My home button disappeared mysteriously from my toolbar. I went to the customize section, but did not find the home button there.

Hi,

As the button can't be found in 'Customize', and I assume that you know that the home button is on the left side of the address bar (used to be on the other side) : let's try Firefox in Safe Mode :

If Firefox is not running : Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.

If Firefox is running : 3-bar menu => ' ? ' (at the bottom of the dropdown) => 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Then OK the restart. A small dialog should appear. Click 'Start in Safe Mode' ( not 'Refresh' !)

Does that bring the button back  ?
