Not able to go back in Firefox 139 (lemmy.world)

Is anyone else having an issue of the back button being greyed out after clicking a link?

I will do a google search, click on a site, then I have to redo the search as I can't go back? It may be happening on other sites, but I am especially noticing it after google searches.

I use the google container, and it behaves like this deliberately. If you click on a link on a google page it opens that page outside of the google container. Try to disable/reinstall container related addons

The only container I have installed is Firefox Multi-Account Containers(FMAC), but that is a container. So the impression I am getting from your reply is that google is "working as google intended" kind of thing. Is this understanding correct? I'd really like to avoid having to re-setup the FMAC addon.

Disable anything container related to see if this is the reason. If it behaves differently without containers, you will know that you have to search in this direction.

Ok. I tested it it worked. And now it "seems" to be working with the FMAC re-enabled.

Thanks.
