How do I remove the reload/stop button from the url bar and place them in the toolbar as seperate buttons in FF29

more options

The stop/reload buttons need to be separate, on the toolbar and always available, how do I get them out of the url bar and onto the toolbar where they belong.

Hi Lapyx!

You can try this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

The Classic Theme Restorer has many options that allow you to revert something that was introduced in Firefox 29 that you don't like (yet).

I appreciate the two responses my question has received. Sadly I guess there is no solution. I feel I should not have to load an add-on to get two of the most basic buttons in a browser.

There is now one large urlbar container that contains the location bar and the Back and Forward buttons and the combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is located at the right end of the location bar. This urlbar container is locked to its position on the Navigation Toolbar and can't be moved. This change also has the consequence that you can no longer hide the Navigation Toolbar, so you do not see this bar in the right-click context menu of the toolbar area that shows which toolbars to show or hide.

You need an extension like Classic Theme Restorer to move buttons out of the urlbar container and have them a separate buttons on the Navigation Toolbar.

Classic Theme Restorer is the only option I've come across so far. Don't worry, it won't automatically restore the old theme, there are just a ton of useful options, and that includes being able to make the reload/stop buttons mobile.
