I usually use the back button of my browser to return to the previous index after reading a thread. But the site is loading every page four times.

I can't say I'm having this problem. Anyone else?

I had trouble a few days ago with the site redirecting me to some weird spam site saying i had a virus but its stopped doing it now.
Not had the problem described in this thread though

Hmm, well for reference, I'm using Firefox 57.0.2 on Windows 10.

All is fine on my end.

I tried it in Chrome and didn't have the same issue, so I guess it's specific to Firefox. Any other Firefox users on here?

Same version of Firefox, but on Win 7. No issues.
I am running adblock and noscript, so it might be something else on the page causing Firefox to want to refresh. One of the main reasons I use both is that Firefox has historically been awful at handling background elements failing to load - without such pleasures at work, there are versions of Firefox that have locked up on certain websites until a random dependency gets its backside in gear. Then it'll be fine after a Firefox update, and broken again a few versions later.
Firefox has been on a downward trend in the last few years (really feeling it now classic theme restorer is gone) but every other browser I've tried has been worse. Race to the bottom!

Firefox settled down for a while, but now it's up to some more weirdness for me with 58.0.2. Here's the latest strange behavior.
Starting from the Main Index > Site Discussion > Why Does...? thread.
When I hit the back button repeatedly to get back to the Main Index, this is what happens
Why Does...? < Site Discussion < Why Does...? < Site Discussion < Main
I'm not sure if this is useful information to anyone, but I'm bemused by the strange behavior.

Yeah I get that too on Firefox (albeit Android). Looks like a bug with back/forward on the browser, I've had it completely lose the ability to go forward after going back as well (on other sites).
