So I have a website where I can select links and click a button to open them all at the same time. When I do that Firefox takes me to one of the newly opened links automatically.
I wanted to stop this behavior, so I looked and looked, and eventually found this option:
browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground
Now, when I set this to true, newly opened tabs never automatically take me to them. So if I click an ad on a site that normally opens in a new tab and takes me to it, now it doesn't happen. I also tried this code:
<p><a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://google.com');
window.open('http://yahoo.com');">Click to open Google and Yahoo</a></p>
This code opens 2 links at the same time. I was thinking maybe opening multiple links at the same time somehow overrides Firefox. But no, the links opened and I was not automatically taken to any of the new tabs.
Also must be said that I'm having this problem in Firefox 75 and 74. But when I try it in Firefox 55.0.2, I don't have the problem. In Firefox 55.0.2 the "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground" actually works even on the website where I have the problem (I can't share the site because it's behind login).
This appears to be the code responsible to open multiple links on the website I have an issue with:
$(document).on('click', '.statbtn', function () {
var me = $(this);
var isAnyRowSelected = false;
$('.row-checkbox').each(function () {
var t = $(this);
if (t.is(':checked')) {
isAnyRowSelected = true;
$('select[name="status[' + t.val() + ']"]').val(me.attr('id'));
}
});
if(isAnyRowSelected == false){
bootbox.alert("No Orders Selected");
}
});
$(document).on('click', '.openlink', function () {
var me = $(this);
var isAnyRowSelected = false;
$($('.row-checkbox').get()).each(function () {
var t = $(this);
if (t.is(':checked')) {
isAnyRowSelected = true;
console.log();
var win = window.open(t.data('link'), '_blank');
if (win) {
win.focus();
} else {
bootbox.alert('Please allow popups for this website');
}
}
});
So I tried everything I could think of. Many changes to the about:config, restarting my browser, unticking the "When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" option in Firefox. But nothing works. When I open links from this one site using this specific button, I always get automatically taken to one of the newly opened tabs.
Here is a similar-ish problem - https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bnu6qq/opening_new_tab_problem/
Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it? I mean, a website shouldn't be able or allowed to override Firefoxe's native setting, right?
Okay, because I don't wanna be an ass, here is the solution.
$(document).on('click', '.statbtn', function () {
var me = $(this);
var isAnyRowSelected = false;
$('.row-checkbox').each(function () {
var t = $(this);
if (t.is(':checked')) {
isAnyRowSelected = true;
$('select[name="status[' + t.val() + ']"]').val(me.attr('id'));
}
});
if(isAnyRowSelected == false){
bootbox.alert("No Orders Selected");
}
});
$(document).on('click', '.openlink', function () {
var me = $(this);
var isAnyRowSelected = false;
$($('.row-checkbox').get().reverse()).each(function () {
var t = $(this);
if (t.is(':checked')) {
isAnyRowSelected = true;
console.log();
// var win = window.open(t.data('link'), '_blank');
setTimeout(() => window.open(t.data('link'), '_blank'),1000);
// if (win) {
// win.focus();
// } else {
// bootbox.alert('Please allow popups for this website');
// }
}
});
if(isAnyRowSelected == false){
bootbox.alert("No Orders Selected");
}
});
Basically, adding a "setTimeout" fixed it. For some reason Firefox needed the delay to process things correctly, I guess, I think. Before the delay, the actions would happen instantly, and I'll just guess that Firefox couldn't "catch up" to it in order to apply the exemption of not navigating to new tabs. But a timeout delay fixed it.
And for anyone that may run into this with a similar issue, it also required an edit in Firefox in "about:config" to set this to True.
browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground
That's all folks :)
How do you definitively detect whether or not the user has pressed the back button in the browser?
How do you enforce the use of an in-page back button inside a single page web application using a #URL system?
Why on earth don't browser back buttons fire their own events!?
(Note: As per Sharky's feedback, I've included code to detect backspaces)
So, I've seen these questions frequently on SO, and have recently run into the issue of controlling back button functionality myself. After a few days of searching for the best solution for my application (Single-Page with Hash Navigation), I've come up with a simple, cross-browser, library-less system for detecting the back button.
