Why does the first page in a tab disappear?

When I open a tab, the first page that is displayed disappears when I go to another page in that tab. The back arrow doesn't become active until I go to a third page. I can go back to the second page, but not the first one. Example: I open a new tab using the + button. I type a keyword in the search toolbar and perform the search. If I select one of the results of the search, I can't go back to the original list of results.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
