BACK problem.
For some reason when i go to some of my favorite sites this nuisance problem occurs, eg.
Digital Spy forum- When i select BACK it takes 3 or 4 hits on BACK to return to previous page. Torrent Spy- Takes 2 hits on BACK to return to previous page. This problem introduced itself some time ago but i have been living with it, any ideas how to fix it please |

Some websites "break" the back button depending on how they're built. While annoying, it's probably not the browser's fault unless you're seeing other problems with that.

Thanks force flow, i dont think thats the problem as it worked OK for a couple of years at least and only started this year and as i said the button still works but i have to select it either 2,3 or 4 times to go back depending on which site i am on.

I've had this problem when using a custom HOST file. Removing the host file fixed it.

When the Back fails to work, just use the drop down menu by the Back button and pick your previous link. I use that method all the time cuz it's quicker than hitting the Back button multiple times.

Any site that uses a re-direct (from one page to another) will break the back button. You can do as PR said or double-click the back button works too.
