What do I do to go back one page in a website?

more options

I go to a website. Any time I go to a different area in the website, I can't find what to click on to return to the previous page. IE is very simple because it shows an arrow pointing to the left.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.

  • Firefox menu button > Options
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

The above post should cover the toolbar angle. You also can use these keyboard shortcuts:

  • Back = Alt+ LeftArrow
  • Back = Backspace (when not in a text editing field)
  • Forward = Alt + RightArrow
