Why firefox doesn't include recently viewed pages drop down menu with back button?

This feature is quite common and useful instead of searching in history or going back one by one.

Click-hold or right-click the Back button to see the Back / Forward list.

How do I add "Save As" to the Pages drop down menu?

How do I add "Save As" to the Pages drop down menu?

It took me awhile but I found what I was looking for. This is posted at http://www.tuaw.com/2012/07/29/get-save-as-back-on-mountain-lions-file-menu-easi ly-and-without/
Option 1. Terminal.app If you are comfortable using Terminal.app, you can add a different keyboard shortcut this with one simple line. First, quit all your apps except Finder and Terminal. Then paste this command (as one line) into Terminal.app (and press Return):
1
defaults write -globalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add 'Save As...' '@$S'
view rawdwrite-global-saveas.sh hosted with ❤ by GitHub
That's it!
Launch TextEdit and open the 'File' menu and you should see "Save As..." back in its rightful spot with its original Command + Shift + S shortcut, as shown in the image above.
Aside: After you enter the 'defaults write' command, you will not see any confirmation that it was entered correctly. Terminal.app is a little terse sometimes. If you want to verify it from the command-line, enter this:
defaults read -globalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents
and look for "Save As..." = "@$s"; in the output.
Option 2. System Preferences.app If you would rather not use Terminal, it's still very easy to add the keyboard shortcut.
Launch the System Preferences.app, then open the "Keyboard" preference pane.
At the top you will see "Keyboard" and "Keyboard Shortcuts" – click "Keyboard Shortcuts" (labeled '1' below). Then in the list on the left side, click "Application Shortcuts" (labeled '2' below). Then click the "+" button (labeled '3' below):
Once you press that "+" button, a small window will appear asking you to enter the title of the menu item and the keyboard shortcut that you want to use.
Enter "Save As..." in the "Menu Title:" field, and then press the keyboard shortcut that you want to use. In the example below I pressed Command + Shift + S:
Note: It used to be true that you had to enter an actual ellipsis (which you can get by pressing Option+ ; on a US-English keyboard). However, when I tested this in Mac OS X 10.8.2, it worked with three consecutive periods.
Bonus Tip: Hide the "Duplicate" menu item.
In my original article I suggested that you also enter a keyboard shortcut for "Duplicate" and while youcan do that if you wish, you do not need to do that.
However, if you would like to hide the Duplicate menu item, you can do that. There are two steps: first, remap "Save As..." to Command + Shift + S (as shown above). Then the 'trick' is to remap "Duplicate" to Command + Shift + Option + S.
What you will have done is swap the keyboard shortcuts for "Duplicate" and "Save As..." which means that OS X will make "Duplicate" the optional command. If you open the "File" menu and hold down "Option" the "Save As..." command will change to "Duplicate"
(Thanks to TUAW reader 'rbascuas' for pointing this out in response to the original article!)
Important Addendum: "Keep changes in original document"
As we reported in August 2012, the "Save As..." command in early versions of 10.8 had an unexpected and likely unwanted side effect in Mountain Lion: it would save the changes in the new document (created by "Save As...") but would also save the changes to the original document.
However, Apple realized that users might not want that behavior, so in Mac OS X 10.8.2 they added an option "Keep changes in original document" which you can see here:
Option A: If you want to save the changes you've made in the document and then save the document with a different name, then make sure that the box is checked.
Option B: If you want your original document to stay as it was when you last saved it and create a new document based on the modified content of that document, then make sure that box is not checked.
If you do not see the 'Keep changes in original document' box, then the application is probablygoing to give you the "Option B" behavior, but if you are not sure, I would suggest choosing Cancel in the "Save" dialog, then copy and paste the contents of the document into a new file, and save the new file. I know that's several extra-and-less-convenient steps, but if you are worried about preserving the original document, better safe than sorry.
You could also save the file, duplicate it in Finder, and rename the new instance. Open old file and revert to previous save using 'Versions'.
Frankly,I wish that Apple had just left the "Save As..." command alone, but for some reason they didn't ask my opinion. That said, I'm glad that they brought it back in Mountain Lion. I would have paid $20 for that feature alone.
Note: This article was re-written and republished on 2013–02–21. The original process still works, but I wanted to update it to reflect some additional information.

Cisco Call Manager Administration Page Drop down menu not working

I'm running the mobile app browser on my Xoom tablet and when I log into Cisco Call Manager Administration page I get the menu's but it will not pull down the options. The same issue happens in google chrome. I use your browser on my desktop and have no issues logging into Cisco Call Manager Administration page and getting the drop down menu's to appear but the mobile version of your browser is not working. Is there a work around? I tried changing the UAString to Desktop, iPad etc and the issue is still there.

Thanks but I've tried all that. It happens in Chrome also. I've tried Opera and it works on that. I've read other forums and it looks like a Java script issue that Chrome and now Firefox Mobile cannot seem to resolve. My preference is Firefox and I'm sure as more tablets get out then this will be solved at some point. I just don't know how it is prioritized. I do know that in order for Androids to be viable in the business sector they need to address issues like these with a higher priority.

