I have seen screen shots of the Firefox mobile browser with forward and back buttons. Was this a feature in earlier versions? Is there any way to add this back in? TIA

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Thanks for the responses. I tried the Gestures app and I agree, not the greatest. I think at this time I will just keep checking back with the latest versions to see if it gets changed, but I have to say I am a bit disappointed with the mobile version interface and will stick with the Samsung default.

Thanks again for the help.

They still have the backward button, but you might have to search for an add-on to restore the forward button. Most mobile browsers have removed a forward button (for whatever reasons.) Good luck!

Perhaps I am missing a setting or something, but i don't see a back button anywhere. I have the return or back button on my phone, but that is not really the same. As far as add-ons go, I've searched and found nothing. Is there any script that can be added to enable one or both? The default browser on my samsung is FAR more functional with the buttons (arrows). I hate to have to abandon Firefox just because of this. Did the earlier versions have the arrows?

Thanks for the help

Because there's so little screen real estate, I think it was designed for the device back button. Forward is in the menu.

I don't see any add-ons which draw in these buttons anywhere. The Quick Gestures extension is interesting, but I'm not sure it's easier for back than the device back button. The L shaped gesture sometimes seems to be missed in my initial attempts.

Only the tablet UI has back and forward buttons. On phones where there is less space for buttons we use the Android back button and place forward in the application menu.
