How do I get back to INBOX after reading an email?

When I click on an email and finish reading it and want to get back to my INBOX - the bar at the top does not show my INBOX. Instead I have to click on the top left arrow to scroll to the INBOX. This is HORRIBLY time consuming. How can I just simply get back to my INBOX? Thanks!

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.

If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". We might have an answer for you if we knew which web mail service provider this problem is with. Or, you could seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

Unless you are using Thunderbird .... and posted in the Firefox support forum by mistake.

These were unhelpful answers. I often cannot get back to INBOX from elsewhere in Thunderbird (not in webmail) and have to close the program to start afresh. Surely there is a straightforward way of getting to Inbox which I dont know about and cannot find? I did not select Firefox, I selected Thunderbird, so I presume I am in the right place for Thunderbird.
