The Back arrow/button in the address bar is unclickable, greyed out and no longer functional.

Is there a specific fix we can make in about:config to regain function of the back arrow/button? A response from a person (or people) would be appreciated.

Your really do not want as much detail from me as possible. I guarantee that. ("Everything is connected" should be enough of an explanation.) But you ask for details . . . .

This is specifically about updates (not also installation). Which update and and when I do not know, although it could be Microsoft fooling around with Firefox functionality. OR it could be ESR being updated when updates have been disabled. So that raises the question about the extent to which Microsoft is also configuring Firefox when FF is the default browser. (We deserve to know.) I have changed back to normal updates, and will try to disable the incessant frequent updates which always include undoing new standardized FF configurations that were labor intensive to find fixes for the first time. Fortunately, I have kept a file of many of them. Apparently A.I. (oops, maybe it was Firefox) has agreed to give access to Microsoft to interfere with how Firefox is configured when Firefox is the default browser, regardless of the FF version,

Specific details (I will try to make this as repetitive, overly simplified, and superfluous as the auto a.i. responses though I most likely will fail): And if expressing dissatisfaction is violating the rules and guidelines, then please understand I am human, and do not like everything I do online being the result of 1/0 on/off/humanizing A.I. (including genetically . . . oh yeah, we all know where this free "training" of a.i. is going that we are all being used to do without our consent - and worse).

The back arrow/button on the address bar is no longer clickable and it is greyed out. It is apparently another new Firefox standardization that is not one size fits all. The easy solution would have been for the people who do not like the feature to be advised to remove the button/arrow from the address bar. But, no. Instead, at some point, a new update standardized the arrow/button to become unclickable and dysfunctional.

I found a question about how to make the back arrow/button functional again. The question was not why has it been made dysfunctional. The answer was why it had been made dysfunctional.

In short, some people found the arrow/button to be problematic. A.I. said people were losing information they had input to a form, when they used the back arrow/button before completing the form.

So what did FF (or A.I.?) do? Made the arrow/button dysfunctional for everyone because a few folks in lala land did use common sense, and simply remove the button from the address bar so they would not be tempted to use it and lose information.

Why was that a solution instead of Support (A.I.?) telling people who found the arrow/button to be problematic, to remove the arrow/button from the address bar? Really? Why not advise people to make the feature dysfunctional for themselves - instead of the solution being to make it dysfunctional for everyone who uses Firefox Browser.

Here is the basic, simple, question and content I would have preferred, and I'm guessing many actual people would have too.:

Again:

Thanks in advance.

how to get rid of search bar at bottom of screen. Sometimes when I click on a field and my cursor misses, and I start to type, it opens up a search bar at the bottom of the screen. I would like for that to go away. Win 11

Hi,

just downloaded the latest Policy Templates in Version 7.7 and installed them in our Central Policy Store. I went through all the settings but cannot find a configuration allowing us to block downloads of eg. executable files .

Even safebrowsing is not included to configure.

Any ideas?

Hopefully this may reach Mozilla Connect maintainers/developers. After posting a topic or a comment in Mozilla Connect, I struggled to find it. Somehow I found out there is a page "My Unmoderated Items", which is not referenced from my account, from main menu or anywhere reachable. Once you know the link or leave it open, it looks fine, but finding the page again is a real struggle.

Would you please add "https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/premod/moderationitemspage/tab/unmoderated:idea" to all relevant menus so that the user can find it easily?

I'm experiencing an unusual issue in Firefox: a CSS grid overlay is visible on various websites, while everything displays normally in other browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.). This grid is not part of the actual website design and does not appear when using other browsers.

I haven’t activated any developer tools or extensions intentionally that would cause this behavior. Could you please help me identify what might be causing this and how to disable it?
