I have the latest Yosemite with a Mac Pro 2013.
Lately, when I use Safari to do a Google search, if I click on one of the links and then go back, it brings me back to my search results and the page is completely blank. I have to RELOAD for the results to show up.
Anyone else getting this lovely behavior from the Apple browser running on Apple's OS running on Apple's hardware?
Might be a cookies, cache, extensions, or plug-ins issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
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.
If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If you have a Google account and are signed in to it, disable the "Instant results" option in the account settings. That's a Google setting, not a Safari setting.

I found that disabling the Adblock extension, than clearing your web history, reloading the page solved this issue for me. When I now hit the back icon in the Safari menu bar, it return to my Google search results and displays them as requested. No need to reload anymore. Mac OS X used is updated to date (10.10.4 Yosemite, Safari 8.0.7).
Well ... it worked for about 10 minutes ... :-(
Thanks for the reply.
I turned off instant results as Linc advised. I'll update later today when I find out if this fixed it.
Thanks everyone!
