back button on FireFox

Question

back button on FireFox

I began to use FireFox but find that the back button doesn't work. In order to get out of the page I'm on is either to relaunch FireFox or open a new window. Safari and Camino work ok.
Any suggestions.

iMac 20", Mac OS X (10.4.1), 1Gb, Titanium 250Gb Ext FireWire Drive

Contact the Firefox developers. This isn't an OS X problem, obviously.

You should take your question to the Firefox forums you can find on Mozilla at http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php

I see there is something along the lines of your query in a thread in the "Firefox Bugs" thread at

Some websites use a Javascript to make the "back" button work like "reload".
If this is what is happening, using the "history" menu, or "go" menu, to select another page should work.