Is there a way to right click - open in new tab on the list of recent pages drop down menu?

I know that I can get the same effect by opening a new copy of the current page in a new tab and then back pedaling to the earlier page, but that is a bit cumbersome.

There is no Contextual menu for the Location bar drop-down, so you need to use {Ctrl + Click} or Middle-click the item to have browsing history items load in a new tab.

How do I go back to my previous version of Firefox? on Version 4 i can no longer get a drop down next to back button with previous visited sites!!

The bar at the top lists back and forward. However, there used to be a drop down arrow next to forward where I could click it and select from a list of pages (sites) that I had just visited in this session, without having to click back, back, back, back, etc. You get the picture??

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 />

Why can't I scroll in the bookmarks drop-down menu? It used to scroll, now it doesn't.

I have a large number of bookmarks, and the ones I use most frequently are at the top and bottom of the list. There use to be a scrollbar on the side. Now it's gone.

You can achieve this without an extension via code in userChrome.css
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

Firefox help drop down menu disabled

I'm running Firefox 26, as far as I can tell. When I try to open the Help drop down menu with my mouse or Alt-H, nothing happens. The Help menu doesn't drop down.
I scanned for Malware, but found nothing.
Happy Holidays!

*If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
*Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

Unable to view drop down menu

Apple support was just able to break the code on my inability to view the drop down menu bar using my mac mini. Here is the fix:
1. This will happen when using TVs instead of a computer monitor.
2. Go to the Systems Preference App, and open it.
3. Open the Display Icon under hardware.
4. Slide the underscan bar (in the direction of "more") to the right
5. Guess what appears at the top? The missing drop down menu.
Quick fix to a real frustrating problem. Thanks to Clint at Apple Support to know how to fix this in very little time.

Hello,
1. Save the Data Model and exit from data model editor to Catalog.
2. Edit again the Data Model and now you should be able to view the parameters.
Because the Parameters were just created, are not loaded instantly so you need to save and edit again your data model.

How to create a new tab it will show the most recent/viewed page?

When I accidentally downloaded Incredibar, when open a new tab it keeps showing "My start by incredibar", and also very slow when loading that page. I want to get back my most recent/viewed page. I did delete the Incredibar but the problem still goes on...

See:

Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the about:addons page.

Firefox doesn't render my web page correctly other browsers do

Hi My website works correctly in IE9, Safari, Opera and Chrome but Firefox doesn't render my Contacts page correctly. The contact form position is wrong and the navigation does not work for the Contacts page. The only issue is with Firefox which fails to render the Contacts page correctly. Both HTML and CSS validate.
The website is http://www.pcwebsite.org.uk

thanks you for the link. I'll try that option next. But clearly since:
Internet Explorer 9,8, even 7
Chrome
Safari
and Opera
render the webpage correctly and there is no issue with validation of both HTML and CSS, then surely Firefox is not working to industry standards.
I can use any browser I care to but I can't control what browser my potential clients use.
"I'm not sure if this is caused by the floating sidebar content as a style rule of clear:both or clear:left partially fixes this at least horizontally (it is still off to the left)."
There is nothing wrong with the code is there as it works perfectly with the other browsers listed above? Maybe I should put the whole web page in a table.

When opening a new tab, how do I get images of recently viewed pages to appear below the toolbars??

This works. I hadn't realized that this feature came from the Google toolbar. Thank you.

Why FireFox Doesn't have Paste and go like other Browsers?

You're welcome.
You can download the beta, but you should remember that it is still a beta version and that there are still bugs that need to be resolved. The beta versions are released as test versions to make it possible to get as many bugs fixed as possible before the final release.
Make sure that you create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile to avoid the beta version from corrupting the Firefox 3.6.x profile.<br />
The Firefox beta version install by default in their own program folder and do not replace the currently installed Firefox 3.6.x release.

Why DaRT doesn't include manager partitions option

We love to use Microsoft DaRT tools, but one thing we are frustrating is Why DaRT doesn't include an option that allow you to manager system partition.
We have successfully embedded DaRT into MDT for imaging deployment. before user want to re-imaging a computer, they'd love to copy the old partitions to save old data. but the DaRT doesn't have this option, and the MDT just imaging a computer with
one partition. It will wipe out the the older partition and older data. We have to use other tools to manage partitions before re-imaging. this doesn't save time.

On the Firefox drop down menu for Firefox 4, the tab for cut, copy and paste is not highlighted. Is there another way for me to include this on the Firefox start page?

I have Firefox 4. In the Firefox drop down menu, there is an option to cut, copy and paste but it is not highlighted. Please tell me how to highlight this link. Or is there a way to have a cut copy and paste tab?

Those links in the Edit menu are only highlighted if there is something to do:<br />
Paste should be enabled if the clipboard has data placed on it by a previous Copy or Cut and you have set focus on a text area or field that allows to paste that data.
Copy works if some text is selected.
