I only want go back one page when I click on go back 1 page but a box says "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier"
When I drill down into a website 3 or 4 pages I can't go back just 1 page (the immediately previous page that I was on).
When I try to go back 1 page, a pop-up that says "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier." This box gives me 2 options RESEND or CANCEL. If I hit cancel I stay on the page I am on. If I hit resend I get taken back to the first page, not just 1 page back.
How can I change this so I can just go back to the same place on the previous page?

You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page or refresh a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a (hidden) POST form.
Firefox can only make sure to get the same page by resending that POST form.
Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.
A way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click.
Then you can close that tab or window to go back.
Thank you for your message.
I have been using Firefox for about 3 years and just started getting the alert about re-sending post data a few weeks ago.
This is a big problem for me because this increases the time it takes me to do my work.
Has something changed about Firefox? I don't want to switch to another browser but will have to if I can't get Firefox to go back to the way it was before.
Thanks very much in advance for any comments or advice you could offer.
