Safari will automatically send me back to the previous page

Every time when I click a link on any website, it will automatically send me back to the page where I just was; or if I'm at the homepage and enter a website, it brings me back to the homepage. It only happens once per page but it is very frustrating having to do everything twice.
Thanks,
Tiffany

HI Tiffany and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar, Safari/Empty Cache
Relaunch Safari.
If you still have problems, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If third party add ons aren't the issue, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
One more thing. Please click My Settings on the right side of this page and tell us which Mac you are using and which Mac OS X. Thanks!

When I am on Safari, the page randomly goes back to the previous page I was on. This is really frustrating when I am writing something online because it does not save my work. Fix for this?

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

After i restore my ipod 5, it automatically takes me back to the hello page to start over again, this is highly frustrating i just want to be able to use my ipod, how do i fix this?!?!

After the latest OS update, Safari locks up when trying to flip back to the previous page

After the latest OS update, Safari locks up when trying to flip back to the previous page using the two finger sweep.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands. I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

Help, please.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

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 ?

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>
<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>
    <param-name>Pragma</param-name>
    <param-value>no-cache</param-value>
   </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 ?

Hi Vmanfromusa!
It sounds like you are having an issue with activating your iMessage app on your iPad. An article outlining some troubleshooting steps for this issue can be found here:

My company recently loaded foxfire and I cannot have two applications open in foxfire, the second page overlays the first and I cannot go back to the previous page or reduce the first page to view the first.

My pages in Foxfore are overlaying one another which is normal but you cannot get back to the previous page. An example is if I have a page opened in a program and open something totally different it replaces the first page and I cannot reduce the size to see the first page I was viewing nor go back to it. I did open a page with audio and opened another application in foxfire and the replacing went on as usual but the audio continued to play so the page is stinn there. Also the tool bar page showing icon is replaced with the newly opened page not an additional page opened being shown as a tab. It's like the newest page or site I open in Foxfire replaces the one that is currently opened.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I first had sites opening with Foxfire

You got it. OS = operating system.
safari is the internet browser on the computer? It doesnt matter what Im doing it just randomly does it more recently it has been while the kids have been doing their online maths. They would be answering a question and then it would sign them out and go back to the home page?? Weird??
Yes, Safari is the Internet browser. Click on a Safari page, go to the upper, left-hand corner, click on Safari, select About Safari, and post the information. On my Snow Leopard machine, I'm running Version 5.0.5 (6533.21.1).

I cannot open my apps on my iPod touch 4th generation. Every time I try to open an app it sends me back to the app selection thing.

Try a hard reset first. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If still no luck, try downloading and installing a new app from the App Store. Doing so has cleared the issue up for several users.

How do I go back to the previous page if the app dosen't have a back button?

In iOS we can go to the previous activity of an app by swiping from left to right of the screen. In FireFox OS is there any way to go to the previous page of an app?

Hello,
Depending on the app it should have its own back button. Could you let me know which app you are having trouble with?
I've attached a screenshot of the Settings app in Firefox OS. The screen shows the Sound settings page. If you wanted to go back to the main screen of the Settings app you would click on the back button in the top left hand corner. It looks like this: <
Some apps (e.g. from the adaptive app search screen) may not have a back button built into the app itself. In that case you can access a back button from the navigation bar at the bottom.
I've attached another screenshot from the IMDB app. Here I have accessed the 'Breaking Bad' page. If I want to return to the previous screen I can swipe up from off the screen over the orange button in the bottom right hand corner. It looks like this: ᶺ
Then the navigation bar will appear (see my 3rd screenshot). The back button is on the far left side of the navigation bar. It looks like this: ←
I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

Is it possible to create a button which goes back to the previous page?

I would like to create a button which sits within a interactive pdf page that on click will return me to my previously visited page.
As the page will be able to be accessed via numerous other pages the traditional built in Execute menu action is not suitable.
The page which will be displayed (on click of a button) is a series of mattress sizes which i want to be accessable by each bed product in our collection. Once the user has looked at the mattress size guide i want them to be able to return to the bed product that they were looking at originally, without having to then scroll and search.
Is this possible with some javascript trickery?
i found this script:
history.go(-1);
But allas acrobat was not fond of it.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks in advance.

PDFs are not HTML documents. HTML has no concept of a physical page and PDF only knows a page canvas.
You can access the page number property of the doc object and you can set the page number of the page number of the doc object. The page number in Acrobat JavaScript is zero base, the first page is 0.
To get the page number one uses the following code:
this.pageNum;
To set the page number one uses:
this.pageNum = 0; // goto first page
To goto the next page:
this.pageNum = this.pageNum++ // increment the page number and goto that page
To goto the last page:
this.pageNum = this.numPages--; // decrement the total number of pages
To goto the previous page:
this.pageNum = this.pageNum--; // decrement the page number

Safari will automatically send me back to the previous page
