but it does not happen with Internet Explorer.

1. Run R-GNU and choose Html-help page from help menue.
2. Chooose "Search Engine and Keywords" and type for example the word "variance" 
3. Click on any hyperlink.
4. Click on the "Go Back" button. You will see that the hyperlinks are not
useable anymore.

Actual Results:  
Hyperlinks are not useable any more.

Expected Results:  
I should be able to use the search list hyperlinks as much as I need.

Try that using Internet Explorer
