I do not have a back arrow or forward arrow on my Firefox page. How do I fix that? I am not able to go back and forth between pages on the same website.

What is this Firefox page?

Note that some built-in Firefox pages hide the Navigation Toolbar.

It is also possible that you opened a pop-up window with some toolbars hidden. If that is the case then try to open a new window to see if that has all the toolbars.

You can use one of these to set which toolbars to show.

  • Firefox menu button > Options/Preferences
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

I followed the suggestion to go to View>Toolbar and saw that the Navigation toolbar was not activated. When I chose it, I got the back/forward arrow and the home icon. Thanks
