You could be clearer about which browser has the problematic behavior,
where the back button is taking the user, and why it isn't useful. 

IE and Firefox handle "back button after redirect" differently. Firefox
will skip over the the redirecting page (which I prefer), but IE will
take you back the redirect page. That's annoying, because it just
'forwards' you back the future. 

For an example of the difference, try the pet search on the C::A driven
site:

http://www.1-800-save-a-pet.com/

There is a 'waiting page' after you search. One you are on the results
page, 'Back' in Firefox will skip over the waiting page, but IE will
take you to it.
