Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

• If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
• If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
• If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Do you mean arrows of a website or arrows that have been added by an extension?

I do not understand your question...this is what has happened...you know when you forward something or reply to someon you email then has a little gray arrow...and when you look at you in box you can see if you have responded...well, that is gone..I reply..it goes thru...but on my inbox it does not indicate that anything has happened...

These are not arrows of a website or arrows of an extension..they are just THOSE TOTALLY INSIGNIFICANT ARROWS THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE BEFORE..

Did you try the suggestions provided in my previous post ??

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast (Option-Control-Command-8).

• Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

I checked all that you said and it is all in order...it is and was like you said it sould be..I never had this problem before...I do not delve into changing things...

try Cor-el's suggestions

I did those things but I am not sure...due to what Cor-el said that my problem was understood...I do not know what extensions are so I did most of that stuff...

I also do not get those purple boxes telling you that an email is new...that whole long column is always blank...no squares, no arrows..

little purple boxes and arrows have returned..mystery...thanks...it MUST have been something you suggested...I cleared all history...etc.

Can you attach a screenshot?
