Two-finger swipe as back button

I am accustomed to having the two-finger right-left swipe be the equivalent of the back button in my browser (Safari 5.1), but it's stopped working. Can anyone point me toward a fix?

Check the setting in System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures tab > Check "Swipe between pages".

Make sure that it says left or right with two fingers. If it says 3 fingers then click the arrow next to it and set it back to 2 fingers.
