Wot and using 'Back' Button in Firefox

Well, this is probably a newbie question, but when I navigate from a page the Wot 'Loading Page' dialogue shows up then takes me to the desired page - but If I decide to use the 'back' button, It just takes me back to to the Wot dialogue. If I want to see the previous page I then have to refresh.

Is there any option to make Wot automatically refresh the page when using the 'Back' button?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Re: Wot and using 'Back' Button in Firefox

The "loading" page isn't added to browser history, so you shouldn't end up there when using the back button. Which version of Firefox are you using?

oh, im using firefox 3 beta

oh, im using firefox 3 beta 5

Re: oh, im using firefox 3 beta

I'm using the same version, but haven't been able to reproduce the problem. Are you using any other extensions that might interfere with WOT?

FF 3 B5

I'm using the same, and haven't had that problem. If it persists, there is a good work-around. On FF3, there is a teeny little triangle right between the Forward button and the Reload button. Click on that, and your last 10-12 visited pages will appear, Just click on the one you wanted. It's a handy feature for when you've had to page down 6-8 pages to get somewhere, and don't want to page back and back, and back....to get 'home'.
Not many people have even noticed it, or tried it.

thank for the idea, I have been trying that but I still sometimes get stuck on the Wot dialog on some pages...hmm, I tried messing about with firefox's settings but I still have had no luck.

Another thing I have a query about, is there a way to stop Wot from reloading a tab? Lets say i go to some website for research, then open a new tab and do whatever - when i go back to the research tab Wot reloads the page. How can I stop this?

Thanks for your help so far!

Are you sure you want to have blocking enabled? Turning it off from the add-on settings would solve both problems. If you prefer to keep blocking enabled, the only way to stop the add-on from reloading the page after ratings have expired is to disable it (right click the toolbar button -> Enabled).
