The Conan's answer helped me with the same issue. 2Conan - make your comment as an answer. It helps with TS issue. Just for sure posting his answer here ...

OK, you can do this. Turn the toolbar on, with View > Toolbar. Right click it, and choose Customize Menus and Toolbars. In the Navigation Bar Toolbar folder, add the icons from Main menu > Navigate > Back / Forward, choose OK, then go and turn off the toolbar with View > Toolbar again.

Answer 6

I am using Idea 13 and my toolbar already has these buttons:

The icon groups are:

file | undo/redo | cut/copy/paste | font size | back/forward | compile/run | vcs | config | help | jira | tasks

You should be looking at the back/forward buttons in the 5th group.

If you want to make the toolbar visible, it's one of the checkable options on the view menu.
