Firefox for Android displays the home screens when you tap the address bar. I don't know whether there is a more direct way to access it.

When I open my browser, it displays my home screen. I then go to whatever sites I want, but then I want to hit the 'home' button to go back to my home screen...the only problem is that there IS no home button. How do I get back to my home screen without having to close my browser and reopen it?

If you do not want any page open, you can close the tab: tap the tabs button, then x out the tab. If it's the last tab, Firefox will show a tab with the home screens.

If you want to keep that page open and start a new tab on the home screen, you can add a tab: tap the tabs button, then tap the + button.

If you want to use the home screen from where you are, you can tap the address bar.

Those are what I know about.

Normally, when you tap the address bar you get the identical* screen that you get when you open a new tab, if you have not set Firefox to show your custom home page on new tabs.

* Except that you can also edit the current page URL.

need a home button

There is no built-in button to navigate the current tab to your home page. You can use a bookmark, or you can open a new tab (assuming you set new tabs to use your custom home page).

Maybe there is an add-on.
