Since a few days I'm using Vista and Firefox 3.0.1 and I got a problem with saving information. For example, when I use the Price Search here on ADT for performer Kelly for example I get the results. But when I hit page-back the name Kelly is removed from the search box. When I used Firefox 2 this info was always saved and I want that back because I'm facing the same problems on other sites. So how can I make sure my info is saved on the previous page when I hit the page-back?
I don't use FF3, but in FF2 I believe this was controlled by a checkbox in: Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> "Remember what I enter in forms and search bar" Look if there is the same thing in FireFox 3 options.
Actually that option only remembers my search words, it doesn't save them when using the option page-back. Like on Youtube I put in a search word and I get the vids on a next page but when I do page-back I want to see the search word back in the box again, I don't want to see a blank box.
Are you saying that you see the search term on YouTube when you use the back button from a search results but not here? Also, are you clicking the back button with your mouse or using the backspace key to go back?
Ramsey, I understand what you want to happen. This is exactly what happens in FF2, the keyword stays in the box when I hit back. I thought that setting was responsible for it. Hmm.. Do you have caching enabled?
No, my search term is also gone on youtube when I go page back just like here on ADT. The strange thing is my search term is being remembered on IAFD like when I hit page back I see the name I just typed so I wonder why on 1 site it does work and on the other it doesn't.It doesn't matter which one I use, the result is the same. I tried them both.
Type about:config in the address bar and hit Enter Find this setting: browser.cache.disk.enable Is it set to true? Then find this one: browser.cache.check_doc_frequency Is it set to 3?
Yes on both count. Btw, I have written a text in this box and when I hit Google over this page and hit the page-back I can still see my text that I had written so it remember that perfectly but when I use a search term in the Advanced box and hit Google over the page and then go page-back my search term is gone. So why does it remember what I have written in this box but not in the other box, you would think it's the same way.
I guess that's not it then. Well, it can be a bug. Unfortunately, I don't have FF3 to play with the settings, but if this is important to you, you may want to ask about this issue at mozilla forums. http://forums.mozillazine.org/ Edited by - Zoid on 8/31/2008 11:34:23 AM
Actually it's not a FF3 problem because I downgraded to Firefox 2.0.0.16 and I'm still having the problem so I wonder if it's a Firefox AND a Vista problem :-(
I believe that IAFD is using a cookie to remember your last search term as when I return to IAFD is still remembers my last search term, which may explain why you are seeing it on that site and not others.
A lot of experts tried to help me but with no luck :-( I guess I will have to keep on using IE when using certain sites where I have to use a lot of page-back and page-forward.

If you haven't tried MajorGeeks Support Forums, then IMHO you haven't tried the best experts on the Internet. I'd rather try Opera (browser) than use I.E.

Good luck. Don't give up. Most of those guys are very busy and I've had to wait a couple of days sometimes for a reply to a post. They have pulled me out of the crapper more than once. Last year, when I experienced a power interuption twice within five minutes and the second came as Windoze XP was trying to recover from the first one, I lost Windoze completely. No boot-up, no Safe Mode, no nothing! Blank screen city. After five days and two posts (using my other PC), they figured out what I should do and using the Command Line input and about 25 minutes of staring at a reply message that was telling me the percentage of completion, my Windoze XP popped up on the screen with all my icons, etc. Completley recovered!
