Hi Anna, I really appreciate you posting about this simple fix for the back button problem in Safari. I am a heavy user of Safari on my iPhone in particular, and one of the things that had kept me from even considering upgrading was this issue. Touching the bar in Safari seems like a very simple fix that takes no time at all. Not to say that they should not fix the problem, but this looks like a no-brainer. Mary
