On eBay, after a search, I select an item from search and can't get back to search list from the item page. When you open Firefox back arrow menu, all listings (15 of them) are for the current (item) page. Nothing to go back to. I did a complete reset of Firefox as recommended and have no add-ons. Still won't go back. When I click the back arrow, the address bar shifts about 1/4" right, shows another arrow, and then moves back. This is the only indication of anything happening. No visible page flicker.
