It's extremely annoying to have to click on the pop up " RESEND or CANCEL " almost every time I click 'Back' on my firefox browser. I can't be bothered by having to do this extra step so often when it never happens in IE.

Open such links in a new tab instead with a middle-click on the link to avoid that.
It happens if you open a link in the tab and you go back to a page that has been opened by sending POST data from a possibly hidden form.
In such a case Firefox needs to send that POST data to the server to verify that the page hasn't changed.
