Back to start over and over
It is vety frustrating to do searches because when you click onto a possible source, but find it isn't the right one, when you use the back arrow to go back to the list, it takes you all the way back to the beginning of the list. You are starting over every time, wasting time scrolling down through the whole list again to find where you were. After several times of that I'm frustrated and give up searching because it is more time scrolling down through the same documents than looking at them. Very frustrating.

Suggestion: everywhere on FamilySearch's website, get into the habit of always first trying a right-click (or your OS's equivalent). If it works, that is, you get your browser's link menu, choose "open link in new tab". If the right-click doesn't work, i.e. you get your browser's navigation menu (usually starting with back/forward/reload), then you'll know that the element you clicked on is acting like a button. Buttons on FS most often open a popup or sidebar, although some of them open a new tab, and unfortunately, some of them hijack your current page. The "attached to Family Tree" button on search results lists is one of the latter, so it's best to learn never to click that.
Specific to the Search - Records results list, have you tried clicking either the name or the background of the result that interests you? By "background", I mean the part that turns grey if you move your cursor over the result. Clicking either of these (numbered 1 and 2 in the screenshot below) will open a sidebar with a summary of the detail page for that result.
Numbers 3, 4, and 5 ("profile hint exists", "image", and "index detail") each act like links: a standard (left-) click hijacks your page, replacing it with Source Linker, the image, or the index detail page, respectively, while a right-click will allow you to open those targets in a new tab instead.
Number 6 is the "problem child": left-click hijacks your page with the Family Tree profile, and right-click doesn't work. So don't click it unless you're done with your searching. Instead, open the sidebar (number 1 or 2); it will have the name, dates, and ID at the bottom. If you need to look at the profile, you can right-click the name and choose "new tab".
I'm not sure what the intention is with having both the name and the background do the same thing, and I think it's newish behavior, but I'm so used to right-clicking on FS that I can't be certain of anything to do with left-clicking. :-)
