In FF7, just installed: Reload button inside right edge of Address field (as installed) has been replaced by "add bookmark" star-button. I want it back to default.

By default, the Reload button in Firefox 7 has been placed inside the address field, so there is no need for a separate button on the toolbar. After installing FF7 on a PC with no earlier Firefox version, I imported bookmarks from Internet Explorer 7, and then edited the FF toolbar to try out the Bookmarks button. The Bookmarks button didn'n work like I wanted, so I removed it from the toolbar again.

After some browsing, I noticed that the Reload symbol in the address bar was gone, replaced by a star that turned out to be "Add this page as a bookmark". I had not modified the address bar. I cannot find any references to this in the Help info, they all say that the Reload button should just be there (alternating with Stop or Go according to my actions).
