Losing the Back Arrow in Firefox 2.0.0.5

Hi All,

Using WindowsXP Pro And Firefox 2.0.0.5. When at a site, WindowsBBS, the Netscapeand Mozilla forum, for example, and a URL link is included in the discussion that prompts me to click the link and open the site my problem starts. In the past I would close the site and get back to the discussion screen and have the Green Back arrow as part of my tool bar. Now after I have closed the site, I'm taken back to my desktop and have to reload the browser. I can't recall any changes that I made recently that might have caused this condition. Does anyone have a solution to change the condition back to my previous situation?

 

I never saw this before, unless I set History to zero days. There was an exception, with the later Seamonkeys, especially 1.1.2, when if I had more than one tab, the first tab had no back arrow. Is this happening if you use tabs?
I use three of them, and only tab 1 acted up, and only in Seamonkey.
Seamonkey1.1.3 fixed the problem.

 

Westside,

Thank you for the prompt reply. I think I have the answer. In April of this year Ramona provided me with the answer to a similar question. It has to do with Tabs and since I don't use tabs, it took a while to recall. By directing me to Tools|Options|Tabs and putting a check in "a new window" for "New pages should be opened in:" was the needed solution.

 

Thanks for sharing. This is very important, because what is a problem for someone is incomprehensible to others because of different setups.
