How to Restore the Back Button on Mozilla Firefox
The "Back" arrow button has become a staple of all Web browsers, including Firefox, allowing Internet surfers to backtrack to their previously visited pages. If you have tinkered with Firefox's basic settings, you may have lost this valuable button at the top of your window. Firefox does include options to help you restore it. Use the toolbar controls to un-hide the "Back" button. If that fails, Firefox also includes a toolbar restoration feature that recovers the button.
