I have had this problem with IE 11 and PDF files for weeks. Thought I had it fixed for a little while but now it's doing the same extremely annoying thing. I'm running Win 7 Pro 64bit if that has any bearing.
Every time I read a PDF online I can't get IE to go back to the search results or anywhere else. It is stuck on the PDF. Neither the back button on the page nor the back button on my keyboard does any more than make the page flutter a bit. If I close the tab, the entire browser closes. I was using Nitro Pro, then I switched to Adobe Reader to see if Nitro Pro was causing the trouble. Same old thing. I tried opening the very same files with Firefox and it works perfectly. Then I did a total reset of IE 11. Still no help.
Someone please tell me how to fix this extremely annoying behavior.
