Your viewing of this thread needs some practice.

Give me some reasons why the forward button is useless.

I may not use the forward button much, but it's pretty helpful when I do need it.

I do not use it anywhere close to the number of times asvthe back button but I do use UT. It is a lot faster to open a page from the catch than it is to redownload it.

Forward and back are especially nice with gestures and the "rolling back" (or back) animation.

Yes, OP, people use the forward button (and gesture).

If you don't like it, you do know you can remove it, right?

Right-click the area next to the button, select Customize Toolbar, drag button off, save... enjoy.

I don't think you can separate the back and forward buttons.

 

[noodlemanc]

Never use it. I just swipe left and right.

It seems that the only time one uses the forward button is when one ****s up by going back a page when they dont mean 2.

fixed that for you

I use it quite a bit when I am jumping inbewteen 2 pages. I want to go back one page or 2 to re read something or check something then go right back where I was.

i use both the forward and back functions regularly. they're pretty essential to the web browsing experience if you ask me.

I like that the new version of Firefox hides the Forward button at times when in other browsers it would be greyed out.

I might be thinking of another browser. <.<

Oh come on, nobody right-clicks.

Oh come on, nobody right-clicks.

Macs have had right-click for ages now. What would you prefer I say? Two finger trackpad click? Control click? Pseudo monkey turtle half stance ninja click?

Oh come on, nobody pseudo monkey turtle half stance ninja clicks.

I use the forward button to visit pages I haven't even been to yet.

Me too. If there's nothing there, don't look for it.
