"back" button total failure

The back button does NOT work when using the Adobe stock website.

99.9% of the time it brings you back to either the page you were on 10 pages ago, or it brings you in a loop back and forth between a few pages (none of which are the one you want), and the WORST is when it brings you basically back to the Adobe Stock homepage. It looks like it should still be searching for results based on what I input, and yet every single result on the first page is not even remotely relevant. So NOW I have no way to go back and find the image I want to find..... How does a 'Back' button not work in 2019?!?!?! And repeatedly, consistently NOT working.... It's BEYOND frustrating, and the only remedy is to just open absolutely every click in a new tab or window, which is absurd. This is more than a bug - this is just a website completely failing to work.

100% agree ... there's no need for you to provide feedback to adobe team. Just search for something, start browsing, then use the back button in any browser. Doesn;t work -- keeps you on the page. Now you need to do a whole new search and go looking for something you passed while browsing... this is basic stuff -- they have to know about it but can;t figure out what to do

3 Months after the last post, now in 2024, this is STILL an issue. I thought I was going crazy for a while and it is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that one of the largest enterprises in the world can't provide a service where a simple action such as using your browser's back button works! Apparetnly this has been an issue for several YEARS! Surely this issue could have been addressed within all the time that has passed from it initially being raised. Why are you IGNORING your user community Adobe!? We pay well to use your servcies you should care to provide functional services for your users. This problem is affecting millions of users, what will it take to get action on this!

Totally Agree! It's way past time for an answer to this! I still use it daily and my "solution/work-around" is to open 20-50 windows.

Yes, this is an awful browsing/search experience that desperately needs addressed - Chrome and Firefox are my primary browsers. Same problem in both browsers.

Providing us one example user case failure will certainly help us to investigate for further analysis.

Thank you,

I have exactly the same issue and it's a terribly inefficient waste of time. I was googling the issue which is what brought me here. Looks like I'm not alone. If my client didn't have an account for images I wouldn't use Adobe stock for this reason alone. The back button never brings me to the previous page. Even if I choose a previous page to go to, it brings me way back to the very first search item I entered. I don't want to click on "similar images" because then I will lose my place for sure. Using Firefox.
