items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

*Still* unable to reposition back and forwad buttons

I posted about this when the problem began with version 29, and have have posted since then, but the problem has not been corrected.
Starting with version 29, I cannot put the back and forward buttons where I want. They are stuck to the left edge of the address field. I do not want them there. I want them on the far left as the first buttons with other buttons between them and the address field.
I can put the buttons wherever I want in every other browser. I am so damn annoyed and frustrated with Mozilla because of this. They have reduced options. They have reduced they ability to customize controls. They should not have done this and they should have corrected it by now. I will have to use Safari, or Chrome, or *anything* but Firefox because it is the only browser with this limitation.
Why the hell aren't they listening? Why are they reducing choice? Why don't they care? Damn it!

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to customize the appearance in Firefox 29 and later and make it look like older Firefox versions.
*Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
*You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
*You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

How do i make the back and forward buttons function? they are visible but not functional.

I have firefox 8.0.1 and my back and forward button are not working. They are visible but not functioning. I have tried starting in safemode and without any add-ons and the back and forward buttons are still not functioning. What do I need to do to make the buttons functional?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

The back and forward buttons on Logitech mouse don't work

My logitech performance MX back and forward buttons don't work. I tried in safe mode and they still don't work. I tried creating a custom shortcut in logitech setpoint and that didn't work either. I tried using the native mouse driver and not logitech. No luck.
I really like this functionality. Is there a way to enable these buttons?

Hi mike,
i'm not sure if this will help but how about this add-on called "Vimperator". It is easy to use and works like vim. (Try this as an alternate till we figure out the problem) :)
Hope that helped.

Vista Ultimate, Firefox 4.01 just installed. The back and forward buttons do not work with this new installation. Help please.

O?S is Vista Ultimate 32 bit fully updated. I have just installed Firefox 4.01. I have lost use of back and forward buttons - they are greyed out. Is there a solution please?

It is possible to have earlier data in a tab if the latest tab had target="_top" that means the back key will not work, but if your right-click on the back/forward you see a context menu. As far as I know the only difference between 3.6 and 4.0 ws that the drop-down arrow was dropped but like before you can still right-click.
There are some extensions that mess with the Back/Forward buttons.
There is a difference between gray and '''black''' on the buttons, '''black''' means there is history in that direction.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.17, 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 look like 3.6)]

In firefox 4.0.1 the back and forward buttons are "dead".

In firefox 4.0.1 the back and forward buttons are "dead". My system runs WindowsXP. I tried many times: safe-mode, upgrade from FirefoxF3.6., reinstallation in a new folder, creating new profile...........BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE.!!! What am I suppose to do? NoteQ in my another computer at home i have WinXP and the Firefox4.0.1 works perfectly!!!! Am I crazy???

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Safari 2.0.3 - Back and Forward buttons disappeared

The Back and Forward buttons that are normally found next to the address bar have vanished. If you move the mouse over their position and click they show and activate, but is just a blank space when mouse pointer is not there. Have tried reloading them from the toolbar preferences, but the icons dont appear there either, just the space where theyshould be.

Stephen,
Quit Safari, find the com.apple.Safari.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder, drag it to the Desktop, and log in/out or restart and let us know what happens.

The back and forward button stay disabled after upgrading to Firefox 4

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and the back and forward buttons are never enabled. I see them, but they are not working.
History works, recently closed pages work, bookmarks work.
I disabled all addons, uninstalled FF4, deleted \Program Files\Firefox, re-installed, kept extensions disabled, removed all backups from bookmarkbackups, deleted places.sqlite and still nothing.
What else can I do?

Norton has a fix out. See: http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-Toolbar-5-5-incompatible-with-Firefox-4-RC1/td-p/411556/page/2

Back and Forward button disappear in SAP CRM IC

Hi Experts,
I am facing a strange issue which i suspect has some dependency on the IE or Java .
Please help me out if anybody has any clue on the same as to why is this occuring or what can be done to resolve it or even if there would be any logs registered from which I can find out what is the root cause.
Issue :
Sme agents when using the Interaction Center , finds their back and forward button disappears all of a sudden. There is no definite pattern happening, it could be like when they try to send outbound emails from a Service Request , all of a sudden the back and forward button goes away from the Email page.
Most of the times, it happens when they are trying to send outbound emails. But some instances have been reported even when they are in some other screen in IC and all of a sudden their back and forward button disappears. So they have no option to go back or forward using these buttons and only work around would be to try to End the transaction using the 'End' button and start over all again.
Appreciate any help if anyone has faced similar issue.
Thanks
Swapna.

Hi,

Mouse back and forward buttons don't work

I have a Dell wireless bluetooth mouse. I installed Safari 4, and I like it a lot. I am thinking of ditching IE, but the back and forward buttons on my mouse don't do anything in Safari. It's very frustrating having to click the back button on screen instead of directly on my mouse. The buttons work perfectly in IE and in Windows explorer. I reinstalled the mouse drivers, but to no avail. Any ideas?

Did u get any software for your mouse? What brand is your mouse? I have Logitech setpoint software, where I can adjust mouse profile, setup mouse buttons action... I also have option (checkbox) to make my mouse use windows generic settings (the one you have in Control Panel under mouse section.
Now, this is just an idea, but it's good start point.
What you can also do (if you have such software installed) to uninstall it, restart, and see if Safari back/forward will work. Maybe this software (for some bizarre reason) conflicts Safari default action (as you said you don't have such problem in Fx)
Let me know if this worked for you.
Cheers,
Miki
EDIT: Before you do all this, maybe it's easier for you (if possible) to try another mouse, to see if you have same issues or not

Back and forward button hover image?

I'm trying to find the property to change the background image of the back and forward button while in hover status. I can't find it for anything, I've searched for almost an hour.
( And for some reason you can't upload an image while posting the question, so here is an example: http://i.imgur.com/fM5kIrZ.png )

Disable back and Forward button

How could we make Browser Back and Forward buttons disable in JSP?.
So that we just activate the buttons inside JSP page.
Thanks

see if the following line included in any of your common .js file to all pages helps.
window.history.forward(1);
buttons are not disabled but when you click on them action is not performed
if you have no common .js file for all pages include follwing in all jsp pages and check out
<script language=javascript>
window.history.forward(1);
</script>

My browser and back and forward button has disapered

My web browser field (http://) and the arrows back and forward on top of page has dissapered. I have reinstalled Firefox, but that did´t help.

Check if the instructions in this article help: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Back%20and%20forward%20or%20other%20toolbar%20buttons%20are%20missing Back and forward buttons missing].

With version 5 of Firefox, if I open more than 1 session, most of the time I cannot see anything in the navigation bar and my back and forward buttons do not work.

I open 1 session of Firefox 5.0.1 and everything seems to work fine. Then I open a second session of Firefox and most of the time the navigation bar does not show the page that I am on and the back and forward buttons do not work. When this happens, the first session always remains working. I am an internet marketer so I have at least 2 or 3 sessions going at any given time.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
