The Stop Loading and Reload icons for the navigation bar, the red X and the curved arrow as in Firefox3, did not appear in Firefox4 and they are not among the choices in the Customize Toolbar window. How do I get these back?

Firefox 4.0 has a combined Go/Reload/Stop button that is positioned at the far right of the location bar.

  • During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button. If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
  • You can middle-click that button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
  • In Firefox 4.0 you can move the Stop/Reload button out of the location bar and put them wherever you want on the toolbar. You can also make them appear as separate buttons on the toolbar.
    • Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move them out of the location bar.
    • Swap the two buttons or move them to their previous position at the left of the location bar.
    • If the order is "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    • Swap the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.
