Firefox 3.6.13 - periodically the "go back one page" (left arrow) does nothing. The arrow is 'lit', and multiple clicks and I still stay on the current page. Mike @ [email protected]

Happens only sometimes.

If you email me with some kind of reference number, I will try to make it happen and get back to you with more details.

Thanks,

Note that some sites won't allow "go back"(which usually is bad site design, but that's another question).

Often developers do this by using JavaScript. You may test a site by temporarily turning off JavaScript in Firefox which would then not honour JavaScript code by that site.

Of course turning off JavaScript in your browser may reduce functionality on some sites, but security-wise it would be a good thing ...
