When I click the "back arrow" when I'm using Ebay, I get "document has expired." This is very annoying. Can anyone tell me in simplistic terms how to stop this error message?

You can get a "document has expired" message if you use the back button or a bookmark to go back to a specific page and the web site has instructed Firefox not to cache the page. Firefox tries to retrieve the page from the server, possibly by sending POST data that is no longer valid. In such a case best is to open links from such a page in a new tab/window by middle-clicking a link to avoid using the Back button, but instead close the tab to return to the previous tab.
