Why has the "Reload current page" control been moved to the navigation bar Firefox 29? I would like to be able to place it where I had it in Firefox 28.

After getting the Firefox 29 download I tried to rearrange my buttons\controls to where I was used to having them in Firefox 28 and prior. I noticed, in particular, that the "Reload current page" control is no longer available to be set in front of the navigation bar where I've had it for years now. The reason I chose Firefox in the first place was because I could customize it to my liking. I know you can simply right click and "Reload" the tab or just get used to going to the end (right side) of the navigation bar but that defeats the purpose completely for me.
Here's an analogy; Ford decides they will now replace current model cars in the US with British standard style vehicles. Every car sold by Ford will now be right-hand steer. While this may seem like a "no biggy" to some, others, especially those of us who are inclined to drive standard transmission vehicles, may be a bit resistant to that change. Not sure if I successfully made my point or not but hopefully I did.
Initially I thought I'd start by "Has someone fallen and hit their head?' or "Did Steve Ballmer suddenly take over Mozilla, in particular the build of Firefox 29, because this one smells like a Windows 8 (aka the aroma of a full sewer tank on a hot day)?" It is understood that updates are required and as an IT guy, I've been around for many a faux pas where the kinks just need to be worked out. They happen. Maybe some consideration will be made with Firefox 30 to those of us in the states that are used to left-hand steer vehicles.
I may be missing something here, and will gladly fall on my sword if that is the case, but there is no indication that I've seen from the Mozilla sight that the "Reload current page" control can be manipulated in any way as of Firefox 29. On the bright side, I now have a good reason to go back and review some of the browsers I discounted back in the day when I decided to go with Firefox.

As far as I know, [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ the Classic Theme Restorer add-on] is the only way move the Reload button outside the address bar.
# Install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] and restart Firefox when prompted.
# Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
# Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
# On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
# Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
# Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
# Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.
That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.
* Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
* Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
* Press F5.
* Press Ctrl+R (Mac: Command+R).

  • When opening a pdf in Firefox from a website, the navigation bar disappears. I would like to copy the URL path to send to staff.

    Using Acrobat Pro XI, Windows 7-64, Firefox 25. If I open a PDF from a website link in IE, the PDF opens and I can see the URL path where I can copy it and send to others. Opening the same link in Firefox does not show the URL path. I get the File, Edit menu but no URL.

    Is the PDF opening in a separate (popup) window? Sites can alter which bars appear on a popup window, but the address bar should always be visible (that's the default setting). Could you check and make sure that hasn't changed?
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''window_o''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) If the '''dom.disable_window_open_feature.<u>location</u>''' preference is bolded and "user set" to false, double-click it to switch it back to true so sites are disabled from hiding the location (address) bar on popup windows.

  • "Reload current page/Stop loading current page" seems to be missing from Navigation Bar customization. How do I get it back?

    I am loading Firefox on a new computer, and I can't find the Navigation Bar button for "Reload current page/Stop loading current page". Is there any way to get it back as a choice under Navigation Bar customization or to create a new function? CTRL-R used to work for this function, but I'd like to have the button on the Navigation Bar.

    View Page Source has been moved to the "Web Developer" sub-menu. You can use any of the following to View Page Source:
    *CTRL+U
    *Right-click a blank area of the page and choose "View Page Source"
    *Firefox button > Web Developer > View Page Source
    *Using the Menu Bar: Tools > Web Developer > Page Source
    *ALT+T+W, release ALT key, letter O key

  • Why has the navigator app disappeared from my droid?

    This forum is ridiculous.  I have a simple question but have to jump thru hoops just to put it up.  my local app and my navigator app has disappeared from all our droid phones.  whats up with that?

    The VZW navigator app or the Google Maps and Navigation app?
    Google released a version of Maps and incorporated their Navigation app into the main Maps application.
    Not sure about the VZW navigator app though.
    Both application have had recent discussions created about them and could have been located through a search of the community forum.

  • Need the navigation bar and logo to remain still

    Hello everyone,
    I am creating a prototype for an app and my problem is when i scroll down in the program the items such as the navigation bar and logo move also but i need them to stay still where they are, can you please help?   also the contact bar at the bottom need it to stay at the bottom.  I am not so familiar with programming codes so if you can provide simple answers i'd really appreciate it, thank a lot!

    Yes, disabling hardware acceleration fixed this for me too.
    I hope that this bug gets fixed and that I can use hardware acceleration when the final phase comes out.

  • Why am I only able to post a comment on Facebook only after I click on the "reload current page button"?

    This problem just started a couple of days ago. I had no problems before doing these simple tasks before. It is quite annoying to me that I have to continually click on the "reload current page" button each and every time I want to post a comment on Facebook. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

    I notice you turned off the setting that diverts new windows to a new tab. Since the new window will open in front of your current tab, it may appear that the current tab was closed, when in fact it is behind the new window. This hard to explain in words.
    Do you want to switch the setting?
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
    Check the box for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    Does that help?

    If you believe it was a bad move by Apple to discontinue it, that would seem to indicate you think it's a good phone. So why do you regret buying it? Does it do less today than it did before you found out it was discontinued? Whether or not Apple still sell it actually has no affect on its performance. Hard to believe, I know!

  • Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days?  I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.

    Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days?  I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.movie

    It should not take more than 4 hr.   Is there any indication it is making process?  i.e.  When you click on it to play do you get a message like "Will be avialable in 2hr 34 min"?  Is that time changing?  I would cancel the download.  Restart ATV and then retry.  If it goes more than 4hr then there is an issue. 
    As another option you can always download the movie to your computer and use the iTuens menus to play it from your computer under the Computers icon.

    Ipad3, using iPhoto, running the latest IOS6, I'm a photographer, please tell me why has the delete (X) been removed in iPhoto?

    Ralph, again thanks for the input, but I respectfully disagree.  I have been using iPhoto with the iPad3 since it was launched.  I have taken and imported at a minimum 6-7k pictures and have used the same methodology of editing and deleting photos (inside of iPhoto app), using the delete (X) on the task bar.  I'm an IT project manager as well as an certified software consultant, in other words, I have a better than average knowledge and understanding of apps and the functionality.  My only point is that something that was quite functional and very user friendly has now become far more difficult. It was only 9 bucks and a pretty good little piece of software, I'll just find something else that is less time consuming and will check back for iPhoto update and from time to time.  Again, thank you for your feedback.

    You will have to contact the government to find out why they ordered it removed.  An iPhone purchased there can never have it added back in, even in a country where FaceTime is legal.
