The general consensus on user experience with multi-page-lists is as follows:

You look through a list in order to find either one, or multiple items.

 
  • If you want multiple items, open them in multiple windows/tabs.

    If you want multiple items, open them in multiple windows/tabs.

     
  • If you want only one, why do you want to go back to the point in the list at which you were before?

    If you want only one, why do you want to go back to the point in the list at which you were before?

So, the "solution" to your problem is more or less to do as is assumed and use the tabs features. Open a new tab for every question you want to read, rather than using the tab in which you have the list opened.

As Eliah pointed out in a comment, excellent choices for speedy tab-opening are MOUSE2 (a.k.a. Middle Mouse Button) and Ctrl+MOUSE0 (a.k.a. Mouse Click).

That way, you retain the tab with the list and don't need to go back and you get your question opened.

A slight side note: Using the Back button is largely discouraged nowadays, due to dynamic content and forms. When going back, you reload a page that you should not get to in this direction. Thus, some pages may work, others may not. Sometimes the browser warns you, sometimes it just tells you "Nope."

Simply put: Don't use it. If you want to go back to some earlier point regularly, keep that point in a tab.
