Where has the "reload" option gone? (Iit used to be under the "View" menu.)
When looking at some websites, you get a cached version of a page and have to force a reload to ensure that you're looking at the latest version. "reload" used to be an option under the "View" tab but gone from there in the latest update. Where is it now?

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again.

You can also press F5 to reload a page.
