I don't know that there is a way to prevent your browser from being "captured" by a website, but you can circumvent it. In IE, there is a small, black arrow next to the back button. Clicking on it will drop down a list of previously viewed sites. Click on the name of the site you wish to return to.

Alternatively, you could switch to a tabbed browser such as Firefox which will let you open links in separate tabs which can be closed independantly.

There are two ways this can happen. In case A, the web site you browse quickly redirects you to another page, so that when you hit "back" you go to the first page which then redirects you again to the second. So you appear to be trapped. In this case, you can click "back" several times in a row, fast enough so that the redirect doesn't have time to kick in, or just drop down the history list and go directly to a page outside the "trapping" site.

The other case is when the browser erases your history via javascript, so that your browser no longer know what site to go to when you hit "back". This is what appears to happen, since you say that your "back" button is disabled (actually it's not, it's just that there is no history to go back to). In this case, there is little you can do other than disable javascript or avoid the site that erases your history. You can also try to use a different browser, as some may have policies in place to prevent a site from deleting your browsing history.

Explain why implementing synchronization primitives by disabling interrupts is not appropriate in a single-processor system if the synchronization primitives are to be used in user-level programs?

Interrupts are not sufficient in multiprocessor systems since disabling inter rupts only prevents other processes from executing on the processor in which inter rupts were disabled; there are no limitations on what processes could be executing on other processors and therefore the process disabling interrupts cannot guarantee mutually exclusive access to program state.
