Whenever I hit BACK the history list stays open below it until I click away from it in the window.

It used to disappear once you moved the mouse away from the list/back button but it seems to stay up almost every time now until I hit a key/mouse button etc. I tried to take a screenshot but when I hit print screen the drop down list disappears.

Or double click on the bar to the far right and it will reset.

After I have clicked away from firefox, whatever was displayed will leap to the front, obscuring my other programs.

It starts with me viewing something on Firefox or whatever. Then I either alt+tab or taskbar click onto another window. After a second or so, the firefox window will pull itself to the front. It won't draw focus, my computer will still think I'm on whatever the window was, but everything will be completely obscured by whatever was on the Firefox window. The only way to make it go away is to minimize the Firefox window itself.

The two more recent ones are crashes in the Flash plugin. The three earlier ones terminate in a way that Firefox wasn't able to detemine exactly how it crashed.
It is interesting that this happens in the middle of the night. Can you think of any backup, security scan, disk cleanup, or privacy scrubbing processes that might be touching Firefox files around that time?
The Flash crashes are linked to a bug that indicates it is an unresolved issue with the Flash plugin's protected mode feature. That feature has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. You can do this by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.

IPad has not backed up to iCloud in 8 weeks - How do I move away from this notice?

The iPad has a message titled "iCloud Backup" that states: "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 8 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi". However, I cannot click the OK to navigate away. I cannot turn the iPad off or do anything, because this pop up. I can see a message below this notice that advised to go to Settings and make changes, but I cannot get to Settings because the popup will not go away when clicking OK.
Could you please advise?

I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6. I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever. I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes. All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever. I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved.

Bookmarks menu subfolders drop down and block permanently lower bookmarks unless I click away from the menu entirely.

I'm using a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8, and I just recently upgraded from Firefox 4 to 5. Since then my Bookmarks menu has been a nightmare. I have a lot of long bookmark names, but that's never ever been a problem for me - Firefox used to cut them off at a certain length and use ellipses to indicate a longer title. Now when I pull down the Bookmarks menu it's super WIDE.
Additionally, I have to click on the Bookmarks menu title first, then when it drops down I have to move my mouse off to the side and quickly find what I want lest I trigger a subfolder. When a subfolder gets opened, it doesn't go away. My mouse will move up and down other options if they're not wholly covered by the subfolder dropdown, but NOTHING will be highlighted except the subfolder. Not even another subfolder will be triggered when I let my mouse rest of it; I have to click on the website already loaded or my desktop to make the subfolder drop down go away.
I cannot browse my extensive Bookmarks list at all this way. I've got 20 subfolders and a bunch of unsorted links beneath that.

Today, two other users reported issues with the back-forward history list dropping down if they hovered the mouse pointer over the back or forward button -- without clicking -- and then moved the pointer downwards. One user was on a touchpad, I don't know about the other user. Are you experiencing anything like that?

The past few days every time I open firefox I get the windows' "do you want this program to make changes to your computer..."

Hello
I would be so grateful to know how to fix t his, because it's really getting on my nerves.
I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I mostly always use firefox. Whenever i opened a new browser, I never got hit with the windows badge and "Do you want this program to make changes to your computer...." or something to that effect. YOu who have windows 7 know what I mean. Of course I click yes, but I NEVER had to do this before. I don't know what changed, what might have happened. I had to have help with some software unrelated to firefox and someone had remote work on my notebook, but he should not have changed browser settings. It is really irritating me to now end to always open the browser now and have to hear that annoying thing and the badge.
My other browsers IE and chrome do not do this.
How can I fix this? It was never the case before for years.
thanks I am grateful in advance. I can't use this browser if this s going to happen it gets on my nerves.

You're welcome.

I downloaded the latest important update to windows vista yesterday, and since then Firefox crashes very soon after enetering the portal of any website I visit, and I want to know if the windows vista update could be doing this?

