Note that you can move the combined Stop/Reload/Go button to another position on the Navigation Toolbar, but you can't place it in the location/address bar. So you can consider to move the Reload button and position it right after the location/address bar.

With an add-on, you can: from the r/firefox reddit forum, credit to u/BatDogOnBatMobileNightly :

Usually if you right-click that kind of toolbar button, you can remove it from the toolbar completely, or you can move it onto the "overflow" menu.

Also I want to move there reload button as it was in 56 version.

You want to move the reload button back inside the address bar? I don't know if there is a way to do that. You can move it over to just past the right end of the bar using the Customize tab. See: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars. Is that... close enough?

Sorry, I forgot this icon moved to the "page actions" area. If you right-click the icon, you can use "Remove from Address bar" to move it to the list that appears when you click the ••• button. That is different from the overflow menu. I'm not sure what it's called, actually, but I call it the page actions menu.

No, I meant moving screenshots to the upper right corner of Firefox. Near the Menu (burger) button. Like it was in Firefox 56. Now I can't move it anyway, only hide/show in the adress bar.

This is decided by the author of the extension. Either the author specifies it is for the "page actions" area or for the toolbar. I don't think users can move the button between those two areas.

Firefox 57 is not so cumfort in customization as previous builds unfortunatelly. Now I can't modify Menu buttons anyway also...

I meant Firefox screenshots. And it's Mozilla extension i think, so Mozilla decided to move it in the adress bar and don't let us get it out of there.

I understand, yes, Firefox Screenshots extension. Installed here (varies on 32-bit/64-bit):

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\features C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\browser\features

If you are not interested in the web hosting feature, you may consider:

Thanks. And what about screenshots? I think it was not a good idea to place it in adress bar. It would be nice if Mozilla give us a chance to move it out of this bar.

I am sure once the code trickles down to us mere mortal Volunteers in the future we will be able to answer these Questions. I think I am the only one here running the Final Release for 57 and I do not see a way of moving it by dragging, right clicking. So it is in the guts and we do not know that info as of yet, Thank You for understanding.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

I use 57 final too and just want to share an info with Mozilla. Maybe they improve this feature later allowing us to drug this buttons from adress bar to another place.

No reload/stop reload button in or near the address bar, nor in "page actions" list, nor anywhere else I can find. No option to drag it anywhere, or move it from a list, because it isn't there. This is a necessary function of the browser, and it's nowhere to be found!

Hi jjr2, normally in the Firefox 57 toolbar layout, the reload/stop button is just after back and forward, to the left of (outside of) the address bar, before the home button. Not there??

Yes, finally found it.
