Curious about Failure of Back button at some webpages; single or multiple Clicks of Back button do nothing (other than to reload/maintain current page)

Issue is not present in IE (ugh!), and I'm told does not occur in Chrome.

Latest example is Ebay listing (Won't include URL - but Item #111361480124)

Tried flushing Cache ... no fix! Per suggestion by Ebay folks: closed & re-opened browser, went to my "Watch List", Clicked on Item there to re-open listing window ... and at this point Back button works normally!?!

Insights, anyone?

HI jerswing, Thank you for your question, I understand that when you click on the back button that sometimes it does not go back. It is possible to navigate to the previous page from the History menu as well.

Another trick that is even better is to right click on the back button. This will show the full list of pages navigated on. Did this work on the ebay page?
