IE backspace not working properly
Hello,
i have this happening for several months now, and hope some one can tell me a fix, or why it happens.
when i open IE and surft to different sites, i found that for getting back to the previous site with the BACK arrow on top left of the page, i have to click 2x very fast, or it re-opens the site i was on.
i believe this started happening from Windows 7 - i now run IE9 on a W7 SP1 system, and have this problem on all my PC's

i had the same problem, it seems you have to start from google- then search for external disk - pick the amazon site
when i hold the back arrow - i don't see the list of pages, but it brings me directly back to google

You must have clicked it and then clicked it again, because google uses a redirect to load results you click on.

i wish the internet was a bit easier to use - why they make it so difficult ?
that is not good advertising imo....i will avoid these if possible
what i would like to know : can this be turned off (the redirection)?

Hah... many people think it should be harder to use, not easier.
Google uses redirection so the destination site knows the click came from their results.
ALL search sites do the same... then they can charge companies like amazon to put their links higher up in the results list, because amazon can look at their own server logs and see how many millions of clicks per day are coming from which search site[s].

Rather than use the Back arrow, click the down caret just to right of the Forward arrow. You will see where a click on the Back arrow will take you and you can also click the page to which you want to go assuming it is in the list.

Darr - a click is not worth anything, afaik - strange they pay per click (there should be other methods)
i'm not sure what you mean with "many people think it should be harder to use, not easier."

at least i know now what is happening, even if i have no cure
If you add in LastPass, Xmarks, iMacros, DeJaVu or anything to a browser, it will affect how the browser acts.
