# Plugin breaks the browsers back button

 * I’m embedding zoho forms in an iframe using your popup builder plugin, and the
   popups are set to open on button class click. All that is working fine. The problem
   is that the browser interprets the iframe or popup loading as a separate browsing
   event, which means that when I press back nothing happens at all. In order to
   actually go back, I have to click the back button several times. Here’s an image
   of the back button on long press (shows recent pages browsed): [https://ibb.co/XzgRsCL](https://ibb.co/XzgRsCL)
 * Sometimes the problem doesn’t happen at all and the back button works fine, some
   times it’s like my screenshot, and sometimes there will be 10 or 20 of the same
   page in a row, meaning you’d have to click the back button 10-20 times to actually
   go back 1 single page.
 * This issue is well described as the second block of text on this page (as the
   accepted solution): [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975037](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975037)
   However there is no actual solution given or known. I deactivate the popup builder
   software and the problem immediately goes away. I turn off site caching and disable
   caching plugin but there is no effect. Do you know of any solution?

 * Go and browse around to the store, click on some products, click some different
   pages on the menu etc, then long-press your back button and you’ll see the problem.
   Then click back and you’ll see that it won’t go back with a single click like
   it’s supposed to.
 * I also want to add that I tried disabling ALL pluguns except yours on our DEV
   site, and the issue still occurs.

 * Dear [@earth_human](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earth_human/),
 * Thank you for your time.
    Unfortunately, the tech team could not reproduce the
   issue testing over the past couple of days. We assume that the issue might be
   with your server.
