Read that the new firefox 4 is so much better, so have upgraded, but now have no refresh page button or google home button. Is there some way to get them back, as having to page back fifty times to return to the start page is agravating.

Home button by default is far right, house symbol

Refresh button is called Reload with the curved arrow symbol

Choose View from the top commands, select Toolbars and check the first 4 boxes.

If this does not work then: Choose View from the top commands, select Toolbars and then customize. From the box that opens choose, the "Restore Default Set" button, select done and you may have to restart FF. Make sure you give FF some time before trying to restart or you will get an error, should take less than 1 minute.

The home button by default is moved to the right hand side of the location bar.

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload (Refresh) 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, or to move the Home button, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the home, 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. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Hi 1FastBeemer, thanks for answering. I think the new colours got me, am used to refresh being blue and home being yellow and everything on the new gui looks grey, im old and i couldnt distinguish them. Found what was always there but just moved in the new version. Again, thank you for replying, Peter

Thanks for the help. Now that I know where the refresh button is - very elegant design and kudos to the Firefox developers.
