visit?</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/389559622016-01-19T17:37:57Z2016-01-19T17:42:01ZBrowser's Back button loses history<div><p>It's happening right now on Dropbox. I can only go back one page

there.</p>

None of the test systems here do that. Have you looked at a profile
reset as a next step? (See "How to reset your profile" at the
bottom right.)</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/389559622016-01-19T17:52:35Z2016-01-19T17:52:35ZBrowser's Back button loses history<div><p>I'll try a profile reset. Thanks.</p>

<p>My only-back-one-page was caused by installing Atlemose's
compilation of eyoungren's TenFourFox tweaks. I've gotten an
explanation of how to fix it, so all is good now.</p>
<p>Still having problems with TFF crashing when I try to fill in a
form. Latest was clicking on the Subject line in a Cisco Registered
Envelope Service email. The good news is that it never seems to
happen twice in a row, so once TFF is reopened I've been able to
complete the form in question.</p>
<p>Best,</p>

"Comments" for a review of that product, then click on "Comment",
TenFourFox crashes.</p>
<p>For example:<br>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CHHU3Q0/">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CHHU3Q0/</a></p>
<p>Scroll down to "Customer Reviews".<br>
First review says "2 Comments". I click on that.<br>
Page opens with "Add a Comment" at top.<br>
When I click on "Add a Comment" TFF crashes.</p>
<p>If I go back to the same page after I reopen TFF, and repeat,
TFF does not crash.</p>
<p>Then I go back to the product page and click on the first
alternative lantern:<br>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S70O3U8?psc=1">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S70O3U8?psc=1</a><br>
I scroll down to the first review, and click "Comment"<br>
No crash.</p>
<p>So I go to a Cisco Registered Envelope that I have in History.
No crash.</p>
<p>Then when I go back to the second Amazon product page from
History and click on "Comment" TFF crashes.</p>
<p>Not quite replicable each time, but not far from it.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Minor item, but it may confuse some folk: The link on the
support page says "How to reset your profile", and the instructions
page is titled that, and says<br>
"Go to Help, Troubleshooting Information. A new page will open.
Click on the Reset TenFourFox button."</p>
<p>But the button says:<br>
Give TenFourFox a tune up<br>
Refresh TenFourFox . . . "</p>
<p>"Refresh" instead of "Reset."</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

problem with TenFourFox crashing when I click on a "Comment" box on
Amazon. Crashed again as soon as I tried it. The only change I'd
made after the reset was to set the home page and search choice to
DuckDuckGo. No other changes made to the stock setup.</p>
<p>As this seems to happen with text entry boxes on a number of web
sites, I assume it has something to do with how TFF interprets a
text entry box.</p>
<p>As I mentioned, the problem pre-dated installing the tweaks.</p>

problem. Without a reliable test case I can't do much further
analysis. How much memory is in your computer?</p>
<p>The only other suggestion I have is another user reported
something similar with a different site a few months ago that we
couldn't replicate either (another crash bug was identified during
its investigation that we <em>could</em> replicate, but it wasn't
the problem he was having). Perhaps you could see if there is
something about your systems that you have in common.</p>

running OS 10.4.11. I also have an OWC SSD installed. I try to keep
a minimum of programs open at one time, and regularly monitor
memory with Activity Monitor. However, with just a small complement
of programs open, I still run close to being out of memory, which
is why I restart TFF regularly. For example, just opened TFF is
taking 220 MB.</p>
<p>I'll take a look at the thread you suggested.</p>

<p>I'd read the thread you linked to previously when I was
researching this. It sounds like the same issue I am having. I've
posted my system's specs on that thread.</p>

<p>Believe it or not, that's about right. Just
<code>mmap()</code>ing XUL, the major superlibrary that contains
most of Firefox/TenFourFox, is good for 70MB or so, and that's
before you've loaded any of the browser chrome, let alone pages. My
1GHz iMac G4 has exactly the same amount of memory your PowerBook
has and I don't routinely need to restart the browser, but YMMV, of
course. In Activity Monitor it's showing about 300MB of physical
memory and about 1.5GB of virtual memory.</p>
<p>So I don't think low memory is the problem here, since this iMac
G4 has a weaker configuration than yours.</p></div>Cameron Kaiser
