When searching inside some pages, especially Microsoft Support, I can't return to search engine.

This has been going on for so long, I forgot if there has ever been a reason or a solution for it.

Some pages won't let go of you, From search to a specific MS support page, for instance, when I press the back button, it returns me to the Home Page within Microsoft Support. (I'm always trying to return to Search.) The only way to do it is to open History.

When inside IE, it never happens. I noticed this during recent Win10 installations, before I had a chance to download FF. Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
