Swap refresh & bookmarking?

For quite a while, the refresh button has been INSIDE the URL bar, on the right hand side. The bookmark button could be placed in various places on the toolbar. (Image 1) In the new version, suddenly the refresh button is on the left hand side of the toolbar, OUTSIDE the URL bar, and the bookmark button is on the right, INSIDE the URL bar. I managed at least to figure out a way to get the refresh button over to the right side again, but the positions of refresh and bookmark are still swapped from what they were before. (Image 2) Odds are, when I go to bookmark a page now, I refresh it. And vice versa. Is there anyway to re-position these to be where they were in the previous version?

Sorry, with Quantum the "Bookmark this page" button is "stuck" in the Location Bar container and while the Refresh can be moved on the Navigation Toolbar it can't be moved into the Location Bar container.

This extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-bookmark-folder/ - can affect the Location Bar container by adding another "button" there, but that is for a different purpose / action that is added ro Firefox.

I understand where you are coming from, which is why I kept the Refresh button on the left as it comes in Quantum; basically a location that was used in the distant past like Firefox 3.# and Firefox 4.0 versions.

Thanks for your reply, edmeister. I thought that was probably the case.

"basically a location that was used in the distant past like Firefox 3.# and Firefox 4.0 versions."

I remember it well... And it took me years to get used to where they moved it after that. I just can't understand why software developers (NOT just at Mozilla) are constantly making these seemingly arbitrary changes everyone is forced to adjust to. After a while, it begins to look suspiciously like they just want to mess with us.

What's the use in trying to make firefox faster if they're going to change it in ways that make the user slower...  :-( (Just a rhetorical question.)
