I'm having issues going back to a previous page after clicking anything on a freshly loaded page. How do I fix this issue?

Like I said, it happens on a fresh page on a new tab. If I click on a link on the tab, I go to the next page on the tab. However, the back button is grayed out. Unless I go to history, I cannot go back to the previous page I was on. On that same tab, if I click on a link on the second page, then I am able to go back to the previous page, but not the first page. This also affects my homepage as I am unable to reload anything on my homepage unless I click on something first... This all started after the latest Firefox update.

It seems to be something to do with McAfee Site Advisor 3.3 - A bug of some sort. When I went to tools -> addons -> extensions and disabled site advisor and restarted FireFox, the issue was no longer there. Hope this helps you.

And if those don't help, maybe this will:

Hope this helps.
