Quick Way To Go Back

When browsing websites, we all make extensive use of the “Back” button on our browsers. Usually we move our mouse to the top left of the screen and click the button, but there are a couple of much faster and easier way to do this:

- Right click on the page body (not on a link or graphic) and “Back” will be the first pop-up menu option.
- Press the Backspace key on your keyboard. Note: make sure you do not have your cursor in a text or the URL field.

Both of these work in IE and Firefox and can save you the trouble of having to move your mouse across the screen.
