How annoying is this 'feature'?!! Please tell me how I can disable it so I can enjoy my browsing. Constant message pop up when trying to back up a page with back arrow - "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

It's because you must have sent some information like you must have clicked on Submit button to perform any query. So when you will click on back button it will again send this info. So, right click on Back button and choose 2nd site from the top of the list to go to previous page.

I'm sorry but that's a useless answer. I know why it is doing it, but I want to know how to get rid of it? The back button should go back, plain & simple. I'm not going to right click & then choose a previous page. Mozilla, get your shit together & answer this problem that me & many others are having.
