Do you mean the home button on the browser that you click on to get to your starting home page?

If so:

If you have the large orange firefox button in the upper left:

  • right-click on the tab toolbar somewhere that you have no tabs (like over the new tab button). Choose the "customize" option from the menu.

If you have the traditional file/edit/view/etc. menu:

  • Go to the view menu, and move your mouse over "tool bars" then click on "customize".


If you see the home button in that window that comes up, click on it and drag it onto your tool bar where you want it to be.

If it's not there, then you want to go back to the view menu, or right click on the toolbar again, and click on each tool bar that does NOT have a black check-mark by it. look for the button on the opened toolbars (you can make them go away again by clicking on them in the view menu a 2nd time). If you find the button and it's not where you want it, go back to the view menu and pick customize. Then click and drag the house button where you do want it.
