Half of the time, when I press the back button on a page, the forward button disappears as though I had never gone forward on that page. As someone who a) likes to read experimental web fiction and b) likes to use browsers to look at things on the web, this irritates the hell out of me. It would be really useful to be able to click back and forth between two pages in the same tab and compare them! Unfortunately Firefox seems to occasionally arbitrarily decide I don't want this, sometimes deleting many multiple pages forward that I! Was! Looking! At!

And I want to be clear this is not "I clicked back and then clicked on another page and now the page I was looking at is overwritten", this is "I clicked back and the forward arrow greyed out as though the next page I was looking at was no more than an appirition".

Surely I am not the only person who doesn't like when it does this. It provides no utility I can percieve and is massively inconveniencing.

How do I turn this off? I can't find any information on this, all I can find when I search is information about turning off the backspace button. This happens when I click the arrow in the tab bar.

So I decided to delete browsing data for specific sites. But I get an error message that is not visible. All I get is, well, see picture for reference. WinSpy reveals it's nothing more than a TitleBar, no window, no contents, no caption, nothing. And the only option is to click the X to dismiss it and the browsing data is not deleted.

For some reason, I cannot clear single items from the address bar, nor could I find a three-dot button anywhere in the address bar itself, nor even in the search bar.

Must I complain at length about this problem further?

This feature seems to have been removed a while back, and I would very much prefer its return.

HELLO?!?

MODS?!?

ADMINS?!?

AM I GETTING MYSELF THROUGH TO ANYONE OF YOU SOMEHOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?

If I inadvertently closed a tab, I used to be able to go to the "recently closed tabs" menu and find it. Now, when I click on that link, there's nothing there. I can and do use the show all history tab, but that is much much more cumbersome.

A few days ago, I cleared my caches which may or may not be a factor, but I've done a lot of browsing since then.

Firefox 158.0 (aarch64) just installed and my Search History has changed - I seem to have lost "Yesterday" - only "Today" and "Last 7 Days" appear before the month by month display options. Cannot spot anything in the Release Notes about this. Is this an accidental change? I find "Yesterday" very useful.

Thanks. RichardT

Ich verwende die neueste Version von Firefox. Ständig klickt es und jeder Schritt wird auf der Festplatte gespeichert. Das sind schnell über 100 Dateien. Was ich eventuell wirklich speichern will, ist dann schwer zu finden. Kann man dieses ständige speichern von jedem Einzelschritt unterbinden und wenn JA - WIE?

Greetings,

I am having this issue since Firefox 155.0.1 or a bit earlier (but overall rather recently) and I still encounter it with 156.

When a web page has a web form that performs a POST request without changing the URL, the behavior seems to have changed. Let's assume I have done the following:

1. I navigated to an overview page (GET https://example.com/overview). 2. I clicked on a link to a page with a form (GET https://example.com/formpage). 3. I filled out and submitted the form (POST https://example.com/formpage).

Now, when I click the Back button,

• previously, I was returned to the page with the form (GET https://example.com/formpage)
• now, I am returned to the overview page (GET https://example.com/overview)

Can I somehow return to the previous behavior?

Thanks!