Most people recommend using:
window.onhashchange = function() {
//blah blah blah
}
However, this function will also be called when a user uses on in-page element that changes the location hash. Not the best user experience when your user clicks and the page goes backwards or forwards.
To give you a general outline of my system, I'm filling up an array with previous hashes as my user moves through the interface. It looks something like this:
function updateHistory(curr) {
window.location.lasthash.push(window.location.hash);
window.location.hash = curr;
}
Pretty straight forward. I do this to ensure cross-browser support, as well as support for older browsers. Simply pass the new hash to the function, and it'll store it for you and then change the hash (which is then put into the browser's history).
I also utilise an in-page back button that moves the user between pages using the lasthash array. It looks like this:
function goBack() {
window.location.hash = window.location.lasthash[window.location.lasthash.length-1];
//blah blah blah
window.location.lasthash.pop();
}
So this will move the user back to the last hash, and remove that last hash from the array (I have no forward button right now).
So. How do I detect whether or not a user has used my in-page back button, or the browser button?
At first I looked at window.onbeforeunload, but to no avail - that is only called if the user is going to change pages. This does not happen in a single-page-application using hash navigation.
So, after some more digging, I saw recommendations for trying to set a flag variable. The issue with this in my case, is that I would try to set it, but as everything is asynchronous, it wouldn't always be set in time for the if statement in the hash change. .onMouseDown wasn't always called in click, and adding it to an onclick wouldn't ever trigger it fast enough.
This is when I started to look at the difference between document, and window. My final solution was to set the flag using document.onmouseover, and disable it using document.onmouseleave.
What happens is that while the user's mouse is inside the document area (read: the rendered page, but excluding the browser frame), my boolean is set to true. As soon as the mouse leaves the document area, the boolean flips to false.
This way, I can change my window.onhashchange to:
window.onhashchange = function() {
if (window.innerDocClick) {
window.innerDocClick = false;
} else {
if (window.location.hash != '#undefined') {
goBack();
} else {
history.pushState("", document.title, window.location.pathname);
location.reload();
}
}
}
You'll note the check for #undefined. This is because if there is no history available in my array, it returns undefined. I use this to ask the user if they want to leave using a window.onbeforeunload event.
So, in short, and for people that aren't necessarily using an in-page back button or an array to store the history:
document.onmouseover = function() {
//User's mouse is inside the page.
window.innerDocClick = true;
}
document.onmouseleave = function() {
//User's mouse has left the page.
window.innerDocClick = false;
}
window.onhashchange = function() {
if (window.innerDocClick) {
//Your own in-page mechanism triggered the hash change
} else {
//Browser back button was clicked
}
}
And there you have it. a simple, three-part way to detect back button usage vs in-page elements with regards to hash navigation.
EDIT:
To ensure that the user doesn't use backspace to trigger the back event, you can also include the following (Thanks to #thetoolman on this Question):
$(function(){
/*
* this swallows backspace keys on any non-input element.
* stops backspace -> back
*/
var rx = /INPUT|SELECT|TEXTAREA/i;
$(document).bind("keydown keypress", function(e){
if( e.which == 8 ){ // 8 == backspace
if(!rx.test(e.target.tagName) || e.target.disabled || e.target.readOnly ){
e.preventDefault();
}
}
});
});
You can try popstate event handler, e.g:
window.addEventListener('popstate', function(event) {
// The popstate event is fired each time when the current history entry changes.
var r = confirm("You pressed a Back button! Are you sure?!");
if (r == true) {
// Call Back button programmatically as per user confirmation.
history.back();
// Uncomment below line to redirect to the previous page instead.
// window.location = document.referrer // Note: IE11 is not supporting this.
} else {
// Stay on the current page.
history.pushState(null, null, window.location.pathname);
}
history.pushState(null, null, window.location.pathname);
}, false);
Note: For the best results, you should load this code only on specific pages where you want to implement the logic to avoid any other unexpected issues.
The popstate event is fired each time when the current history entry changes (user navigates to a new state). That happens when user clicks on browser's Back/Forward buttons or when history.back(), history.forward(), history.go() methods are programatically called.
The event.state is property of the event is equal to the history state object.
