How do I customize the Refresh Button in Firefox 29?

In Firefox 29, the refresh button is permanently embedded in the address bar's field on the far right. On large monitors, this is very inconvenient.
In most cases, the URL of the current website does not reach beyond the 1024 pixel mark, and even if it does, the far right-hand portion of any given URL is usually the least significant part of the web address.
Particularly in Right-To-Left language versions of Firefox, a user's attention is heavily focused on the leading portion of the URL, on the far left of the browser window.
Why is the user forced to break attention from the leading edge of the address bar, and find the far right-hand side of the address field (which can vary in length), AND THEN target the mouse on the very small refresh icon?
Why is the user forced to lift their hands from a resting position on the keyboard, to find the F5 key to refresh the page?
If the iser is already looking at the URL bar, and the refresh is located directly to the left of the address bar, this makes refreshing the page with the mouse a lot more convenient.
Please allow the position of the refresh buttong to be configurable in future versions. There's no legitimate reason to lock down the refresh button.
Thank you.

I cannot enable Classic Theme Restorer. After a month, it still breaks Colorful tabs, all of my tabs are either clear or the same color except for the currently selected tab and pinned tabs. Yes, colorful tabs is that important. It helps me organize and tell my tabs apart. My other problem is that every time I open the customize menu tab now, my toolbars get rearranged from address bar at the top, bookmarks toolbar, and yahoo toolbar with tabs below. When I select or open the customize menu tab, the tool bars get rearranged to yahoo tollbar on top and address bar on bottom. Simply closing Firefox or restarting it fixes the problem, but it makes customizing a problem. I recently installed Adblock Plus to fix a hanging and freezing problem. I keep my add ons-extensions and plug ins up to date and am running the latest version of Firefox non-beta. I am on Windows 8.1 and run with many tabs, but have selected in options the, "do not load tabs until selected" option. I really think you guys need to scap Firefox 29 and go back to 28 and rebuild from there. Stop trying to satisfy or appel to developers and programmers. They are the minority of users. The majority of users use the Internet, computers, and browsers, including Firefox as a tool to do their work. Ignoring that idea, or forging ahead the developer way in spite of this has been a major failing of the IT community and was the cause of the problems with Internet Explorer, Windows Vista, Windows 8, and now OS X, and now Firefox 29. Matching the Chrome rapid release cycle was a mistake. Simply releasing updates more often was the answer, not trying to imitate the competition. I don't use IE or Chrome often because they load all tabs on open, and Chrome is not faster unless you turn off Java, Flash, and everything that makes the Web vibrant and interesting. Congratulations on joining the two big crap browsers out there. Being most used does not mean being the most liked. Firefox was the most liked until it tried to be the most popular. I'm a teacher, and I can tell you, the popular kids are also the most shallow and superficial....

    How can I customize the navigation bar in Firefox 29? I would like to have the refresh/stop button back in front of the navigation bar!

    There isn't a built in way to do that since all the navigation toolbars are on one toolbar.

  • How do i get the refresh button to not disappear after i have moved it to the left side of the address bar in firefox 8?

    when i customize the toolbar i moved the refresh button to the left side of the address bar, i also put the stop button and home button there as well. but after i click done when i have finished only the refresh bar disappears, but i can click customize and it reshows up in the same spot only to disappear again after i click done. it used to work just fine in firefox 3.

    I've attached a screenshot. You may have to move one of the buttons around a bit until it settles down. Alternatively you can also add a '''Separator''' ('''View''' (or '''Alt''' + '''V''') > '''Toolbars''' > '''Customize''') between the two.

  • How do you move the refresh button?

    I can't believe anyone would have been so moronic to make it fixed in such a stupid place, so how do I move it? Seems to be getting worse than IE now, and I thought its main attraction was its ability to be customised?
    Come on, wake up!

    Thanks, I'm glad there is some common sense somewhere, totally daft, it is easier to use F5 than the refresh button out in the desert by itself.
    I'm glad they don't design cars, they would put the gas pedal in the trunk, and the parking brake under the hood :)
    I don't see the logic in having to have an add-on co customise a "customisable" application

  • How has moving the Home button and the refresh button improved Firefox? Peo grow accustomed to the location of features, moving them does not improve the browser.

    Moving the location of features such as the Home button and the sometimes refresh button does not improve the function of the browser. It simply forces users to re-learn the location of these features and put up with the associated inconvenience. Why, what have you gained?

    what a ridiculous reply. moving the home button is a pain when it has been on he left for many years now. why the change? are you trying to mimic ie? i hope not.
    it doesn't create more space on the toolbar - in fact he default setting for firefox 4 removes space. by moving the home buttons and other buttons back it increases the space back to where it was before.
    also why did the history button change to be a button on its own rather thn attached to the forward / back buttons?
    to say it's not worth changing it for one person is a nonsense answer. i know loads of people who say it sucks so have had to customize it to change it back to how it was.

  • How do I get the home button in Firefox 18.0.1 to open the home pages in existing tabs instead of new tabs? I have tried some add on with no luck.

