Why is the Firefox 4 back button not a circle but a square?

I am on a Windows Vista 32-bit desktop. I have three user accounts. I use my user account, and I see square back buttons. On another user, I see circle back buttons. Why is that?
Also tried it with WinXP, same circle back button.

Right click anywhere on the toolbar (non-text), click on Customize. A new dialogue will be shown, where you can uncheck "Use small icons" to make the back button circular.

Is it possible to set the firefox back button to a custom action in the context of a websocket connexion?

Simply, is it possible to set the firefox back and forward button to custom javascript function to navigate in a websocket application.
Thanks in advance

You may get lucky, especially as Today is a "Sumo Day" with more contributors around than usual. Such a question tends to be slightly off topic, being a hack of a standard Firefox installation.
What I would suggest is that you try other forums, either a specialist linux forum or the popular Mozillazine forums: http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php

Why is the "cancel loading" button not placeable right beside the "reload page" button?

Hi Folks,
I have a quite unusual issue with Nightly build 15.0a1 (x64) on Windows x64.
I can not place the button to cancel loading a webpage right beside the reload page button - everywhere else it is possible to place it, but not at this specific location. If I do so, it becomes visible in the customize wizard but not in normal view. In normal view it is only visible when placed on other locations.

Any particular reason why you are testing the unstable Nightly channel builds (which 15.0a1 just barely started on) ?.
Also note that the Win64 builds are more experimental and not officially supported (no timetable for nay future release to have Win64 yet) so if there is a regression or a server for the daily builds goes down it may take a while fix due to lower priority compared to the officially supported Win32 builds. The Win32 builds should work anyways if not better anyways.

Why do the site identity buttons not look like what you are showing on the information page?

Just read the email about security from Firefox. I do have the identity button show up in a color, but I do not get the passport officer, nor do I get the information in the drop-down window. All I get is "Verified by: ... or "This site does not supply identity information."

On Windows, you can switch between a classic menu bar and a compact menu opened with an orange button with the word Firefox.
You can switch between these using one of these methods:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar and turn Menu Bar on or off
* View menu > Toolbars > Menu Bar
* orange Firefox button > Options triangle > Menu Bar
Does that help?
To get to the tab preferences, you can do this:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
To remove the Ask toolbar, you can go here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
You might still have to do a little cleanup after removing an extension, if it changed your home page, new tab page, search provider, etc. Please describe any remaining problems in more detail.
Hope this helps.

Why is the "Firefox Throttle" addon not available anymore and is there a replacement?

I need to be able to dynamically slow down (throttle) the speed with which my firefox downloads content.
There are thousands of google links to an extension that seems to do exactly what I want:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5917/
However this is now a dead link.
Why?
Is there a replacement?

I have been in contact with the folks there about a time line for a version
that will work with FireFox ver: 4.x and their response is:
That's ok. I'm really swamped with other stuff at the moment. Best bet is end of April-mid May.

Denis

The browser back button is not working correctly when using the search funtion in ProBoards forums. Is there a known issue with ProBoards & FF?

I have submitted a bug report to ProBoards, but they cannot duplicate the problem I am having, so I am submitting this here in hopes you can find a solution.
At ProBoards Support and another PB forum while doing searches I found this problem, which continues with repeated testing over the past week or so:
url: http://support.proboards.com/search
1. enter perameters for the search (posts only by staff for the last 2 days)
2. choose one of those post results & click on it (choose a post on page 14 and not on page 1 of the results)
3. using the browser back button, attempt to return to the previous page of search results
4. rather than being taken back to the search results with my parameters, the search parameters have been removed and the page show 1000 results of posts by everybody.
I have tested this over and over again, disabling plugins, and nothing seems to alter the malfunctioning of the back button when I am doing this search function at ProBoards.
I have tested it in Internet Explorer and find that in IE the browser back button works properly with ProBoards searches. I always get the result I expect, so it's a problem with how FF interfaces with ProBoards, I think.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

Can Firefox provide an option to keep the refresh button next to the forward/back buttons?

When I first installed FF4 the refresh button was buried on the righthand side of the URL window. There were a number of complaints about that location.
Then the button got moved next to the forward/back buttons. This made me quite happy.
Today, I find it's again buried in the previous position.
Can I get it back to where it is more accessible?

# Control-click on a toolbar and select Customize, this will open the customize toolbar window
# With that window on display you can drag and drop the refresh button and place it where you want

Using the Safari Back button to navigate?

Why is it when I'm navigating the Support communities and I use the Safari back button it always goes to the top of the list and not to the list that I have already expanded. It gets pretty annoying to have to keep expanding the topic list to get back to were a left off.

Every "List" you see is sorted by activity - latest first. If you navigate away, then back, you are reloading the page with a new set of activity.
If you wish to use a list as a "Home Base" after using "Load More", COMMAND > Click the link (Title?) to open the thread in a new TAB. when finished, close the TAB and you will see your Home Base as you left it - likely with the thread you chose Underlined

How to change the search provider when using the Firefox Home Button Search feature?

In Firefox itself I have configured duckduckgo as my default search provider.
But when I use the Firefox Home Button Search it is always set to google and I do not see any option to change that?
I like the Firefox Home Button Search (or whatever it's called) otherwise, but it's annoying that it does not use the default from Firefox.
I use the Google Now Launcher.

Put back the drop down bar for the forward/back buttons.

There was a little bar next to the forward/back buttons that allowed you to see where you been and go back or forward a few pages when you need to. I WANT THAT BAR BACK! I am sick and tired of going through this every time firefox updates. ALSO, I've lost my personas (not that it really matters since you got rid of all the space the pictures were in), and I would like them back. I really wish you people would STOP fixing things that aren't broke and giving me so much grief trying to make it look like it and act like it did before.

Cor-el, you rock! Brought back all the personas/themes that I lost. Now I just have to work on widening the area so I can see the pictures. :)

Lost the forward/back button after updating and the home button how do I get back?

Firefox updated to 7 and I lost all of my add ons including the home button and the forward/back button. I was able to get all of my add ons restored except the home button and the forward/back buttons. How do I get them back? Wish now that I had not updated.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If 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.

In IE 8 there is a "recent pages" tab next the forward / back buttons. It helps us jump back & forth the sites. Is there similar feature in FF 6 ?

In IE 8 there is a "recent pages" tab next the forward / back buttons. It helps us jump back & forth the sites directly. Is there a similar feature in FF 6 ?

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
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:
