The home page short cut with the little house on it is gone with Firefox 4. You can only go home with the History feature or reload the page from desktop shortcut. A big shortcoming in my opinion.
Hey guys..you used to have a home page shortcut on your toolbar in the past. A little picture of a "house" Now it is gone, gone. The only way I can get to the start page is with the "History" tool or going back to the icon on my desktop. Right now, I would rather go back to the older Firefox that had a Home page short cut.

Even now...the only way I could get to the home page was to find your shortcut on my desktop shortcuts. It should be restored to the tool bar. Please do this.
Hi Larry762
Try the following:
Right Click on your toolbar and select customise
If the home button isn't already on a toolbar hopefully the icon is located in customise toolbar window, if it's there click and drag it to your preferred toolbar location.
Hope that helps.
The "Home" button was moved to the right-side of the Navigation Toolbar.
The "Reload" and "Stop" button are on right-side of the Location bar, combined into the same space as the "Go" button; whichever button is appropriate at any time is what is displayed. The "Go"button when you are typing in the Location bar, the "Stop" button when a page is loading, and the "Reload" button when a page is fully loaded.
If you want any or all of those buttons in their former location, as they were in Firefox 3.6, you can Customize your Toolbars and put them where you want them.

Thanks to the edmeister...I now know where the home button is. thanks so much.
But why would they move it in the first place? Especially way to the right, a place where the eye doesn't naturally go to? Are they saying that the home button as we knew it really isn't that useful, and we should be thinking about it differently? That is was just wasted real estate?
I agree DThompson55. I have a large screen and it is a long trip from the left or middle of the screen to that little tiny house in a weird spot. I have been using FF for a few days not and still HATE it. I am going back to an older version - just because of that!
Hey everyone...guess I am happy with the home button on the right. I don't intend on rearranging because I am now cool with going to the right.
I have this problem too-BUT I do NOT see that house icon anywhere and itis NOT an option in customize. I just want to know in idiots terms how to put it up there where I can see it - and - I also can't put the tabs I use daily. on top of the browser so all I have to do is just click on them and pow I am there- I USE to be able to with the older version, this one all I can do is look at tabs. no other choices.
