Where's the Reload button on Firefox 6?

I installed Firefox 6 and now I cannot locate the Reload button. On my previous version it was just to the right of the forward/back arrows.

It is docked at the end of the location bar (where you type web addresses) and is changed so that it is a reload button with an arrow once a web page is loaded but a stop button with a cross whilst a page is loading.
If you really want the old type buttons back it is possible to get something similar using the customise option. (whether you get or two buttons or one combined depends on the position and order of the buttons.)

Went to your 'help' section and asked "where is the reload button?" and now I am being told my question is too long. very screwed up folks.

Where is the "reload" button?
WHY HAVE A 'DETAILS' BOX THAT HOLDS 345 CHARACTERS WHEN YOU COME BACK AND DEMAND THAT I REDUCE IT TO 255 CHARACTERS? HOW STUPID IS THAT? I had an explanation written out but the system won't accept it.
Christ, now it's telling me that my question is too long and I don't even know how to get back to the question to reduce the number of characters in it. This is truly screwed up folks.

By default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again.

Where is the 'reload' button?

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/843347]''
how do I get my 'reload' button back on my screen?

In Firefox 4, the stop/go/reload buttons have been combined into one button, and are attached to the right edge of the location bar. If you type in the location bar you get the go button, when a page is loading it becomes the stop button, at other times it becomes the reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the reload and stop buttons to where you want them on the toolbar.

Where is the reload button that used to be on top of the window?

Thanks! That solved it.

Where is the homepage button on Firefox 4 for mac? Can't find one anywhere.

I installed Firefox 4 on my mac overwriting my older version 3. Found most of the stuff I use a lot in new places but cannot find a button to navigate back to my homepage as before. There is also no icon for it in Customize Toolbar.

You can open the History in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > History (Ctrl+H) 
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
You can find toolbar buttons to open the bookmarks and the history in the sidebar in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

Am unable to find a "reload" button for Firefox under Windows 7.

Where is the Reload button?

Firefox 4.0 has a '''''combined''''' Reload/Stop button that is positioned at the far right of the location bar. (see image attached at bottom of this reply)
In Firefox 4.0 you can move the Stop/Reload button out of the location bar and put them wherever you want on the toolbar. You can also make them appear as separate buttons on the toolbar.
* Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move them out of the location bar.
* Swap the two buttons or move them to their previous position at the left of the location bar.
* If the order is "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Swap the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar in ff4? It isn't included in the Customize box. Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option compeletly gone from Firefox now?

Just installed upgrade to Firefox 4.0. Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar. I checked the Customize dialogue box and it isn't included. Is anyone else missing it? Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option completely gone from Firefox now? It was a very helpful button and allowed us users to stop a web page and move on if it wasn't what we needed.

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again.

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.
You can always feel free to provide feedback to Apple though.

Where have the reload and stop loading buttons gone?

The reload button and the stop button do not appear on the toolbar in beta 7. I can reload a tab from the context menu for the tab, not as easy but it can be done. But I can see no way to stop a page load. So how?

Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop button that appears at the far right of the location bar.
* Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move them out of the location bar.
* Swap the two buttons or move them to their previous position at the left of the location bar.
* If the order is "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Swap the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

I would like to move the reload button off of the location bar. I would also like to have a visible "forward" button as well as the back button.

Simple as that. Given that I have OCD, it's extremely unpleasant to have both the forward and back buttons not consistently visible. How can I return to that appearance?
I also want to separate the reload button from the location bar, as I had it before the update. I find myself reloading pages quite often, and having the button be smaller, and within the location bar, is well... kinda counter-intuitive.
Ideally, I would like to have it ordered, from left to right: back, forward, reload, location bar.
Firefox has always been very customizable, and very user friendly. A few hiccups here and there, sure, but you can typically get what you want done, one way or another. So can you guys help me out? This is driving me crazy. I have installed Classic Theme Restorer, and it doesn't change that I can't currently do this.

Hi Rose1, if you mean in the regular address bar of Firefox 29, the Forward button should appear after you have used Back.
If you mean in the Classic Theme Restorer, you first need to check the box for "Movable back-forward button" in its Options. Open the Add-on page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions, then click the Options button for Classic Theme Restorer. On the "Main" tab, under General UI, you will find this option. As you check and uncheck, Firefox shows the result of the change, so you should see the arrows appear on the right end of the main toolbar.
After finishing with this dialog, you can use Customize to drag them where you want them.
Any luck?

WHERE IS THE REFRESH BUTTON FOR THE SIXTH TIME

Where is the refresh button for the seventh time. I cannot refresh

In addition to the above posted by James:
Click the Refresh button on the right hand side of the location bar container on the Navigation Toolbar or press "Ctrl + R" or F5 to reload a web page.
Firefox 4 later use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar. 
During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button. 
If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button. 
Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.

Why has the Reload button shrunk and shot to the end of the URL window? How will I find out when the Favloc plugin works in V4?

I had installed Firefox 4, but rapidly had to backtrack to 3.6, then again to 3.5. Two reasons: 1. The three toolbar buttons I use most are Back, Forward and Reload. In 3.5 I can group these nicely at the left hand end; in 4 the Reload button has shrunk and shot across to the end of the URL bar. Why?
2. Versions 3.6 and 4 are incompatible with the Favloc plugin. This is such a brilliant plugin you ought to buy the code and build it in. I am marooned in 3.5 until this plugin works in V4 - running 3.5, how will I find out when it does?

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).

Im missing title (address) bar and the tab "+" button on Firefox Mobile for Android, how do i get them back?

I think I accidentally went into fullscreen and cant figure out how to get out of it on Firefox for Android Tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0)

Hello Sher.
If you're talking about the menu bar, press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.