For jQuery syntax, wrap it around (to add even listener after document is ready):
(function($) {
// Above code here.
})(jQuery);
See also: window.onpopstate on page load
See also the examples on Single-Page Apps and HTML5 pushState page:
<script>
// jQuery
$(window).on('popstate', function (e) {
var state = e.originalEvent.state;
if (state !== null) {
//load content with ajax
}
});
// Vanilla javascript
window.addEventListener('popstate', function (e) {
var state = e.state;
if (state !== null) {
//load content with ajax
}
});
</script>
This should be compatible with Chrome 5+, Firefox 4+, IE 10+, Safari 6+, Opera 11.5+ and similar.
if (window.performance && window.performance.navigation.type == window.performance.navigation.TYPE_BACK_FORWARD) {
alert('hello world');
}
This is the only one solution that worked for me (it's not a onepage website).
It's working with Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
I had been struggling with this requirement for quite a while and took some of the solutions above to implement it. However, I stumbled upon an observation and it seems to work across Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers + Android and iPhone
On page load:
window.history.pushState({page: 1}, "", "");
window.onpopstate = function(event) {
// "event" object seems to contain value only when the back button is clicked
// and if the pop state event fires due to clicks on a button
// or a link it comes up as "undefined"
if(event){
// Code to handle back button or prevent from navigation
}
else{
// Continue user action through link or button
}
}
Let me know if this helps. If am missing something, I will be happy to understand.
In javascript, navigation type 2 means browser's back or forward button clicked and the browser is actually taking content from cache.
if(performance.navigation.type == 2)
{
//Do your code here
}
Correct answer is already there to answer the question. I want to mention new JavaScript API PerformanceNavigationTiming, it's replacing deprecated performance.navigation.
Following code will log in console "back_forward" if user landed on your page using back or forward button. Take a look at compatibility table before using it in your project.
var perfEntries = performance.getEntriesByType("navigation");
for (var i = 0; i < perfEntries.length; i++) {
console.log(perfEntries[i].type);
}
This will definitely work (For detecting back button click)
$(window).on('popstate', function(event) {
alert("pop");
});
My variant:
const inFromBack = performance && performance.getEntriesByType( 'navigation' ).map( nav => nav.type ).includes( 'back_forward' )

See this:
history.pushState(null, null, location.href);
window.onpopstate = function () {
history.go(1);
};
it works fine...
I was able to use some of the answers in this thread and others to get it working in IE and Chrome/Edge. history.pushState for me wasn't supported in IE11.
if (history.pushState) {
//Chrome and modern browsers
history.pushState(null, document.title, location.href);
window.addEventListener('popstate', function (event) {
history.pushState(null, document.title, location.href);
});
}
else {
//IE
history.forward();
}
A full-fledged component can be implemented only if you redefine the API (change the methods of object ' history ')
I will share the class just written.

Here's my take at it. The assumption is, when the URL changes but there has no click within the document detected, it's a browser back (yes, or forward). A users click is reset after 2 seconds to make this work on pages that load content via Ajax:
(function(window, $) {
var anyClick, consoleLog, debug, delay;
delay = function(sec, func) {
return setTimeout(func, sec * 1000);
};
debug = true;
anyClick = false;
consoleLog = function(type, message) {
if (debug) {
return console[type](message);
}
};
$(window.document).click(function() {
anyClick = true;
consoleLog("info", "clicked");
return delay(2, function() {
consoleLog("info", "reset click state");
return anyClick = false;
});
});
return window.addEventListener("popstate", function(e) {
if (anyClick !== true) {
consoleLog("info", "Back clicked");
return window.dataLayer.push({
event: 'analyticsEvent',
eventCategory: 'test',
eventAction: 'test'
});
}
});
})(window, jQuery);
The document.mouseover does not work for IE and FireFox.
However I have tried this :
$(document).ready(function () {
setInterval(function () {
var $sample = $("body");
if ($sample.is(":hover")) {
window.innerDocClick = true;
} else {
window.innerDocClick = false;
}
});
});
window.onhashchange = function () {
if (window.innerDocClick) {
//Your own in-page mechanism triggered the hash change
} else {
//Browser back or forward button was pressed
}
};
This works for Chrome and IE and not FireFox. Still working to get FireFox right. Any easy way on detecting Browser back/forward button click are welcome, not particularly in JQuery but also AngularJS or plain Javascript.
