• 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.

• I want to configure firefox in kiosk mode, but I need to have the Back button (and before) and the available home button.

  The computer will be used only to access online catalog in my library. I need to remove the location toolbar, but keep the "back" button and the "home" button. If I use the Kiosk mode, I do not have the "previous" button. I can set it up so that I have the buttons but not the URL, but a user could right-click on the menu bar and reactivate the address bar. I need to stop them from doing it.
  Thank you!

  Users can always bring up an address bar with the shortcut Ctrl + L if this bar is hidden.

  One possibility is to hide the toolbar elements and elements of (context) menu with code in userChrome.css below default @namespace.

• 29 Firefox "back" button will not return to the previous form

  Previous screen is a form of research and the results returned. Clicking on one 'other info' button moves to the next screen and print more information. The 'back' button will return to the previous screen, which gives the message "document is no longer available.

  Firefox is standard installation of vanilla. All the other major browsers properly return to the previous screen. If this cannot be fixed, we will be forced to give up FIrefox and recommend our customers to 46 000 to switch to a different browser, especially when you use our Web site.

  To reproduce this problem, go to www.mybfl.com/search.php, get a book, when displayed, click on the "More info" button By clicking on the "back" button on Firefox illustrates the problem.

  Yes, Firefox 32 is at the beginning of this behavior.

  I just went and checked tools-> Options-> auto-Cache Management override and for now at least, the problem disappeared.

  Thanks, hope that this action has resolved the problem.

• How can I move the button reload of the page in firefox OSX for next to the back button where it was before I updated.

  How can I move the button reload of the page in firefox OSX for next to the back button where it was before I updated.
  I know there is an addon for windows Classic theme, but I need a fix for osx... its very frustrating when you update and things like this change and can be customized to the way we are used to using the browser. his counter intuitive to have the page button refresh so far from the back and home buttons.

  never mind, I found the preferences in the addon manager... Thanks again!

• How to make Firefox exit reloading web pages of several times (while I read a page), so that the back button to return to the previous page

  The back button did not work correctly for perhaps a month. I have finally addressed the problem but have no solution. Updated for Firefox 43.0, turned off all my Add-ons back to header by default, then also ran the refreshment of deleted my Add-ons. This problem occurs on many web sites. I'll click on Rawstory.com (for example), and then click an article and start viewing. While the page does not appear to charge that I read, I noticed that the small icon in the tab of Rawstory winks (as if reloading the page). This happens over and over again. Now I know to pull down the window under the left arrow to see what happened. The last page I read ended show 9 times under the arrow to the left, even if all I did was click top once and read the article. I wondered if my click on the scroll bar to read to the bottom of the article is somehow cause this problem (same for the use of my fingers on the touchpad). Thanks for your help.

  
  

• Downloaded Firefox 38.0.1 and now edit/search does not work.

  The Question above about nearly everything.

  I downloaded Firefox 38.0.1 (I'll never learn) and now edit/search does not work. The search at the bottom of my screen bar disappeared and clicking on EDIT and SEARCH does nothing. Also, Ctl - F does nothing.

  FYI, using Windows 8.1.

  Someone actually check the compatibility with desktop computers and laptops on the news, or is it more important to be compatible with smart phones?

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

• V.17 Firefox WXP and W7 turns off the "back" button, Reload button, Home button and bookmarks toolbar items - how do I get them back or return to V.16?

  All the buttons worked fine until I updated Firefox to v.16 to v.17. Now, I can't get any of the buttons mentioned above in the toolbar to work more. Links inside an HTML page still work, but not the buttons above.

  This BUG v.17 appeared on my platform PC WXP and W7, only after I updated Firefox to v.17. No other changes have been made that would cause this BUG on each PC.

  If I can't fix this, then how can I rollback to v.16?
  

  Hi James:

  Thanks for your reply. You confirm what I said in my last post, that the problem was incompatibility with FF TUL v.17. I just disabled and will wait for an update of compatibility by the developer, if you eventually come.

