I have noticed few problems using history with Back and Forward Button.


Firstly whenver we use back button my website to the hiistorical visited website in that same tab. However i have noticed that it keeps forgetting the count or number of historical sites visited in the same tab.

For Eg: if i navigate to several pages on the same site. Firefox will only remember few clicks upto 2-3 back.

Surprisingly when i click back button i am not able to come back to the last visited page by clicking forward button. Once i click back button then i wont be able to come to forward sites as the forward pages are fully lost.

I dont know why is this happening

It would help if others knows what site this is happening with to replicate the issue your having. And this is standard Firefox no Addon or customization?

Sites have full control over navigation history so it entirely depends on the site.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

No it happens randomly. Sometimes it will happen on abc site and sometimes it wont happen on same abc site.

I am not sure why.

Also earlier i was able to go back to the same first page when i created a new tab. Now it doesnt go back more than 3-4 pages back on all sites.

Does it happen on sites other than abc?

abc is not a website. I just gave you an example that it happens on certain or most sites
