Since downloading this new version, my computer is very slow. Also I can't see the "refresh" icon on the bar.
Since I downloaded this new version of Firefox, my computer is very slow. It takes forever to connect to any sites that previously connected fast including this site. I can't find the "refresh" icon now as well on the toolbar??

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.
See:
Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end 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.