  I still believe that there is too much FF updates - almost one a week, it would seem. They should be coordinated so that they go out less often when possible. In addition, all updates should include a functionality, like any decent software update.

  Thank you once again you have your answer.

• When click the "back" button after filling out web form, I can't, a message says that Firefox must send information that will be rpeat any action... Why can I go back?

  My current Firefox is version 9.0.1 update
  "when I click on the"back"button after filling web form or make payment online etc, I can't go back to my homepage, if I press the BACK BUTTON (arrow) a message said.
  "Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (for example, a search or order confirmation) that was carried out earlier.

  I don't want to re - order or repeat the process over. The only thing I can do is to leave Firefox and start again which is very painful.

  Any solution will be appreciated.

  Older Firefox had this coming message in case you have used the back to go to a page that is requested from the server with the POST data specific to a form previously sent.

  You receive an alert to send POST data if you return to a page or refresh a page that was requested in advance from the server by submitting form via a (hidden) MESSAGE form data.
  
  Firefox can only make sure to get the same page send this POST form.
  
  Firefox doesn't know what it means shape data, so Firefox asks for confirmation before sending the form data so action can you take to repeat an action and buy another article or post a message once.
  
  A way to prevent that pop up is not to use the back button, but to open the links on a page that have been requested from a server by sending a MESSAGE form in a new tab (window) with a middle click or a Ctrl + left click.
  
  Then you can close the tab or window to go back.

• Google web toolkit plugin for firefox (1.23) disables the back button of the browser. How do fix us this?

  I have Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for firefox (1.23). It worked for me, but I recently discovered that in my browser back button has been disabled. By trial and error, I discovered that it's the GWT developer Plugin that is the culprit. When I disable the plugin, the previous button starts working again. When I re - activate the plugin, the back button stops working. Has anyone else encountered this problem? My firefox is version 19.0. Anyone know what would cause the plugin to start to disable the back button?

  Have you tried to use Firefox 23? This is the version you should be running.

• Can't let site when I click the back button, it keeps just returning on the site, have to close firefox and try again.

  Can't let a Web site when I click the back button, it keeps just returning on the site, have to close Firefox and restart my search.
  The website below is just an example, it is a little more.
  Is this a problem with Firefox or this particular Web site?
  Thank you for your help.

  I thank very you much for trying to help me.
  I think you pointed me in the right direction, I tried on IE (ugh!) and he worked there. It's been awhile that this HARD drive has been in service and I think it's time to do a clean reinstall of everything.
  Once again, thank you.

• In versions of firefox previeous, next to the back button was a drop down arrow which brought back several pages. Where at - it go?

  In older versions of firefox, there is a button which brought up a selection from the drop-down list of the last 10 or so pages, but I cannot figure how to get it in the new version. It is a problem because my school website uses many pages of transition ID-checking between the links, then when I try to hit the back button, it sends me to the verification page and then return to the page, I was on and there is no way to go back without opening my story something that can be a problem if I look at things in multiple tabs. Is there something I can do?

  You can get the menu drop-down by clicking on the previous/next buttons or now the left key pressed until the list is displayed.

  If you want the drop-down arrow, you can add it with the add-on of dropmarker rear - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

• Why the back button isn't a drop-down list to go back multiple levels in Firefox 4? Y at - it an option to reactivate the which?

  Before that I've upgraded to Firefox 4, the back button (as it is in all other browsers under the Sun,) had a drop-down list so you could spend a layer of back up and fall back on several levels. This is particularly important when there is a site you redirecting and you cannot go back only to back single click. However, FF4 is not-at least not by default - and I do not see anywhere in the options to add. Is he hiding somewhere I didn't, or that has been deleted?

  You need to click on and hold the back button or do a right click to access the menu drop down.

  Original title: left click not working not not on HP laptop

  On my HP Elitebook 2760p running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, left click on the touchpad button has stopped working.  The right click works, the works of pad, (scrolling and click on) it's just the left click.  It started after the execution of the new update of adobe. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver synaptec. I tried the mouse fast and slow speed. I tried pressing rigid, flexible, in different places.
