How do I make the Home icon accessible?

I have not found a way under managing Taskbars to make the Home icon available. Since I use a series of meteorological websites as my home page, I need to constantly refer back to it.

As is, I have to do numerous back-pages.

I'm afraid I'm working on a 'puter that still has 3.6.x on it so I'm not looking at F4 right now, but my spouse had the same question this morning. At the far right on your tab bar, isn't there a little house symbol? I believe that is the Home page icon. HTH.

So, the problem is that you can't see the home button on you're browser?

That's correct. I do not see the Home, Back or Reload icons on any taskbar.

I have tried uninstalling Ver. 4 and reinstalling it, but the display remains the same.

Red Sonya!

I'd looked EVERYWHERE except to the RIGHT!

Why did Mozilla put the Home icon there, I wonder?! "Different" isn't necessarily "better."

Thanks for solving the mystery, John

Now... Where are the Back and Reload Page icons?

Thanks, John

Firefox 4 no longer shows a Reload and Stop button on the Navigation Toolbar, but has a button on the right end of location that shows the different states. During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button. If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
You can middle-click that Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.

To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:

  • Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
  • Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
  • Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
  • Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.