I solved it by keeping track of the original event that triggered the hashchange (be it a swipe, a click or a wheel), so that the event wouldn't be mistaken for a simple landing-on-page, and using an additional flag in each of my event bindings. The browser won't set the flag again to false when hitting the back button:
var evt = null,
canGoBackToThePast = true;
$('#next-slide').on('click touch', function(e) {
evt = e;
canGobackToThePast = false;
// your logic (remember to set the 'canGoBackToThePast' flag back to 'true' at the end of it)
}
<input style="display:none" id="__pageLoaded" value=""/>
$(document).ready(function () {
if ($("#__pageLoaded").val() != 1) {
$("#__pageLoaded").val(1);
} else {
shared.isBackLoad = true;
$("#__pageLoaded").val(1);
// Call any function that handles your back event
}
});
The above code worked for me. On mobile browsers, when the user clicked on the back button, we wanted to restore the page state as per his previous visit.
Solution for Kotlin/JS (React):

import kotlin.browser.document
import kotlin.browser.window
...
override fun componentDidMount() {
window.history.pushState(null, document.title, window.location.href)
window.addEventListener("popstate", actionHandler)

...
val actionHandler: (Event?) -> Unit = {
window.history.pushState(
null,
document.title,

)
// add your actions here
}
Was looking for a solution for this issue and put together a simple skeleton test html based on a few answers here and the MDN Web Doc pages for History.pushState() and WindowEventHandlers.onpopstate.
The following HTML and JavaScript is easy enough to copy and paste and test.
Works with back and forward browser buttons, shortcut keys, adds a change to the URL (which is important in some cases).
Simply enough to add to existing code key points and should be expandable too.
<html>
<body>
<div id="p1">Option 1</div>
<div id="p2">Option 2</div>
<div id="p3">Option 3</div>
<div id="p4">Option 4</div>
<div id="c"></div>
<script>
var chg={
set:function(str){
var d=document.getElementById("c");
d.textContent=str;
},
go:function(e){
var s={"p":this.id};
chg.set(s.p);
hstry.add(s);
}
};
var hstry={
add:function(s){
var u=new URL(window.location);
u.searchParams.set("x",s.p);
window.history.pushState(s,"",u);
},
adjust:function(state){
if(state.p){
chg.set(state.p);
}
}
};
window.onpopstate=function(e){
console.log("popstate, e.state:["+ JSON.stringify(e.state) +"]");
hstry.adjust(e.state);
}
window.onload=function(){
var i,d,a=["p1","p2","p3","p4"];
for(i=0;i<a.length;i++){
d=document.getElementById(a[i]);
d.addEventListener("click",chg.go,false);
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
browser will emit popstate event if you navigate through your app with calling
window.history.pushState({},'','/to')
If you manually enter the addresses into the address bar and click on the back button, popstate event will NOT be fired.
If you navigate in your app with this simplified function
const navigate = (to) => {
window.history.pushState({}, ",", to);
};
then this will work
const handlePopstate = () => {
console.log("popped");
};
window.addEventListener("popstate", handlePopstate);
I tried the above options but none of them is working for me. Here is the solution
if(window.event)
{
if(window.event.clientX < 40 && window.event.clientY < 0)
{
alert("Browser back button is clicked...");
}
else
{
alert("Browser refresh button is clicked...");
}
}

Could someone please share experience / code how we can detect the browser back button click (for any type of browsers)?
We need to cater all browser that doesn't support HTML5
The 'popstate' event only works when you push something before. So you have to do something like this:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
if (window.history && window.history.pushState) {
window.history.pushState('forward', null, './#forward');
$(window).on('popstate', function() {
alert('Back button was pressed.');
});
}
});
For browser backward compatibility I recommend: history.js
In javascript, navigation type 2 means browser's back or forward button clicked and the browser is actually taking content from cache.
if(performance.navigation.type == 2) {
//Do your code here
}
there are a lot of ways how you can detect if user has clicked on the Back button. But everything depends on what your needs. Try to explore links below, they should help you.
