Using Firefox 12 the icon "reload current page" works for regular web pages but does not work when I view a local svg file. ex file file:///D:/test/programming/python/svgwrite/test.svg will show the svg correctly but when I update the svg file I can no longer press the "reload current page" icon because the icon is greyed out. This worked perfectly while using Firefox 11.x. How do I get this to work like it did in Firefox 11? Thanks.

Do the F5 or Ctrl+F5 shortcut keys work?

You can also click the URL on the location bar to add and remove a Space or anther character and click the Go button that should appear to reload the page.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

It works now but am not sure why. It might be that I closed firefox and restarted it a couple of times. The F5 definitely worked but then so did the reload page icon now. Sorry to bother you with the question but I was sure I had tried closing and restarting Firefox. Thanks.
