Just downloaded Firefox 4 and seem to be missing the "house" icon, you know, the icon on toolbar that I can click on to return to homepage. Where is it, I'd like it back.

I use 4.0 also on 1 computer. The home button on my screen is all the way to the right past the address and search bar. At least thats where it is on mine.

Right-click on the toolbar and choose "customize", there should be a home icon there for you to drag on to the toolbar.

Yes, you're right. I just noticed it there. Why would it be all the way on the right?. That's the last place I looked!...lol*

Okay, I've put it back on left where it was. Now how do I change its colour. It was yellow in previous Firefox version. If I can easily change color, then perhaps a nice pastel shade of green or blue would be pleasing on the eye.

There is no home icon on the customize drop down box.

There is absolutely no logical reason to place the home menu over by itself. Stupid.

How did you do that? It's not an available icon under "customize".

@ TomB - When 'customize is up the pointer turns into a hand. Move that up to the Home icon and 'drag' the icon to where it was on previous version of Firefox, or to where you want it located.

My gripe now is that it's black/gray and I'd like to restore it to yellow.
