Where did the BACK command go?

If this was an upgrade from version 3 then these are probably the answers.

The back/forward button were moved to the right hand side to make it "easier" for users based on "studies".

The drop-down arrow was removed, use right-click instead that always worked, or hold left click for a second.

If it was an upgrade from 5.0 to 5.0.1 then you'd already be familiar with that and there are some problems that do cause the arrows to disappear.

You can make Firefox Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6). Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.
