Possibly because you're hitting Home instead by accident.

Other than that, I can't help.

You have rebooted and it's still doing it?

No idea then. Sorry I can't be of any help. I've never had that happen.

 

[Mrs Christophe]

thanks anyway.....going to try rebooting one more time just for shits and giggles.......

Does it do this on all sites, or just a few?

Does it take you to your home page, or the home page of the site?

If it only happens on some sites and takes youto the home page of the site, then it's probably a site that uses frames. With Frames, a site controls the content of each frame without changing the URL your browser is displaying. Trying to refresh a frame refreshes the base page instead nd returns you to the "home" starting point of the framed site.
