How has moving the Home button and the refresh button improved Firefox? Peo grow accustomed to the location of features, moving them does not improve the browser.
Moving the location of features such as the Home button and the sometimes refresh button does not improve the function of the browser. It simply forces users to re-learn the location of these features and put up with the associated inconvenience. Why, what have you gained?

The reload button has moved to create more space on the toolbar (it is now incorporated into the address bar). If you would like to move the home button back to where it used to be, right click on any empty part of the toolbar and then click Customize. A new window will open and then you can click and drag any toolbar button to exactly where you would like it to be.
I'm sorry you are not completely satisfied with Firefox 4, but, realistically, to change it back for one person would not make sense especially when it is something that can be customized to exactly how you want it to be.
When I click on an empty space on the toolbar, the home button does not show up in my list
what a ridiculous reply. moving the home button is a pain when it has been on he left for many years now. why the change? are you trying to mimic ie? i hope not. it doesn't create more space on the toolbar - in fact he default setting for firefox 4 removes space. by moving the home buttons and other buttons back it increases the space back to where it was before. also why did the history button change to be a button on its own rather thn attached to the forward / back buttons? to say it's not worth changing it for one person is a nonsense answer. i know loads of people who say it sucks so have had to customize it to change it back to how it was.
yeah- sucks. you need to drag the home button into the box. scroll to down to find it (yes i know, not what you would expect from mozilla 0 maybe ibm but not mozilla) and then drag it where you want it to be. you'll find by moving it back to where it use to be you will have more space to see webpages
Use this to open the tab history list:
- Right click on the Back or Forward button
- Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:
- Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
"to change it back for one person would not make sense especially when it is something that can be customized to exactly how you want it to be. "
Really? only one person? And since dragging the icon has been disabled, how are your instructions obvious? And how does putting the button at the end of the same line "make more space"? It still takes up the same amount of space!
Although the instructions were accurate, I feel the post was demeaning to users. The post clearly assumes changes at the developer's whims are more important than the users needs.
- Moving the reload/stop button to the end of the address bar and making it smaller most certainly has added more available space to the toolbar - it is smaller.
- Perhaps it is more than one person who is dissatisfied, but nothing is changed in Firefox on a whim. Firefox is open source and much of its developing is done by volunteers. Mozilla and everyone who contributes to its coding has reasons for why they do what they do. Personally, I am not a developer and I do not know the exact reason why the change was made.
- Moving the home button back to where you want it takes probably less than thirty seconds. All you have to do is take less than thirty seconds drag it to where you want it to be and never worry about it again. So, to change something because some people do not like it and it can be changed in less than thirty seconds would not be a good move for the developers when they have other things to fix and other things to develop.
I'm sorry that you are dissatisfied with the new Firefox.

Oh. My. Gosh. Come on, people - It's FREE, and so-o-o-o much better than IE. It takes, what, 5 seconds to move your home button? If you're not bright enough to be able to move a button in 5 seconds you should probably be using IE anyway. For crying out loud stop your whining. IT"S CUSTOMIZABLE. Thanks, Firefox. I for one, love the new version. Some people just can't keep up, I guess. From those of us who can handle such hi-tech maneuvers as moving a button, keep up the good work!

Once you click customize, you should be able to drag the home button anywhere you want. Clunky!
"but, realistically, to change it back for one person would not make sense..." Read the reviews on what people think of this newly designed FireFox 4.... The majority of People hate it, including myself. Most people using the internet are not very good with computers & this new version is just confusing & frustrating everyone because its just too hard to use.
I can't MOVE the HOME icon? Well that sucks! WHERE is the refresh button? No, I don't love it!I find the tabs on top WEIRD!
Walt..I am OLD...I hate change..please help me get my home icon back to where is was........WHERE is my refresh/reload button?
Beyond questions of changing things that aren't broken... the old layout with all the page control buttons in one place, and a sensible place at that, is simpler and easier interface. I urge the FF4 people to restore that as the default layout.
Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end side 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.
Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
- Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
- Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
- Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
- Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.
I Agree changing the default interface claiming that it is a technical advance is a dubious claim at best and at worst it is a visual change forced on the community at large because a test or focus group thought it was a good idea. I compare there analogy to an interior decorator who goes over to his blind friends house and decides to surprise him by moving all the furniture around because it has been that way for to long and he wants to impress his blind friend with the new visual aesthetics of the room. The blind man comes home stumbles around damn near breaking his neck and discovers his furniture has been rearranged to suit someone else s purposes and their ideas of convenience, and when he complains he is called unenlightened, regressive and is finally told by his friend the "ambush" decorator if you don't like it you can just feel your way around your house, find your stuff, and put it back the way it was. The decorating friend now offended says "I just can't believe how ungrateful you are." He gets to the door and takes a last look at his masterpiece feeling rather proud of himself he says to the blind-man "Look how beautiful this place is and this was a freebie it's not like I am sending you a bill for this so just get over it already"

That makes no sense to me: a) it's a square, it takes up space on the the toolbar, or it takes up space on the address bar. It's the same size in either place. b) you now have to go from one end of the bar to the other to do VERY similar navigational things, go back, go forward, go home? c) If it's so easy to change, why not leave it the way it was, and the people who liked to NOT have all their controls in one place could change it?!?! d) As of Firefox 5, IT RESETS EVERY DAY even if you do customize it. EVERY DAY I have to move the home and refresh buttons back to where they should be. A VERY stupid change, and one that needs to be fixed.
The home button does not show up, but you can still grab the home button from the browser and move it, as well as any other button.
YEAH!!! I LOVE YOUR RESPONSE!!!
Once you right click in an empty area of the toolbar you can left click on the Home icon and drag it.
