Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 426026

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Nicolas Raoul]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5

I just installed Firefox3 and there is no "Back" button. I can see on reviews that most people have a big green back button, but I have none :-(

When I click on "View > Toolbars > Customize", the back button is not available, so I guessed it was in fact hidden somewhere.

Before installing Firefox3, I used Firefox2. Years ago I had modified the toolbars in a way many people like (to have more browsing estate):
- Remove navigation and bookmarks toolbar,
- Put the menus and icons on the sides of the URL bar.

Indeed, I found the big green back button in Firefox3's navigation toolbar, which was hidden as I explained.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: The back button should be at the same place as configured, no reason to move it back to the navigation toolbar.

This is a widespread problem. Even though it is only a beta, many users already complain on blogs about this problem: http://www.google.com/search?q=firefox3+%22no+back+button%22 and none found the solution.

Thanks !
Nicolas Raoul.
