Not related to your question, but...

You need to update some plug-ins:

• Plug-in check: https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
• Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape: Installing/Updating Adobe Reader in Firefox
• Shockwave Flash (Adobe Flash or Flash): Updating Flash in Firefox
• Next Generation Java Plug-in for Mozilla browsers: Installing or Updating Java in Firefox

I can't see how this in any way should make it easyer to reload a page. I'am refering to the option that used to be found under "view Reload Ctrl+r" in earlyer versions of firefox.

I have figured it out. I must right-click while holding the mousepointer over the tabs description on the top - how logical :-)

Reload/Refresh button is at the right end of the Location/URL bar. It is a combined button that changes. On the page link that I posted, all you needed to do was click on the link "What happened to the back, refresh and home buttons?":

• See Common questions after updating Firefox-What happened to the back, refresh and home buttons?

To reload/refresh a page, you can:

• CTRL+R
• F5
• Ctrl+F5 bypasses the cache and reloads a fresh copy of the page
• right-click on the page and choose Reload
• right-click on the selected tab and choose Reload Tab or Reload All Tabs
• You can still use the Menu Bar by pressing the ALT key or the F10 key to temporarily display the Menu Bar and make your selections from the Menu Bar

Starting in Firefox 4, 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:

1. 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
2. Stop and Reload buttons will show separated between the address bar and the search bar
3. 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
4. click Done at bottom right of Customize window to finish

Of course reload and refresh means the same, I should have noticed. Thank you for your thorough and good answard. I'm a great fan of fire fox but I don't easily adapt to changes.
