When I have clicked on a web site link from a google search page other than the first, and then click the back button it goes to the first search page instead of the last one i was on, so that I have to scroll down and click on the last search page I was at. If I was on the third search page, I want to be able to click the back button and be sent to search page 3, and not 1 again. When using Internet Explorer it goes back to whatever search page I was on last in google, so I'm thinking it is a firefox issue, not google.

Hi gretchen0906,

That doesn't happen for me. Does it happen for you in safe mode? Please follow the steps here:

Thank you for posting a reply eddyc. I have tried your suggestion, and that still happens when firefox is in safe mode.