Yesterday (23rd March) my computer appeared to perform an auto update of windows vista and since then every time time use firefox it crashes shortly after entering a web portal (after about 1-5 seconds). It even crashes on the BBC news page which I always use to check stability. I have been using Firefox for years and it has just started doing this. However, I examined the programme files and actaully cannot see a windows vista update for yesterday, but I can see that there was a Firefox update, so now I'm a bit confused. Looking at the program files in more details it appears that there was a very major update of Firefox taking place including lots of file extensions. You should also know that your password recovery process doesn't work. I never got the email that is supposed to help me recover a lost password. I am really disappointed with Firefox doing this. It's costing me time and money. Can you help before I give up and go back to using Windows explorer (ugh!). I have thought of simply removing Firefox and starting again with a new download but that might not solve the probelm and I will lose my bookmarks.

I have an update to my message posted yesterday regarding Firefox crash after vista update. Today it got worse when Firefox wouldn't open at all and Windows explorer also stopped working. Curiously, email was still working, and when I checked another (little used) account on the same PC, I got a perfect connection with Firefox and Explorer. I had to conclude that the latest updates of Vista have interacted with some application only found in my main account on the PC. I tried opening Firefox in its safe mode and I tried opening explorer without Plug ins, but neither worked. Finally I decided the only answer was to do a system restore and wind back the windows software to where it was before the problem. I now have Firefox and explorer restored to working order, but I still don't understand why, because I got a message saying the system restore hasn't worked. Full Comprehension of the cause is beyond my capability, but through trial and error as described above I seem to have fixed it. The suspect vista updates are KB2505189 , and KB2524375.

In FF 3.6, adjoining the back forward button, there was a dropdown which allowed me to jump to any page in the history list of the tab. This feature is missing in FF4. Is there any setting to enable it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

I cannot figure out how to view the history of pages so I can easily go back to a page I may have been in 10 clicks ago.

In the latest version, I cannot figure out how to view the history of pages so I can easily go back to a page I may have been in 10 clicks ago. I don't want to have to hit the back button 10 times, I want to be able to view a list of the past clicks and pick where I want to go back to. How do I do that now?

Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button, or right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.

If you place your finger inbetween the search bar at the top and the keyboard at the bottom and slide your finder downwards it should hide the keyboard and make the icons at the bottom reappear

How do you clear the recent history list (as this function was lost in one of the last app updates )?

Since this function was apparently lost in one of the last adobe reader app updates, how now are you supposed to clear the recent history, but retain the files on my nexus tablet?

Hello,
That explains why I am no longer able to clear the recent history list...
I understand that removing/deleting the files from my device will remove the files from my list. However this in not ideal for me, as I would like to be able to go back and look at the papers that I have previously read and then be able to clear the recent list. Also, if I can clear the list without removing the files from my device, I can keep track of what I have recently read, and move those files into a second folder on my device to say that I have read the papers at least once. That way I would still have the papers on my device but can clear the list and know that I have read the papers. Thus I really would like a way to clear your history from the recents list, ideally with the option of clearing individual files from the list, as well as a second option to clear all files from the recent list, while retaining the original files on the device.
Thanks and have a good day,
Trevor

What happened to the back/previous history button? (next to the back/forward buttons)

Hi, just upgraded from firefox 3.6 to 4.
The main problem I have with this version which will make me go back to 3.6 if I can't solve it, is that in this version (4) there is no back history to click on next to the navigational back and forward buttons. I'm not talking about the history menu from the menu bar. I'm talking about the pathway I took to get to the page I'm on, which will be different for every tab that I have open. Sometimes if I've just gone through ebay or paypal checkouts or sent/posted questions on forums etc, I will not be able to just repeatedly press 'back' as it may resend twice, or force me to resend data to re-enter that page, even though I didn't want that page, I wanted the page that was 5 steps back prior. You know what I mean? It used to be great to use that on 3.6 to navigate around and jump about back and fore 8 or 9 pages at a time. The history button in the menu bar doesn't help me, it just tells me the last few pages I've been to overall, and not specific to that tab.
Also, how can I customise the navigation bar? I want an icon for the refresh button back like the one in 3.6 (big, prominent, and moveable). Same for the home button, it's now stuck at the far side (I used to customise all these buttons to be as together or as central as I could).

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
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:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
* Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

Whenever I hit BACK the history list stays open below it until I click away from it in the window.
