Safari 6 is slow when hitting the back button

I notice that on Moutain Lion Safari appears quite slow when I hit the back button.
Say I'm on some news site, click on a story but then want to go back after 10 seconds, it appears as if it's loading the whole site where I came from again.
Is there some setting to change this?
Also with version 6, it appears that Safari is really waiting for each and every object to be finished before displaying anything.
I think this kind of was always the case with Safari, but before on Safari 5, it felt much quicker here and I'd appreciate some rendering before every image is loaded.

Same here. After clicking the BACK button in Safari I get old copies. I am using Ipad 16GB wifi-only.
Issue started with IOS5. It worked fine before.
When the old page is shown, a refresh helps as workaround. Untill Applie fixes it.

Securing Portal when hitting the Back Button

Does Portal have the ability to support kiosks operation (not
able to press back button to reveal sensitive information) while
in session?

If this does turn out to be a fault with firefox you will need to file a bug to investigate it. Meanwhile you will probably be able to get knowledgeable comment from one of the Mozillazine forums: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25

Firefox crashes upon hitting the back button while looking at email in Outlook.

Why does Safari refresh the page when using the back button?

Safari didn't use to do this.
Even on these forums, when you hit the back button to go back exactly where you were at, if there are new posts, the entire page may have changed. I knew exactly the next post I wanted to look at before the page was refreshed. Now, I can't even find the post I wanted to read unless I scroll through the entire list again.
I need to be able to go back to the page I was just on and not have it refresh.
I need to go back exactly where I was.
Safari can't even go back properly as it wants to go back near the top of the last page I was on.
I need it to go back exactly where I was at.
I have no idea what the engineers are thinking about this one.
FireFox works properly when going back to the prior page.
I have long lists on pages I work with.
For example:
1. through 1,000.
If I am on reference number 500 on the previous page, when I hit back, it goes all the way back up to around 20 in the list.
I have to then scroll manually page down to 500 where I was at.
This is tedious, cumbersome and unnessesary.
Safari was much better before it was updated to this horrible behavior.
I don't know of any preferences you can change to change this odd behavior.
Anyone know of anyway to stop this horrible behavior in Safari?
This is like reading a book, but when you go back a page, the entire page may have changed and I have no idea where I was at.
Pretty $iss poor in my opinion.

Yes, that is correct.
However, you can also use the mouse or trackpad to swipe back a page and it still refreshes the last page.
Safari never did this back in Snow Leopard and maybe some versions of Safari in Lion.
However, Safari in Mountain Lion always does this.
It is very cumbersome using the "open link in new window" or "open link in new tab".
It was much better just being able to click the back button or swiping to get back exactly where you were on the prior page.
Hopefully more people will send Apple feedback on this.
Thanks for sharing.

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref. 
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar. 
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

i purchased a year of adobe cc today. The screen came up to tell me it was processing my payment, not to hit the "back" button or refresh the page as it could take a few minutes. That was 7 hours ago. I contacted the help chat department and was told it would take 24 hours to process. Is this normal?? Why would the screen tell me "a few minutes" if it's actually 24 hours? Has anyone else had this problem? I am so tempted to just refresh the page and try my luck with my credit card canceling a second payment should it happen. THAT might be faster.

Why can't I get to the previous page by hitting the back button just once?

Hi there.My problem is that when I try to go back to the previous page(s) and hit the back button nothing happens.I have to hit it twice or triple to force action.This is happening after the latest update of mozilla.I know that in previous mozilla versions you had to double-click to go back to previous pages, but in the latest versions you could go back by just one click(double-clicking remained as a choice for the romantic...).Is it a matter of set up?Please answer cause it's really annoying...

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
Also, Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

How to prevent going back to the previous page by hitting the Back button ?

