    the blaze.com web site will cause firefox to hang up if i try
    the "back" arrow symbol.

    Have had this problem since version 26 (to current) of
    firefox. This site is updated several times a day

    Initially, the site will load just fine, and after clicking on a link
    to an article i want to read, its fine also but trying to return to
    the home site using the back arrow mostly firefox will hang up.

    Anyone else having this problem with "theblaze.com" site?

    Its the only site giving this problem that I'm aware of.

    PS: IE works just fine on this site.

    I have Firefox 27, and I had no problem backtracking from the site with the browser's back arrow, or the backspace key on my keyboard.

    There have been times when the browser's back arrow would not work on specific sites, and I remedied that by holding the back arrow down with my mouse and clicking on a previously visited site via a drop-down menu. Will that last option work for you?

    Works OK for me with W8.1 and FF 27.0.1. I can view info on pages and go Back and Forward without problems. Neil.

    Looks like the new profile fixed the problem, time will tell.

    i got the booksmarks restored from a backup file but i guess the passwords cannot be done??

    thanks for the help,
