How to Enable the Back & Forward Buttons on the Toolbar
Internet browsers use "Back" and "Forward" buttons to allow you to navigate through websites you have recently visited. These buttons are usually located in the top left corner of the browser's toolbar. Some browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, have embedded the buttons into the toolbar in a way that they cannot be removed or disabled. However, you can completely configure the toolbars on the Firefox and Safari browser, which may accidentally disable the "Back" and "Forward" buttons.
