[Safari] Problem with browser back button

Hello community,


I experienced some problem during browsing with Safari:

if I visit a site from a Google search and then I go back to the search results page does not load leaving completely empty: I need to manually refresh the page in order to see the page.

Does anyone have experienced this issue?

My OS is the most updated Yosemite.


Thank you.

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Delete cookies and website data and see if that helps.



From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.


Click: Remove All Website Data


Quit and relaunch Safari to test.


If that didn't help, delete the cache associated with Safari.


Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder


Type or copy paste the following


~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db


Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.


Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

BTW, your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.10.3. If that is correct, the v10.10.4 update is avaiable from the App Store.

Click your Apple  menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click: App Store then select Updates.

This problem just started happening for me last week. I have 3 separate google accounts and I was logged out of all of them. When I tried to go to the google sign-in page my browser would just hang. I quit safari, re-loaded and then logged into one of my google accounts. The problem of the back button going to a blank page no longer happens.
