When posting on message boards I get a message about resending data when I use the back button. I'm only getting the option to resend which makes a double post or cancel which just leaves me on the same page. I want to go back without resending data since I don't want to double post. Is there anyway to make it not resend data.

That is not possible. You can open such links with a middle-click or a Ctrl left-click in a new tab to avoid that. Then you can close that tab to go back and do not need to use the Back key.

If you right-click the Back button and select the previous web page from the tab-history drop-down, you wouldn't be re-sending any data and you shouldn't get that message about post data.

I'm having this issue when trying to use a web form with the latest 4.0 version of firefox. Is there a way around this annoying warning box that pops up?
