Default Firefox Browser Issues With Forum?

I'm using the Firefox browser on a Mac and can't go back a page. It just sits on the same page like it hasn't received the instruction. I can't do it via the mouse or keyboard commands. I've update the browser to no effect. The browser works great on every other website.

Has anybody else experienced this problem here?

If you click the back browser button twice in a row, does it work?

I have the same problem, It's with Firefox only. If I use IE or Chrome they work fine?

Using Firefox on a Mac here also. I sometimes have the same thing happen here and on other forums. Tapping the back arrow does nothing, but holding the down arrow next to it reveals the recent history. I just select the page I want from that list.

Thought that I was the only one....................It takes two mouse clicks to back up a page. It's actually been that way for a few months, even through the upgrades of Firefox............

All the other forums work correctly. Maybe our forum overseers will look into this problem and correct it once and for all............Oh and maybe they will cut out all the damn trackers also..............

Sometimes it works that way and some times it doesn't. If i hit the reload button and catch it just right it will, but it's very inconsistent.

I've noticed this, too. I guess I'll use this as the work around.

Just to clarify, does this generally occur when not logged in? When logged in, the back button works normally?

I think both, but I didn't really take notice of that. However, today I've been logged in and it has been working fine. I'll let you know if I have any problems while logged in. I definitely had problems logged out. That's usually the way I view unless I have a question.
