Do you have your cache set to 0? If you have it set to
zero it seems it would have to re-draw the page since it
has no cache files to draw from. If its set to zero in your
prefs. you may wish to set a manageable value in the
cache value field. Tools>Options>Privacy>Cache.
20,000 kb=20mb etc. Can you post more info and
details if this isnt the case, and your UA string. Help>

Are you asking for a blank page when you do a 'Back'? I don't think that's possible, FB, IE, Netscape, whatever.

If you have a disk cache it will look there 1st. If it is a big disk cache you'll most likely get what is in the cache depending on your other settings. If the disk cache is zero, the page will be completely redrawn from scratch. It is then residing in memory, instead of on disk.
IF both disk, and memory cache are set to zero, then I don't know what will happen, Never tried it. Probably won't be able to go forward or backward because nothing is 'holding' the information.

No but even with emmory cache, etc. enabled, FB re-renders the page, but STILL loading it from the cache thats what slows it down.

Try going "back" in Opera and it's blazing! It's kinda funny how much difference a few seconds make :(

Thanks for the help though youre all very helpful.

I have my disk cache at 1000KB, and memory at 4096KB
My back button is almost instant if I have not cleared the cache's.
Even with several tabs that have things in the 'back'.

Like XF asked, let us know your version and OS.

Maybe this is a bug like XF said in your build. I would update
to the 0.7 mile stone. Back up your bookmarks and plugins
etc., you may need to use a new profile with 0.7, only way
you will know is to test after installing 0.7.

Hitting back on my Firebird 0.7 is as blazingly fast as Opera. So it doesn't re-render the page for me. Unless I clear the cache. If I clear the cache it will have to re-render then.

Not for me it isn't. I have the cache set to 50mb, and Firebird STILL reloads the whole page nine times out of ten when I go back.

No, if you clear the cache Firebird would have to re-fetch the page from the Web, then render it. If you don't clear the cache, Firebird renders the page from data stored in the cache (either in memory or on disk). Opera on the other hand caches a rendered page, so when going 'Back' there is no requirement for rendering. Opera's 'Back' or 'Forward' is faster, simply because of the way it is designed.

I've just come across this. The only two things I really miss about Opera are being able to go back and forward with out it reloading the page (when you submit some info such as a search engine) that and being able to use key shortcuts (z and x in opera) are what for me would make FireFox perfect.
