Hello to all,
I am having trouble with my firefox. The browser opens and you can surf the internet. The problem is that the forward and back buttons dont work. When I open a link in a new tab, the url displays the link of the previous page.
My lecturer said there might be something wrong with the gnome configuration settings. I am completely new to Linux.
Thank you very much.
tony.
Hmmm… strange. What is your openSUSE / Firefox version?
Firefox just got funky on me too. It is very slow, no snappy response to mouse etc. I am on 11.1 and 4.2.2 and update almost daily… but not the Mozilla repo.
My Firefox says, that it is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032600 SUSE/3.0.8-1.1.1 Firefox/3.0.8
I’m updating it from the Mozilla repository, and I have no problems on 11.1.
Yeah, that’s what I have. There is another thread on this… with no answer 
Yes, i had some problems with firefox too, my browser crashes lots of times always have to restore the previous session,i dont know why does it happens so many times ?
My firefox 3 has begun acting up. It seems like it is always running.It has slowed down quite alot. I have begun using ie8 and it is working better. I have no idea what is happening with Mozilla.

clear the cache
delete the history
unenable all the add ons
4.turn off all the training wheels (like Edit > Preferences > Security
and UNcheck “tell me if the site i’m visiting is a suspected attack
site” and tell me if the site i’m visiting is a suspected forgery")
those are only needed by MS users anyway…
how is it now? still slow?
then,
after that, try it for a while with NO add-ons and only add back those
you can’t live without…do NOT add the ones you don’t even know what
they do…
and, you can copy the bookmarks.html and other things over from
…mozillaOLD to the new .mozilla…
understand that EACH thing you add will cause a little more bloat and
bloat equals SLOWER…
have a car? fill it with lead bars and tell me if it goes faster and
faster the more you load it down…
