Something is keeping me from navigating away from yahoo webpages, has this happened to anyone else?

I like Yahoo News, so I go on a lot of their news webpages. Occasionally, when I try to backtrack back to the previous page, I can't. I go and right-click on the 'back' arrow on my browser to bring up my viewing history, and it shows up filled with something called

http://imp.bid.ace.advertising.com/site

Even after pressing the 'Back' button many times and using the shortcut Alt+Left it still will not get me back to my previous page, there are so many instances of this thing that it has removed all my previous pages from history, and so I eventually run into a point where I cannot press the 'Back' button anymore, and yet I am still stuck on this page.

Has this ever happened to anyone? If so, what is causing it?

(By the way, it is very likely that the link is nonexistent)

    Yes, this happens to me quite a lot. Under the list of ads you will see the word History. Click that and the entire menu appears. You then can choose the page you want.