In the html code I generate from my servlet, I have the following :
<Html>
<Head>
<Title>Cox Part Time Benefit App Login Page</Title>
<Meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

<Meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">

<Meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">

</Head>
I hope it can prevent user from going back to the previous page by hitting the Back button on the browser, but it doesn't, what's the right way to do it ?
Frank

I think I'm half way now, but something is missing. I have the following filter :
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ResponseHeaderFilter implements Filter
FilterConfig fc;
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req,ServletResponse res,FilterChain chain) throws IOException,ServletException
 HttpServletResponse response=(HttpServletResponse)res;
 for (Enumeration e=fc.getInitParameterNames();e.hasMoreElements();) // Set the provided HTTP response parameters
 String headerName=(String)e.nextElement();
 response.addHeader(headerName,fc.getInitParameter(headerName));
 chain.doFilter(req,response); // Pass the request/response on
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig)
 this.fc=filterConfig;
public void destroy()
 this.fc=null;
}And in my web.xml, I have something like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

<servlet-mapping>
</servlet-mapping>
<session-config>
</session-config>
<welcome-file-list>
</welcome-file-list>
<resource-ref>
</resource-ref>
<filter>
<filter-name>ResponseHeaderFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>ResponseHeaderFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
 <param-name>Cache-Control</param-name>
 <param-value>private,no-cache,no-store</param-value>
 </init-param>

 </init-param>
<init-param>
 <param-name>expires</param-name>
 <param-value>0</param-value>
 </init-param>
</filter>
</web-app>I rebuilt the project and ran it, and yet, I can still hit the "Back" button and get to previous page, what am I missing ? Is what I've done in the web.xml file enough to set it up, or do I need to call ResponseHeaderFilter somewhere in my servlet in order to use it ?

When I hit the back button to return to a previous page...

...I get the dialog box: Confirm: Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. Resend or Cancel, Is there any way to disable this very annoying feature (for me anyway),
I know what I want to do and this annoys the hell out of me.

You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page or refresh a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a (hidden) POST form. 
Firefox can only make sure to get the same page by resending that POST form. 
Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time. 
A way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click. 
Then you can close that tab or window to go back.

Itunes 10.6.3 available, but whenI hit the download button,nothing happens

itunes 10.6.3 available, but when I hit the download button,nothing happens

There's a couple of things you can try with that one.
(1) You could try doing the update using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(2) You could try doing a "Run as Administrator" with your Apple Software Update.
Quit Apple Software Update first if you've got it open.
In Computer (or My Computer, on XP) open your C Drive or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
If you've got a 32-bit Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
If you've got a 64-bit Windows, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
Open the "Apple Software Update" folder.
Right-click on the "SoftwareUpdate.exe" file and select "Run as Administrator", as per the following screenshot:
Does ASU show you the iTunes update now?

Firefox used to have an option on the navigation bar next to the back/forward buttons that showed navigation history - I could go back ten screens w/o hitting the back button ten times. Does the new version have this feature? If so, how do I enable it?

It was a triangle button that provided a drop-down menu of my most recent navigation history within a site. Very convenient, esp for slide shows if I wanted to return to a slide that was 10-12 slides back.

Firefox still has this feature, you just click and hold the back button or the forward button, depending on whether you want to go back or forward.

Instead of hitting the "back" button on the toolbar, where is the drop down to go back 2-3 pages?

I used to be able to go back a few pages at a time until the latest upgrade. Now, if I click the "back" button on the toolbar I can only go back 1 page at a time. This doesn't always work and I have to go back to my original starting point which could be 10-15 click back ... is there anyway to get the option to go back multiple pages like before or can I just not use certain web pages anymore?
thank you!

Use this to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

I have to hit the back button twice because the history seems to have duplicated a page.

After clicking on a link to another site I have to click the back button twice in order to return to the first page. If I hold down the back button instead, the history shows that somehow an extra click has shown up.

I now realize it seems confined to a particular link from My.Yahoo page and therefore must not be a firefox issue.

Do I really have to hit the back button five times now in order to go back five pages?

Before I downloaded the new version, there was a drop-down menu next to the back and forward buttons showing the last few pages downloaded. Now it's gone and it's really tedious to keep pushing the back button instead of going straight to the previous page of my choice.

It seems the designers wanted to eliminate anything that wasn't ''absolutely necessary''. You can access the list of earlier sites by right-clicking the button or by clicking and holding the button. But if you prefer to have a separate drop-down, see the above add-on.
