Limited history available with "go back" button -- maybe 30-40 pages, then must go to initial page and start over again. Can I take page limit off of Go Back button?

When using "firstview.com" and scrolling through pictures, I wish to return to my initial viewing page. I use the "go back" button and am able to return 30 or so pages, and then it does not allow further "go back." Can I increase or eliminate the limit on the capacity to go back using the go back button?

You can try to increase the pref browser.sessionhistory.max_entries on the about:config page.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
