When I get ready to leave a web site and return to my home page...there are no backward or forward arrows . When I click on the X in right hand corner it takes me back to the desktop. I only want to return to my home page.

to return to previous website, you can either press backspace or alt+left arrow and to go home, press alt+h

You need to put these icons back on your toolbar. Go to View on the browser menu and select Toolbars and make sure your Standard Toolbar has a chech next to it. If that does not fix the problem go to the same View-Toolbars and select the bottom most selection-Customize. In the cusomize dialog box you can select which buttons you want on your toolbar.
The box on the left has the available buttons you can select from and the right has the ones currently on your toolbar. Look in the right box and see if the forward and back buttons are in the box of currently used buttons. Sometimes when there is a lot of buttons some will not show up as there is only so much room on the toolbar for them all. Usually a chevron will show the hidden buttons (>>) but without the (). When you click on >> the other buttons appear. You can move the ones you want to show by using the "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons. Make sure the back and forward buttons are at the very top.
If they are not in the currently used button section then find them in the available button section and use the move button to put them in the box at the right and then use the move up or down to place them at the top.
Good luck and have a nice day!

Try holding down the Alt Key and pressing the left arrow it should take you back one page. Or hit Alt and Home at the same time to take you to your homepage.

To get that arrow keys follow this steps
Open IE/MOZILLA browser-->view-->Toolbars-->select Navigation toolbars
You will get the basic browser tools ,if you still couldn't get the keys
better you reinstall the browser
One more way is there press alt+left arrow key for backward
alt+right arrow key for forward

Click view at the top of the page, put a checkmark in front of standard buttons, and address bar. That should bring back your back and forward arrows..good luck..

If you want your home page. Make it one of your Favorites and when you want to go to it go to Favorites and click on it and it will take you to your home page. :]
