Where is the "Back" button on 4s?

Well, I have about 1 week left on my new iPhone 4s for testing having just come off two years using the Samsung Galaxy S. On any Droid phone there is such a thing as the Back button which makes life infinitely easier just getting out of apps and stuck pages.
How do you users manage without such a button on the iPhone? There are many times that when reading a article from a website like "WSJ" you are stuck with no obvious way to get back to the begining to the main page. If someone sends you an email with a link to a youtune video you cannot go back to the email from where you started; you must hit the Home button and start again.
Unless I am missing something, I do not know how to get around without a "Back" button!
Any help is defintely appreciated and will help me decide positively on the iPhone.
TIA, Sol

I agree, managing without a back button makes no sense. Is there a back button? Double tapping the home button twice doesn't work when review music and starting over is not resonable.

Where is the back button on iphone 5?

Hi, new to iphones.
When I open an app like email, text message, often I find there is no way to go back one screen other than hitting the home button to end the app.
Am I missing something here?
Is there a back button like Safari has but for the phone operating system?
Thanks

For Mail and Messages it's in the top left corner and it is usually labeled with the page your going to go back to. There is no back button like Safari in those apps.
Hope that helps.

Where did the "back-button listbox" go?

It used to be (firefox 3.xx) that I could click a little arrow and choose to go back in my recent browsing history as many pages as I had viewed on the current tab. Now (firefox 4) I have to click back one at a time. How do I get the little listbox to come back up?

I solved the problem. Now it is a right-click which triggers the appropriate response.
Thanks.

Before the recent updates to Firefox, clicking on the back button always brought me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page. How do I restore the previous feature?

Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?

That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
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.

First time going to a site where I do not have access and clicking the back button I'm returned to the root site instead of the site I started from

Greetings,
I have SharePoint 2013 enterprise using ADFS for authentication. I have an issue where the first time going to a site where you do not have access and clicking the back button you're returned to the root site instead of the site you
started from.
ie:
1) at site http://www.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/home.aspx
2) browse to
http://www.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/private/home.aspx
3) receive a message: you do not have access to this site ((oops went to the wrong location - I'll hit the back button))
4) click the browser back button
5) get returned to http://www.sharepoint.com/pages/home.aspx
This only happens the first time browsing to a site that I do not have rights to, after this I can browse to the same site and hit the browser back button and return to the correct site, or any other site that I do not have access to.
Any ideas as to why this happens? Ideas of where to start looking?
Thanks

Hi Robert,
From your description, when you receive access denied message and hit back button in browser, it redirects you to the root site but not previous site. However, this just happens at the first time.
You may try to use some tool or check log which can tell us how does it handle the request when you hit the button. And compare the issue time and non-issue time.
I'd suggest you use Netmon tool:

How do i move the reload page button in firefox OSX to beside the back button where it was before i updated.

how do i move the reload page button in firefox OSX to beside the back button where it was before i updated.
i know there is a classic theme addon for windows but i need a fix for osx...its very frustrating when you update and things like this change and cant be customized back to the way we are used to using the browser. its counter intuitive to have the refresh page button so far away from the back and home buttons.

Is Classic Theme Restorer only for Windows? I thought it worked on Mac, too. Some of the pre-selected interface items like the Application Button may match old Windows versions and you may need to deselect those in its Settings dialog.
To access that dialog, you can use the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions, the on the right side, look for the Options button below Classic Theme Restorer.

Unable to go back to where I ieft off after clicking the back button

When I browse photos in Smugmug, after selecting the gallery I want, when I am finished and I click the back button it takes me back to the beginning of the galleries and not where I selected the last gallery or photo. IE and chrome don't do this.

Let me see if I can make this more clear. In Smugmug I browse galleries and scroll down a page until I see a gallery I want to look at. I may have scrolled down past several hundred galleries before I select a gallery to look at, so I am quite a ways down. Anyway I select the gallery and it opens and I browse all the photos. When I am finished I go to the top and click the back button. If I am using IE it takes me back to the point where I selected the gallery I looked at. However, in firefox if I click the back button it takes me back to the beginning of the gallery and I have to scroll thru all the galleries again and find where I left off.

Instead of hitting the "back" button on the toolbar, where is the drop down to go back 2-3 pages?

I used to be able to go back a few pages at a time until the latest upgrade. Now, if I click the "back" button on the toolbar I can only go back 1 page at a time. This doesn't always work and I have to go back to my original starting point which could be 10-15 click back ... is there anyway to get the option to go back multiple pages like before or can I just not use certain web pages anymore?
thank you!

Use this 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:

All of a sudden it seems firefox has forgotten where it is all the time. All my bookmarks and rss feeds are gone and a lot of times it forgets my saved usernames and passwords. The back button has ceased functioning as well.

It just started out of the blue, its like it just forgot everything I've done since I downloaded it years ago. Plus the back button doesn't work anymore. It's like it has constant amnesia.

Sounds that some SQLite database files are corrupted.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically. 
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server. 
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

The back button is there but never works. It didn't open in a new tab or window but the back button isn't functioning. I just downloaded Firefox 5.

