When I want to go back a few pages (esp on Ebay), firefox requires that I "resend" information, making me do extra clicks to do that. Any way to stop it?
I click the back arrow. A window appears saying Firefox has to resent information and do I want it to. I have to click "resend". It goes back one page. Then if I want to go back another page, another two clicks. Every page requires two clicks: the back arrow and "resend"

You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a POST form.
The only way that Firefox can make sure to get the same page is by resending that POST form.
Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.
The only way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click.
Then you can close that tab or window to go back.
