Why can't I move the reload button left where it used to be?
I have used firefox since the dawn of time and have many ingrained habits, such as moving the mouse up left next to the home and back buttons to find reload. Now it is weirdly locked right of the URL bar. When is this going to be fixed? I have read of "solutions" involving downgrading firefox or some plugin/addon/tirepatch - but I am waiting for a real solution. At this point, chrome is the best option.

You know, the classic theme restorer does solve this for me. Unlike my experience in the past where installing an addon was rocket science, this was trivially easy and in less than a minute I have a reload button where I want it (so my old habits can find it). I still advocate for making this a native "tunable" interface attribute for firefox. There is indeed now a redundant reload button where firefox insists it be, but I can live with that. So thanks, this indeed removes the major source of annoyance.

This was one of the changes in Firefox 29. You can use an add-on to add new buttons (back, forward, stop, reload) to the address bar and suppress the ones attached to or located inside the bar. For example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
I understand that you prefer to have this built-in to Firefox. I have no idea whether that will ever happen. To suggest feature changes, you can use this site: https://input.mozilla.org/feedback
