Firefox automatically updated itself, would not add new bookmarks, then deleted all mine, will not always add new, now the back button does not work. I'm Livid.

I think I'm on Firefox 13.0. He put itself as part of the update of my computer up to date (at least I guess that's what happened, because it has changed). I noticed yesterday that he would not favorite Web sites, but I thought it was just the website or bookmarks have been full-time or something. Today, I tried to remove a few bookmarks to make more, but they would not remove. I tried to register a new site, and it wouldn't work. I tried to close/exit firefox and re-opening of the program. While the program was closed, I installed the next set of updates on my computer. When I have opened firefox, all my favorites, and the tab menu (or what you call personal small bar on the actual tabs) were gone. I can't always favorite of new sites, so I can't even re-do all my favorites (and I got a lot, all of them arranged so it's a big loss and incredibly annoying). Then I realized that the back button does not work. And the cursor remains on the typing that I symbol, it does not change the arrow, when I click on a link.

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

  • When I open a new tab, the back button does not work on the second page, I discover - never the second page, regardless of the site.

    When I opened a new tab - or when I first open a browser - as soon as I go to a second page, I can't go back to the first. Thus, for example, I opened a new tab. I go to a news site. I click on a title. I can not then go back to the first page of the new site. If I go back to the first page manually (by typing the url, or by opening a bookmark) and then click on the same heading, I'll be able to go back.

    The inability to return only ever happens on the second page opens in a new tab or window. At any time, I can go back as normal - but the first page I was on that tab / in this window is erased from history.

    This isn't something that's happened only with FF4, either. I first noticed a couple of weeks, but I upgraded shortly after, assuming it was a bug that would set the new browser. But it's always like that. He still refuses to back the second page of the first.

    This problem may be caused by an extension (McAfee SiteAdvisor) that is not working properly.

  • I need to know if the new FireFox 8.0.1 supports Norton? The last time I tried to update Norton would not work and I had to go back to 3.6 please let me know. Thank you Ron

    I need to know if the new Fire Fox 8.0.1 will support the Norton toolbar? The last time that I've updated for Fire Fox 5, Norton would not work and I had to go back to 3.6. Someone said that they were working on this issue, but I wish you to know before you go. Norton manages all of my passwords. I do not of course want to lose this functionality. Regards Ron

    I use Norton 360 and Add-ons are compatible with Firefox 8.0. Given that v 8.0.1 was not a major update, it shouldn't be a problem. Please note that the new version 8.0 of Firefox disable add-ons, then you will need to return to the page Add-ons and just Activate the Add-ons.

  • "Back" button does not work and lost bookmarks

    I followed the instructions that Firefox has been extremely slow. He said my favorites would be saved and everything should work as usual. However, I lost all my precious Favorites, and now the back button does not work. She is pale grey all the time, and itls drives me crazy, that I can't go back to the search page. I have to type everything in full again.
    If I can't change it, I'll have to switch to another web browser, after being with Firefox for more years than I care to remember.
    I liked using Firefox and have recommended it to all my family and friends.
    I'm very angry on my favorites, because I used these regularly and had a few coordinates links and important model for my sewing and knitting, as well as time-saving links. Now, I'm completely lost without them.
    If this isn't the page said it would be saved, then I would not have changed anything.
    It's very frustrating and annoying, after spending months, where I wanted and now he lost get it all because of the wrong information. I am very anxious.

    You can see if you can restore bookmarks to a JSON or a compressed backup of JSONLZ4 in the bookmarkbackups folder in the "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop.

  • Why not Firefox 4.0 back button does not work since the homepage or google search?

    I've just upgraded to firefox 4.0 tonight, and the back button is not working properly of my homepage or certain types of google searches.

    I can reproduce this problem every time by following these steps:

    (1) open a new tab, and I get a blank page.
    (2) select the Home button. I find myself at http://www.google.com/ig
    (3) go to the address bar type in a new URI, and press return

    Now, I leave my home page and go to the new page, but I can't go back to my home page.

    Similar behavior happens if I do a search on google for the address of quick search in the upper right.

    (1) start a new tab.
    (2) enter a search term and press enter
    3) click on one of the links to research and you transition to the new page, but the back button does not work.

