The back button does not work in Hotmail. Is there a fix or must I return to IE?

How can I get the back button to work in Hotmail? (It works fine in IE7). After searching for particular mail to read or delete I want to go back to the search items but the back button is disabled in Firefox so I have to go back to the Inbox and reseach for every item. Infuriating!

Same issue - MS Vista, Firefox 3.6.3. Just confirmed that IE8 does NOT have the issue.

But I REALLY don't want to go back to IE....

Same problem. Suspect it's evil Microsoft trying to get you back to IE. Any known fix??
