I have created a little screen scraper and everything seems to be working great, the information is being pulled and saved in a db. The only problem I am having is sometimes Python doesn't use the driver.back() so it then trys to get the information on the wrong page and crashes. I have tried adding a time.sleep(5) but sometimes it still isn't working. I am trying to optimise it to take as little time as possible. So making it sleep for 30 seconds doesn't seem to be a good solution.

navigate(). back(); It is just like pressing the browser's back button. In WebDriver, this method enables the web browser to click on the back button in the existing browser window.
The respective command that takes you forward by one page on the browser's history can be written as: driver. navigate(). forward();
We can type Enter/Return key in Selenium. We shall use the sendKeys method and pass Keys. ENTER as an argument to the method. Also, we can use pass Keys.
This is the best solution. The back() and forward() methods aren't guaranteed to work.
driver.execute_script("window.history.go(-1)") The JavaScript passed in accesses the pages Dom to navigate to the previous url. I hope that this solves your problem.
