1) I open a new tab and a page displays (homepage, whatever), 2) I go to a new page under the same tab, 3) I go to another new page under the same tab. The Problem Is: The page in step 1) never gets recorded in the page history. I can never use the "back" arrow to get to that first page. It never shows up in the page history of that tab. I know it used to record that first page but it doesn't anymore. Does anyone else have this same problem? Can you give it a try and tell me if the same thing happens to you?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.15 which upgraded a few days ago. So that may be it. I also just did a pc tune up but I don't think that had anything to do with it. Thanks.

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I started to have the same problem within the past week. I am using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.16.

I also tried the fix "cor-el" had posted , but that didn't help or fix this issue.
