After refreshing page back button doesnt work

After refreshing a page only in firefox the back button doesnt work anymore if there is an iframe on the page. I have a page with contents that load into an iframe and when you reload the page the back button no longer works and i have a link with script to go back like the back button and it no longer works either. Not really sure how to word the question but if this scenario happens like if you just load a page and have to reload it right away then you click a link in an iframe then the back button doesnt work and the back in the frame that has the script to go back doesnt work either so you cant navigate back to the original list in the iframe at all. Hope that made sense and thanks for your help.

This happens in Safe Mode?

Also you can try go to your profile and try delete the localstore.rdf.

First you need uhide the hidden files and folders:

Then go to your profile:

Close Firefox.

Now try delete the localstore.rdf

Is the Back button enabled (i.e. is there tab history present if you hold down the left mouse button on the B/F button)?
