Why is there no refresh button on the tool bar?
when I am on FaceBook I keep getting script problems and flash player problems and if there were a refresh button on the tool bar I could use it and hopefully send info back to you all in order to get the problems fixed

There is a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location/address bar.
- Stop button: while the page is loading
- Reload button: when the page has finished loading
- Go button: when you modify the location/address bar content
- Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab
