19Jun Where is that darn ‘Back’ button on Firefox 3 ?!?!?!?!?!
Updated : I found the darn buttons! Thanks to Raymond and all the other guys. Wahahaha, I was the blind one. You can find the step by step on how to add the back button on Firefox 3 here.
This is driving me nuts! I am not sure if I missed something somewhere but on the toolbar on Firefox 3 new release which I downloaded this morning, I cannot find the DARN BACK BUTTON!
Many pages usually open on the same page and I need to go back, darn it! So, what do I do now? I have to go to History and trace my steps back. Can you believe this?
I did a bit of Googling and someone on Techcrunch also asked the same question. Where is the back button on Firefox 3?
However, I notice we can scroll so much smoother and faster on Firefox 3.
Pardon the short fuse because when my Sony Vaio broke down, all my passwords went with it. Now, I have to retrieve passwords and I am getting sick of ‘Forget Password’ because the mails go to several different emails and I cannot remember the email passwords. Which means, I have to Forget Passwords on the emails as well. Bah!
Tell me where is the back button on Firefox 3, please?

Right click on the refresh button area, then click customize.. From there, you should be able to see the back/forward buttons, drag it to where you want the buttons to be. Hope this helps, but I didn’t encounter this problem with mine.

Customize Toolbar should contain all buttons, so just drag/drop missing one. (right click on empty size in line with menu, and then click on customize)

back button= press ALT + left cursor.
or
back button= press backspace
and
forward = press ALT + right cursor.

The small arrow (pointing downward) on the right of the Forward button is the history button. Click on it, then you’ll see the history of the tab, both back and forward history also will be shown.

5x Mom’s Firefox 3 is the iMac version, so I guess the ALT+whatever keystrokes don’t work. I wanted to ask 5x go open eye big big look at the top left corner of the screen look for the big fat GREEN button under the Menu, but after seeing her version and remembering her Sony Vaio died last week, I decided to shut up ler…

I installed FF3 on full of computers and have installed it on my parents and the BACK and FORWARD buttons are also missing.
When I go to customize like mentioned above, they are there but are greyed out and unusable.
Since FF2 didnt have this problem, back to the future we go.

Hi, I just wonder, why was firefox 3.0.1 installed under xp with green back/fwd-buttons, green plus1tab and a yellow home-button, and on the same day on an other pc under Vista it was installed with buttons in blue. I rather would like to see the buttons everywhere in green.
