Can't return to previous page!

Post by FoxInFire »

Hey there, I already used the searchengine but I didn't find any solution for my problem, it satarted about a month ago:

whenever I visit a page using FF and want to go back to the previous page, it doesn't work.
I then noticed that every site is kinda refreshing, I can see that by looking on the tab: the loading-symbol appears and refreshes the page.
Now, when I do a right-click on the return-button, the website filled the whole chronic! It depends on how often it refreshes. The more refreshing, the more the website increases! ](*,)

I'm sorry for my bad english but I hope anyone knows what to do.

Do you have Firefox set to "Always use Private Browsing mode"? Check that using menu path Tools->Options->Security.
Under the same menu path, do you have Firefox set to "Remember my browsing and download history"?

Hey, thanks for your fast answer!

I checked the security tab for any options like 'always use Private Browsing Mode' and 'Remember my browsing and download history' but there was nothing like that..
I checked the other tools too and updated FF but still nothing like that :?

Ummm,
Did you check under, Tools > Options > Privacy.

You have to enable "Use custom settings" from the, History > "Firefox will" drop down.
