Refresh button is missing

I have my browser buttons set up perfectly where I want them. I don't need someone else removing or moving them where they think is a better place.

How can I restore the refresh/stop button? Yes, I see the refresh in the address bar. I want it to the left, next to the home button where it's been for 10 years.

Chrome lets me put the button wherever I want it. The last Firefox version did too.

As far as I know, the Classic Theme Restorer add-on is the only way move the Reload button outside the address bar.

  1. Install Classic Theme Restorer and restart Firefox when prompted.
  2. Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
  3. Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
  4. On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
  5. Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
  6. Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
  7. Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.

That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.

  • Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
  • Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
  • Press F5.
  • Press Ctrl+R (Mac: Command+R).
