Normal stuff

  1. Make sure you're not in Full Screen mode (F11 toggles on/off)
  2. "Alt" will display toolbars, if you see what you want, for toolbars, use View> Toolbars > ... to activate the Navigation Bar
  3. The back/forward buttons may be on the right side of the navigation bar, use Customize to move them back.

Problems:

second possibility

I had to uninstall and reinstall Firefox8 to get my back, forward, current web address in the address bar and the reload buttons to work. I removed everything but the Firefox tool bars and removed all add ons.
