If the backspace key, and your browser Goback one page icon do not work,
then it would appear the 'system' is probably mucking around with the
history stack via javascript.

You can try
- disabling javascript
- drill-down using a 'modified click'.  In many browsers, Ctrl-click follows
a link, but always opens the destination in a new window or new tab --
leaving the original page alone.

If you are tasked with modifying the said system, figure out why it was
initially designed to make it not possible to drill up.
