I think that the website people have "fixed" it so one cannot use the back button; found that, at least in netscape, one can use the "go" in the history and select via the "trail". The urls that won't allow the use of the back button has a "0" in front of the listing in the history trail; however, with mozilla, I notice I can just do a lot of clicks on the back button and, so far, it worked. Still don't think much of the programmers who want people to get stuck with their website as the "home" site when paging.
