Back button goes back past last page

I go to a website har.com to look at houses. After you get search results,
and click on a house for details, when I click the back button, it doesn't go
back to the results page like it used to. It goes back to the first page
where you have to type in all of your search criteria again. Any help?

Hi,
I don't think you can change a setting to fix this. Try one of these
workarounds...

Right-click the link you want to open and choose "Open in a new window."
Holding down Shift when you click the link does the same thing.

Clone the current (search results) window with Ctrl+n or File> New> Window,
then click the link you want to open.

Hope this helps,

That works, but is more time consuming. It used to work by the back button
last week. I must have changed something.

Hi,
No guarantees, but check these settings...
1. Internet Options> Privacy. Are cookie settings too restrictive?
2. Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone> Custom> Userdata Persistence>
Enable.
3. Internet Options> Advanced> Security> uncheck "Do not save encrypted
pages to disk."

A number of users reported this problem with amazon.com a few months ago. I
didn't hear of a successful resolution.
