Strange operation of Back Button

[Vic Baron]

Running XP Pro Sp2 with latest updates. Since the last update I've noticed a
specific occurrence that has me puzzled. On MANY sites that I visit, when I
click the back button to go to the previous page, I see " 127.0.0.1" flash
in the status bar, then "done" and I'm still on the same page. It looks as
if a frame on the page has reloaded but it browser does not go to the prior
page. However, if I click back twice in rapid succession - it goes to the
prior page.

I have run Spybot and MS AntiSpyware and AVG anti virus - nothing unusual on
my system.

This has occurred since the last update ( about 4 days ago ).

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanx,

Vic Baron