    I have tried the following Add on - Tab Utilities and Tab Mix Plus.
    Basically on start up of Mozilla, I have five tabs that load. After surfing/working a bit online, I would like to reload the five original tabs back to the original home page/load settings. If I click on the home button, five more tabs load, giving me ten tabs instead of the five original that I desire.
    Are there any other add on that would fix this. I tried the two above but either they do not offer it or I don't know what settings to choose.

    The best way to keep your home page in the tab is to open other links in a new tab with a middle-click.<br />
    Clicking the home page always open a new set, so you would have to close the current tabs first to prevent getting multiple home page sets.<br />
    I don't know if there is still an extension that can open the home pages and replace the current set.

  • How do I customize the error pages in Firefox 24?

    I'd like to customize the HTLM/CSS/JavaScript of all the Firefox 24 error pages, i.e. the network connectivity lost, DNS and other standard error pages.

    Hello ekan,
    This can be done, but you're going to need to get pretty dirty to get it done. Ready?
    First, learn about userContent.css:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder
    Now, the easiest way to learn about the elements on the error page is to go to the source. So, go to the chrome folder in the Firefox program folder, usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome in Windows Explorer. Find the file called classic.jar and copy that somewhere else. Rename classic.jar to a .zip file and extract it, preferably to a folder called classic at whatever location you are at. Then, open the classic folder and navigate to ...\classic\skin\classic\global and find the file called netError.css.
    Open the netError.css file in Wordpad (Notepad doesn't seem to work for me because then the lines all run together). See all the code that starts with the # symbol? Those are the things you can easily change. Copy all the #ELEMENT code into your userContent.css file.
    Now you can start making changes to see what you like. I would make small changes at a time to see if it works the way you want. After each change, you need to close and restart Fx. Here's one to get you going:
    CODE: SELECT ALL
    #errorPageContainer {
    -moz-border-radius: 0px !important;
    background-color: red !important;
    That should make the box that surrounds the error message be red with square corners instead of white with a rounded corner border. Remember that before every semi-colon, you need to put !important or the change won't do anything.

  • How to Use an Image to Customize the Static Button Widget

    Can I just get someone to help me figure out how to use an image to customize the static button widget, please?
    I have tried using several different types of images, but none of them seem to actually change the appearance of the button.
    Thanks!
    Laura
    Captivate 5.5

    I tried to use the tools within the widget itself - it offers you the opportunity to use an image (see screenshot below).
    I also opened it in Flash and tried to replace the images for one of the button styles there w/ my own, but in re-publishing the SWF from there I broke the widget.  When I attempted to use the edited widget, there were no customization controls available after I inserted it (see screenshot two below).

  • I can't open a new tab when I right click the refresh button; same goes when I click on History and right click a past site. How do I fix it?

    It happened after Mozilla Firefox's plugin crashed. Whenever I tried right clicking the refresh button or a page in History, it no longer prompted me to "open in a new page." Instead, the box showing the menu bar, navigation bar, etc. showed up. How do I change it back?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • How do I get Firefox to view the latest version of webpages when I return, instead of having to click on the refresh button?

    I couldn't find the option to choose on Firefox to view the latest version of web pages automatically each time I return. I've been needing to hit the refresh button.

    You can make Firefox always reload a page by changing a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''frequency''' to bring up a small number of preferences
    # Double-click on the preference '''browser.cache.check_doc_frequency''' and change its value to '''1'''
    For more details on that preference see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency

  • Can Firefox provide an option to keep the refresh button next to the forward/back buttons?

    When I first installed FF4 the refresh button was buried on the righthand side of the URL window. There were a number of complaints about that location.
    Then the button got moved next to the forward/back buttons. This made me quite happy.
    Today, I find it's again buried in the previous position.
    Can I get it back to where it is more accessible?

  • In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). Can anyone help?

    In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). I saved my Numbers document before copying to Pages. Can anyone help?

    I think you identified my mistake. I confused tables-charts-graphs. I was wanting a "table" of cells (numbers) to be added to the Pages document. Is there no way to do that and keep the tables linked between Numbers09 and Pages09?
    An example would be a Numbers spreadsheet calculating a number (say, a product price) and that number (data) be linked to a product information text in Pages.
    I just recently saw the Merge function in Pages, but have not yet learned how that works. I don't use Pages much at all but it would come in handy for creating to information sheets about products --- with the product pricing being updated from a Numbers spreadsheet.
    If you have any hints on how that can be done or where I can find info on that I would appreciate it.
    Thanks for catching my misunderstanding.

  • How do I disable the reload on the back button of Firefox and have it display the cached/prior page version?

    Every time I click the "back" button, Firefox reloads the previous page I was on. How do I disable the reload and have Firefox display the cached/prior page version? The whole point of going "back" is to see what we were just looking at.. I don't want a refreshed version of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am running version 3.6.12.

    No problem. It's not a request that's been seen much if at all to be honest. I rely on them myself.
