When I do a GOOGLE search using Firefox or IE 11 and read one of the hits I cannot get back to the rest of the hits.

I do a Google search for a topic and Google returns the search results. I then select one of the returned topics and look at it. Then I want to go back to the search results, but that does not work. I get a blank page that hangs for ever.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista if you don't already have one. Windows 8/10 have antivirus protection built-in.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

I get around this by; When I find a link I want to check out, I open it in a new tab/window. Then when I am done, I close it and am back where I started.
