can't find the "stop" button after updating to firefox 8
I just updated to Firefox 8 and can no longer find the "stop" button to prevent a website from loading if I inadvertently hit the enter button too soon. I looked under customize toolbar but don't see it. Icons I've got are back, forward, address bar, star, down arrow reload, google search bar, popup blocker, and home. thank you

In Firefox 4 and newer versions, the Go, Stop and Reload buttons are combined in one button at the right end of the URL or Address bar. The button changes depending on the activity:
- green Go arrow when typing in the address bar
- red Stop ("X") button while page is loading
- gray Reload (circular arrow) when page is finished loading.
Separate buttons are possible:
- Open Customize Toolbar window by clicking Firefox button > Option > Toolbar Layout OR clicking View > Toolbars > Customize if using the Menu Bar OR right-click in an empty space on a toolbar and choose Customize
- While the Customize window is open, Stop and Reload buttons will show separated between the address bar and the search bar
- While the Customize window is open, drag the buttons anywhere on the Navigation toolbar
- order Reload-Stop will combine into one button
- order Stop-Reload will remain separate buttons
- or drag a "Separator" from the Customize window between Reload-Stop and they will remain separate
- click Done at bottom right of Customize window to finish

Thank you !!!
This is absolutely the perfect answer. I would never have discovered this without you. Just the way I want it now. Wish Firefox would explain these things.
Thank you so much
