the time. Fix?

Thanks,

Back button works fine on Windows 7 on my home PC. What 3rd party toolbars
have you got loaded? Google? Yahoo? Anything else?

The only time the back button doesn't seem to work is when there is an
intermediate redirection page, so when you click back you are returned to
the URL that redirects to the page you were on again. If you use the little
drop down arrow next to the buttons you can skip back 2 pages to work around
this. Not a lot the browser can do about this - the back button just takes
you back to the previous URL, if that happens to be a redirection then it
will kick in again.

It works fine in a private browsing session but not in a normal session.
