Hi @manningb Can you provide an example of the page where you're having this issue? Sometimes it's the way the page is built due to some of its features or method of authentication that makes going backward the wrong result you're expecting.

Unfortunately, there's not enough information here to troubleshoot. @manningb please re-open if you have more information. Ex: was this the back button on your mouse? or you are clicking the back button and it's not working?

I'll definitely take a look at #15645 (back button on mouse not working)

Hey, did you find a solution? I have the same problem and it's annoying...

Same here. And it happens quite frequently

I experience this issue on github.com quite often. Usually when I'm looking at an issue or PR and hit back to go to the repo homepage.
