For example, at https://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/features "Top" will get you to the site front page, https://www.seamonkey-project.org/, and "Up" will go to the documentation section, https://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/. At the front/home page, the atom news feed will be under "Subscribe". Some webforums and content management systems will also have information that shows up in the Website Navigation Toolbar, for example, WordPress shows "Next" and "Previous" to navigate between posts: https://blog.seamonkey-project.org/2020/07/07/seamonkey-2-53-3-has-been-released/ -- Nuno Silva ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

DoctorBill Don't know how updated it is, but have you tried using Help > Help Contents from the Menu Bar? "The Navigation Toolbar, pictured here, helps you move around the Web." The pictured image is using the SeaMonkey Modern theme, but you can get the idea. -- OS: Ubuntu Linux 18.04LTS - Gnome Desktop https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/get-involved/ https://give.thunderbird.net/en-US/ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

A web page can have certain metadata that identifies other pages to which the user might want to navigate, named as in the list you quoted. This might be useful, eg, for an online manual. According to the metadata available in the page being shown, the browser will enable the corresponding toolbar buttons. This is a feature from the 90s that's not much used now, as developers prefer to ship megabytes of buggy JavaScript to achieve the same thing.