    It works fine if I do something like:
    (1) open a new tab.
    (2) enter google.com in the address bar and press to enter.
    (3) do a GOOGLES search arae.
    4) click a search result link.

    This works very well for me.

    In my case, I turn off the Add McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.3.1 and the problem goes away.

    I've tried clearing cache and cookies and start firefox in safe mode.

    advice?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand you have questions only by using the back button in the Firefox browser.

    But I would like more information on this topic in order to help you.

    (1) the back button worked before with Firefox?

    (2) don't you make changes before this problem?

    According to your description, there is no problem with the material since it works with Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. Previous key does not only work with Firefox. Therefore, I would advice you to check with Firefox and see if that helps, because they have more expertise on products here to help you better.

  • "Back" button does not work with the latest version of any help?

    Hi, I use the latest version. When I go through the pages, I can not be able to return to previous pages. The back button does not work. When I click the back button, the same page, it's not coming back... Any help would be much appreciated!

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    You can click right back or front button to open the history list.

    You can hold down the left button of the mouse either back or next to the history tab list opens.

    The current active entry has a bullet in front of it.



    If you place an entry in the historic session with the mouse tab, so you see an arrow to the left pointing (rear) left or right (forward) to show the direction.

    You can left click on an item to open it in the tab active or middle-click or Ctrl, click on an entry in this list to open that link in a new tab, just as you can with the other links.

  • Why the 'Back' button often fails for the first time after moving to a new page to work?

    During further testing, I can repeat this bug every time: it happens when I clicked on a page background (focus it and allow scrolling arrow key). After having done this, clicking on the back button does not work as expected: don't not visually get "push the button" and the browser does not return to the previous page. Instead, everything on the menu (help, all file) becomes grey as if Firefox just lost focus.

    It almost seems like Firefox 7 has a 'smart' function to prevent accidental 'Back' presses, but if so, it does not work!

    Please let me know if you need more information about this bug.

    See:

    The default value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections has been increased from 30 up to 256 in versions of Firefox 6 +.

    Try to decrease the value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections 256-30 such as used in versions of Firefox 3.

  • "Back" button does not

    Out of the blue, my "back" button (and back on keyboard key) stopped working on some sites (TV Guide, Washington Post), but not others (Yahoo, Wikipedia)... When I hit the button, the tab of the page "flashes", but it is not back to the previous page. If I hold down the back button until it appears a list of the previous pages, I can click on the previous page, and he'll be back...

    I tried to close Firefox and restart without success... Any ideas?

    Hey!

    Disable extensions and allow them one by one got results... The back button didn't work when Curiyo is enabled. When I disabled it, the back button worked... All other extensions worked well...

    Don't know how or why this happened, the back button worked, and then it didn't... I had no close Firefox and reopen to find it does not work, I just changed my websites and it wouldn't work... In any case, it seems at least to have something between Firefox and Curiyo...

    Thanks a lot for the work... I really appreciate the help.

  • My Firefox has just automatically updated itself to the version 42. The extention under modules page does not display the extensions I have installed.

    My Firefox has just automatically updated itself to the version 42. The extention under modules page does not display the extensions I have installed. The plug in page shows the plug ins I installed. How can I fix it? This happened on my 64 bit Windows 7 partition. I installed the extension "classic add-on" to see if she could solve the problem. There is unfortunately no. I have a screenshot. I'm not sure if I have permission to upload it to the media gallery. I also use Linux, but I did not upgrade that are still there.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

    After the upgrade to Firefox 4.0, I returned to Firefox 3.6 because plug-ins, such as Media Player, would not work just with 4.0. They now work with 4.0.1?

    I used WMP plugin with Firefox 4 since its release.

    The problem is probably because she couldn't find the WMP plugin. One way around this problem is to install the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox plugin available from http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin

    This add-on will do 2 things, it will install the WMP plugin in a place that can find Firefox 4, it will also add an extension to add additional functionality for use by Windows Media Player. This extension has been reported as causing memory leaks, so I recommend that once you install the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox plugin, you must restart Firefox then uninstall the extension. The extension uninstaller will not remove the plugin, Firefox 4 will still be able to use it.
