This randomly happens and i can not tell exactly what i do or why.

All i know is that every time you visit a page,site, picture etc... the back button remembers every page you have just been too in that session.

However some times the back button goes grey and i can not click on it and it loses all the previous pages i have been to.

I can reopen the last pages by going to my history but it's really annoying as it takes time and as i surf and look at a lot of things, the back button is crucial for me.

I am experiencing the same problem with the back button randomly being greyed out and not functional. If I navigate to the same page a second time, the back button is usually functional again... have not been able to associate this behavior with any particular site