Detect if user pressed "Back" button on current page:
Is there a way using Jquery to detect the back button being pressed cross browsers
detect back button click in browser
Detect if current page is visited after pressing "Back" button on previous("Forward") page:
Is there a cross-browser onload event when clicking the back button?
trigger event on browser back button click
Found this to work well cross browser and mobile back_button_override.js .
(Added a timer for safari 5.0)
// managage back button click (and backspace)
var count = 0; // needed for safari
window.onload = function () {
if (typeof history.pushState === "function") {
history.pushState("back", null, null);
window.onpopstate = function () {
history.pushState('back', null, null);
if(count == 1){window.location = 'your url';}
};
}
}
setTimeout(function(){count = 1;},200);
In case of HTML5 this will do the trick
window.onpopstate = function() {
alert("clicked back button");
}; history.pushState({}, '');
You can use this awesome plugin
https://github.com/ianrogren/jquery-backDetect
All you need to do is to write this code
$(window).load(function(){
$('body').backDetect(function(){
// Callback function
alert("Look forward to the future, not the past!");
});
});

In my case I am using jQuery .load() to update DIVs in a SPA (single page [web] app) .
Being new to working with $(window).on('hashchange', ..) event listener , this one proved challenging and took a bit to hack on. Thanks to reading a lot of answers and trying different variations, finally figured out how to make it work in the following manner. Far as I can tell, it is looking stable so far.
In summary - there is the variable globalCurrentHash that should be set each time you load a view.
Then when $(window).on('hashchange', ..) event listener runs, it checks the following:
If location.hash has the same value, it means Going Forward
If location.hash has different value, it means Going Back
I realize using global vars isn't the most elegant solution, but doing things OO in JS seems tricky to me so far. Suggestions for improvement/refinement certainly appreciated
Set Up:
Define a global var :
var globalCurrentHash = null;
When calling .load() to update the DIV, update the global var as well :
function loadMenuSelection(hrefVal) {
$('#layout_main').load(nextView);
globalCurrentHash = hrefVal;
}
On page ready, set up the listener to check the global var to see if Back Button is being pressed:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).on('hashchange', function(){
console.log( 'location.hash: ' + location.hash );
console.log( 'globalCurrentHash: ' + globalCurrentHash );
if (location.hash == globalCurrentHash) {
console.log( 'Going fwd' );
}
else {
console.log( 'Going Back' );
loadMenuSelection(location.hash);
}
});
});
It's available in the HTML5 History API. The event is called 'popstate'
Disable the url button by following function
window.onload = function () {
if (typeof history.pushState === "function") {

Hasan Badshah's answer worked for me, but the method is slated to be deprecated and may be problematic for others going forward. Following the MDN web docs on alternative methods, I landed here: PerformanceNavigationTiming.type
if (performance.getEntriesByType("navigation")[0].type === 'back_forward') {
// back or forward button functionality
}
This doesn't directly solve for back button over the forward button, but was good enough for what I needed. In the docs they detail the available event data that may be helpful with solving your specific needs:
function print_nav_timing_data() {
// Use getEntriesByType() to just get the "navigation" events
var perfEntries = performance.getEntriesByType("navigation");
for (var i=0; i < perfEntries.length; i++) {
console.log("= Navigation entry[" + i + "]");
var p = perfEntries[i];
// dom Properties
console.log("DOM content loaded = " + (p.domContentLoadedEventEnd -
p.domContentLoadedEventStart));
console.log("DOM complete = " + p.domComplete);
console.log("DOM interactive = " + p.interactive);
// document load and unload time
console.log("document load = " + (p.loadEventEnd - p.loadEventStart));
console.log("document unload = " + (p.unloadEventEnd -
p.unloadEventStart));
// other properties
console.log("type = " + p.type);
console.log("redirectCount = " + p.redirectCount);
}
}
According to the Docs at the time of this post it is still in a working draft state and is not supported in IE or Safari, but that may change by the time it is finished. Check the Docs for updates.
suppose you have a button:
<button onclick="backBtn();">Back...</button>
Here the code of the backBtn method:
function backBtn(){
parent.history.back();
return false;
}
