If your back arrow isn't lit, you've opened in a new tab. Look below the URL box: you should see two tabs that look like the tabs on file folders. Each will have a small "circle x" icon; you can click that and close that tab. Then you'll be back at your original, untouched, window.

When you get the "you are about to close two tabs" warning, it's telling you exactly what you're doing: closing the front tab (that you've been reading), and the original tab. Just close the tab, not the browser.

If you have a scrolling mouse, you can "wheel click" links, and they will open in a new tab behind the current tabs. It's very handy. That's how I read forums and news sites. I "wheel click", and the new tabs open in back, so I'm still looking at the main page. When I've opened everything, I close the front tab, which takes me to the first item; close that, and you'll have the next item, etc.

I also agree that the cow thing is stupid, though I've just unchecked the box.

Yeah, I'd rather have the built-in spell check anyway.
