On some websites, the back button (clicking the back arrow or using keyboard shortcut) doesnt work. I looks like it wants to, but stays on the same page, no matter how many times I click it.

And it works fine on a lot of other sites.

FF 7.0.1 as default browser, Vista Business SP2.

It's consistent on seacoastonline.com. I've tried disabling all plugins and extensions, running in safe mode, renaming places.sqlite file.

Any entries in the session history of that tab?

Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:

  • Right click on the Back or Forward button
  • Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

Thanks for your quick response.

Yes, there are entries there.

Funny thing... I ran latest version of CC Cleaner this morning to clean out temp files, etc., and now the back button works correctly.
