Weird thing, my back button doesn't work. (IE8)

Doesn't matter what site I'm on, the page back arrow does nothing when I click on it.

How on earth do I fix this?

Win 7 /IE 8

Seems like lots of people have had this it sounds like an add on has disabled it

Heres a page with people discussing it - some managed to fix it - read it all first to decide which way you want to try fix it

I will back Firefox anyday too! You could also try right clicking then using "Back" or using your backspace button?

I'm having this same problem and I'm using Firefox. I've just done a search on this forum as not sure why it's happening...

I installed the most recent Windows update and the problem has been rectified.

wow, an update actually fixed something!

With firefox it's still not working and it's driving me mad

bob_man_uk · 13 March 2010 at 4:54PM

what version of firefox are you running?

System · 13 March 2010 at 5:16PM

It's version 3.6

The back button has appeared at the minute but has a habit of missing

Do you have history disabled, or any software that could be interfering with it (such as over zealous security software?)
