First, check the options for those add-ons.

For the combined reload/stop/go button you can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension.

Of course I have first checked the options of that add-ons. There is no such option - "not show icon in the address bar".

FredMcD, did you understand my question? Why do you show my system details here.

I don't want to restore the classic theme. I like new look of Firefox. And this option will remove only "reload" icon. What about other icons?

Because this is an add-on, I don't know if this will work.

Type about:customizing<enter> in the address bar. In the new window, look for the icon. When you find it, hold down the left button on it, and move it to where you want it to be. You can move any of the icons you want from here, but some icons are locked in place.

The problem is that the whole address (url) bar is inactive in customizing mode.

You can look at the "Urlbar settings" in the Options/Preferences of the Classic Theme Restorer extension in case you missed that section.

Look, there is an option to hide the "reload" button. But I can't remove extension buttons. For example install "Pocket" extension and try to remove its icon/button from location bar.
