I get multiple instances of the same page when I try to use the back button. For example, I do a search on Bing and then press the back button to go back a single page and nothing happens. Holding the back button down to see the history it shows multiple instances that I have to go back just to get back one page. Why?

This doesn't happen on any other browser, just on Firefox.

I get around this by; When I find a link I want to check out, I open it in a new tab/window. Then when I am done, I close it and am back where I started.
