well, I'm using firefox 25 (the alpha version) and the back button works just fine.
I'll bet that firefoxOS has a back button or gesture that works just fine. Now, the discoverability of gestures is a problem, but that's a completely different topic.

The browser app has a back button on Firefox OS, as do a number of applications. But that's specific to that app. There's no global back button in the current design, the way android has and iOS doesn't. That's what people generally mean when they talk about Firefox OS "not having a back button." It affects inter-app workflow but not normal web browsing.
You can try these things out for yourself in the simulator.
