    Hi,
    This may sound daft but the back arrow seems to be stuck.Top left of the screen in internet browser.

    I have to press it a few times before it will budge. Any idea how to fix this super annoying problem please?

    Is it just one internet site? Some web pages are very stubborn about letting you go back - it's usually not the browser, its the content.

    Test it on your browser, put the mouse pointer over a blank part of the web page, then right-click and select 'back' from the popup menu.

    check your keyboard for any stuck buttons.
    and your mouse if you have side buttons on it.

    Most browsers support Alt & leftarrow key for the Back function.

    Yup, sometimes the previous page is a redirect to the current page, so you actually want to go back 2 pages. In many browsers you can click and hold the back button and a history appears and you just go back 2 pages as opposed to 1 page.

    is it google chrome your using?

    that is a well known bug with google chrome. http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/scMG6ywbQFE

    download firefox and use that instead. google chrome relays all your usage data back to google anyways.
