Where is the go back button on Safari

I used to be able to click on a button if I am on a web site and it would take me back to the previous page. It is gone. How do I get it back?


Thanks

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Right click on the toolbar in Safari (basically the top where the URL address bar is and you will an option to customise toolbar. Click on that and you will get a pop up window.

There are multiple configuration options but if you drag the 'default toolbar' into the toolbar area of Safari, it will re-add in the refresh and stop buttons.

You will need to close down safari and re-open it for the changes to take effect.

I don't know why it disappeared but it seems to have occurred in the latest software update. Just a little bug I think. This worked for me and it hopefully it should work for you too!

Cheers
