    Internet Explorer 8 Back button not working

    Some sites block the return to the previous page. In this case, the arrow to the left which is at the top left in IE or Firefox can still be clicked, but does not result. This is very annoying when doing research on the internet. Sometimes it works by double-clicking, but sometimes it does not work at all. why the Internet Explorer 8 Back button is not working please help.

    Hello, this blockage is not always voluntary on the part of the site designers (it rarely, if ever, will prevent you from going back), and is easily resolved. Sometimes a page will redirect you to another. When you "back", you fall on the page that redirects you immediately, so you have the impression that nothing happens.

    To circumvent the problem: instead of clicking the back button, click the small black arrow down which is just beside the back button. Here, the browser will place the list of page views. Instead click on the highest in the list (if you do that, it's as if you clicked on "previous"), click on it just below. You arrive at the penultimate page, and you bypass the page that redirects you.

    Resetting Internet Explorer's settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot be recovered. Rather than resetting everything, you might want to reset specific settings or delete your webpage history. So it is adivisible to change only the settings which you need and not the entire settings until there seems not other solution to this problem.
