If the site has changed addresses on a page, and then 
created automatic, instant forwarding from the old page 
to the new page, that would create what you're describing. 
It can be very frustrating! Sometimes, if you click "real 
fast, many times" you can get that back button to work. 
Or you can use the History function to move to the page 
you want.
