OFTEN, when I hit the back button or swipe back, I get a Safari page that is a day or two old instead of the current page. DRIVES ME NUTS. Chrome? Firefox? These might be on the hotizon if I can't get this fixed.

Is that correct ??
Now using Safari 6.0 but same with 5.???. Using Lion (up-to-date).
Apple omitted the back button on Safari 6...
Enable the Develop menu so you can delete caches and see if that makes a difference.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches
Quit then relaunch Safari. The Command key and back arrow on your keyboard acts as the back button.
Let me re phrase that. The back button is available, but pressing Delete on your keyboard no longer functions as it did in previous Safari versions.
Carolyn, I don't think you even read my question. PLEASE: OFTEN, when I hit the back button or swipe back, I get a Safari page that is a day or two old instead of the current page. DRIVES ME NUTS. Chrome? Firefox? These might be on the hotizon if I can't get this fixed.
This is NOT about the back button being there or not. WHEN I HIT THE BACK BUTTON I GET A DAY-OLD PAGE INSTEAD OF THE ONE I WAS ON A MINUTE AGO. Same with 5.?? and 6.0. Lease consider the actual question I asked. Thank you.

Did you empty the cache as I suggesed ??
Yes, I've done that and done that for weeks. It still happens. And, why should I need to manually attend to something that should be simple, going back a page? BTW, this anomoly doesn't happen every time I hit the back button or swipe back. It's quite abitrary. Sorry to make this so weird.
hit back button