Actually, all my details are in that looong question I asked. ; )
I am ready to go back to 3.6 or whatever version I had because 4 and 5 have had these issues. I tried 4 before but now that I have 5 and the same issue, I remember that I saw this before.
As I was typing this note, I looked up and saw the back button is actually working on this site. Weird.
Also, there isn't a button next to the back and forward so I can see my history. Where is that, now? Sometimes, I want to go back 3 or 4 pages at once without loading each page the slow way. Awww, what am I saying? You all know what I mean. :\
I am using Windows 7 and have been using Firefox for years, so I am familiar with it and it is my only browser of choice so I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Is there a way to control the "back button"?

i've got a simple animation intro, ending with the very last
key frame being static with links. then the links will bring up
another page in the same window. but i was wondering if there was a
way in flash to control the back button to bring the user to that
very last key-frame, at the end of all the animation. thereby
skipping over the intro-animation.
also:
i have an html intro page, where you can go to the flash
introduction, or the peoples' old website, or to a Flash-Player
download window. i was wondering if there was a way to create a
link to that end key-frame in order to by-pass the animated flash
intro.
thanks for your help

gotoAndPlay(32) if you have a continuos animation after that
frame and you want to continue it; the number within the brackets
is the number of the frame you want to go to. Or else if you want
to go to a particular frame and stop there, gotoAndStop(32);

I hate the update of the bar. It has totally done away with being able to skip back several places in the browser; now I can only click the back button and go back one page at a time. I otherwise hate the new layout, too. How do I undo this?

I can't choose a specific page to skip back to but must click the back button over and over to get back to where I want to skip to. The little headings "most visited," "getting started," "Youtube," etc. have changed. They look more colorful, but I hate how the home button is clear over to the right side of the page, etc. What was wrong with the way everything was before? I HATE this new update, and I didn't even want it.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

Branching and Using the 'Back' button

I have created a branching program that is essentially a
"choose-your-own-adventure." There is no quiz, b/c there is no
right or wrong.
However, when you begin you have three choices. The user
selects one of those choices and goes to Slide A, Slide B or Slide
C depending on their choice. There, they have more choices to make.
From Slide A, their choices would take them to Slide D, Slide E or
Slide F. If they originally chose Slide B, the next set of choices
would also be Slide D, as well as Slide G or Slide H.
(And so on and so forth)
It has been recommended to me that I create a way for users
to simply hit the playbar's "back" button if a user is on Slide D,
and wants to go back to Slide A. However, under my current set-up,
I have two problems: The first: if they simply hit the back button
on the slidebar from Slide D, they will go to Slide C--a
acompletely wrong choice. Secondly, if I put a "Jump to" button on
the page, I actually have to put 2 on (one that will bring them to
Slide A and another that will bring them to Slide B) since you can
get to Slide D from both A and B.
This is a simplified version of my branching, and creating a
button for each page that a slide could go back to isn't feasible
and would probably be more confusing to the user than anything.
Please tell me if this doesn't make sense, or if there is a
way that I can do this.
To see the project and see what I'm talking about, you can go
Here,
and then choose the "Is My TV Ready?" option.
Thank you,

Hi Rob
Had a look at your program and think it is a great use of
Captivate.
Regarding the "back" functionality, I would recommend to
custom build a button on each slide where you wish to go back. The
reason is that the back button on the play bar will always go back
1 slide in the actual slide sequence and does not take branching
into account i.e. it is a pure linear back 1 button. To make life
easier, I would suggest giving each of your important slides a
unique label, which would then make it a lot easier to:
Specify where the individual "back" buttons would jump to
View the actual branching in teh Branching view of Captivate.
Good luck mate

PPR and the Back Button

Hi all,
I posted recently about a workaround Oracle showed me for helping manage back button problems more efficiently, but now I'm having a separate back button problem.
Changes that were made to a page via PPR disappear after coming back to the page by clicking the browser back button--for example, if I added a row to an <af:table> using PPR, navigate off the page, and click the back button, the row will disappear again--although it will reappear as soon as any event re-refreshes the table. I've tried turning off browser chaching, and it makes no difference, which makes me suspect this is not a browser caching issue.
Does anyone know if there's a way to make sure a component is always refreshed when the page is loaded, even if it was loaded via the browser back button?
Thanks much,
Avrom

Hi Frank,
Great idea, thanks! I haven't tried it out in all my cases, but it looks like it's going to work!
For the use of others, here's what you do:
1) Make sure your model layer is capable of supporting the back button here, of course.
2) Create a method, String refresh(), in a backing bean. This method can be a no-op (just return null) if you don't need to do any work to re-set the page. But if, for example, you calculated values referred to in the page, you should re-calculate them here. If you had code that calculated them when the page was originally loaded (*not* for PPR), you can take that out, because this will always get called on a new load/back button load/reload.
3) Add a CommandLink like this one to your page (needs to be in a form, but otherwise it doesn't really matter where):
<af:commandLink id="refresh" partialSubmit="true"
action="#{yourBean.refresh}"/>4) Add a call to a javascript function like the following in your <afh:body>'s "onload" tag:
function refreshPage() {
 var refreshComp;
 if (document.getElementById)
 refreshComp = document.getElementById("refresh");
 else if (document.all)
 refreshComp = document.all["refresh"];
 else if (document.layers)
 refreshComp = document.layers["refresh"];
 if (refreshComp) {
 refreshComp.click();
}(All of that rigmarole is to support different browsers, which have different ways of retrieving a DOM element by its id.)
5) For each component you need refreshed on a back button, set (or add) "refresh" to its partialTriggers property.
6) Sit back and watch the Back button work.

Where is the "Back" button on 4s?
