Your info is quite grim. If you don't want to go back/forward to a previous
page, don't use the back/forward buttons. Either type in a new site or click
the Home button and start anew. If you want to go to a previous page but not
the most recent in your present web session and you use IE, click the dropdown
arrow next to the back or forward button and click on the page you want to go
to.

In the event you use Internet Explorer,

Tools > Internet Options > General > (Temporary Internet files) Settings

Check for newer versions of stored pages > Never

Then F5 whenever you'd like to refresh a Web page.
