User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130819170952

Steps to reproduce:

Recently my system automatically updated my Firefox - I hadn't set it to, but it did. When I started to use the browser I found that the option to return home from the History drop down menu had gone - this is the only method I use, and it had just disappeared.


Actual results:

When I tried to return to my homepage via the 'History' drop down menu the option was gone suddenly, and can't get it back. Having tried for a while without success, I reverted to a previous version of Firefox.  Now it keeps asking me to update, but I won't do that if the newer versions don't have this option - how do I turn the constant 'there is a new version...' messages off?


Expected results:

I expected one of the choices to be 'Home', but it was missing.

Work around: Press "Alt+Home" on your keyboard.
