Strange Problem: Back button not working!

LinuzRulz · 08-13-2002, 06:54 PM

Fired up my 'puter when I got home and "bam" all of a sudden mozilla and netscape would not let me use the back button. Anyone ever seen this ? What caused it? Galeon is fine.

Was running Moz 1.1 and Netscape 6.2.3

hey LinuzRulz,
once a long time ago - i saved my mail, bookmarks and the preferrnces.js file and the removed my ~/.mozilla directory and it worked again, this is a vary long time ago though - aound mozilla 0.6...

hi,
now i use opera in linux and i had this problem ..
there is a history setting in preferences section which when enabled disables back button in browsers.
Something like this might exist for mozilla .....

otherwise pack the .mozilla folder and restart it ..

I have had a similar problem in emacs. it thinks that backspace is ^h. Somebody told me to use "tset -e", but i still haven't figured it out. or look here:
