When I click the back arrow in the upper left sometimes I have to click it 5 -10 or more times to go back a page?
Often I will be on a web page and I hit the back arrow up in the upper left to go back a page and it doesn't work. I see the activity arrow thing just to the right activate for a fraction of a sec. but nothing else happens, I stay on the same page. Sometimes if I hit the back arrow many times really fast it goes back but not always.

There are some pages that add new items to the Back button. For example, some news sites do this as you scroll down to each new article. When the first click on the Back button doesn't work, right-click the button and see whether there are multiple entries for the current site that you can skip by clicking an older entry further down the drop-down.
I know what you are saying but I don't think that is the issues here. I will look a little closer and see if this is the case ...Thanks.
Note that you can also open the Tab history drop-down list by keeping the left mouse button press (i.e. a long press on the left mouse button).
You can start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Right-click that "Back" button to see the listing of the "back history" that Firefox saves. You will be surprised at how many popular webpages continually load additional data as the user scrolls down the webpage; where "each additional" loading of data creates yet another "Go back one page" entry in the "back history".
