why do i have to confirm to go back. ie: backspace or back arrow
If I am on a 1 page and want to go back to previous page, a window pops up and wants me to confirm that I want it to reload. then when I finally get back to the page, I am not at the location on the page when I clicked another link on that page.
If this is suppose to be better, then I may go back E-8 or G/C.

Do you mean an alert about resending POST data?
You get such an alert if you go back to a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a POST form.
The only way that Firefox can make sure to get the same page is by resending that POST form.
Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.
The only way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click.
Then you can close that tab or window to go back.
