Why can't I changed that incredibly silly position of the page reload button?

I am using Firefox 29. And I want to move the tabs below the Menu Bar as well. What's the point of making everything more complicated?

The reasons for this change are described elsewhere, so in the interest of time, I'll skip that part.

As far as I know, the Classic Theme Restorer add-on is the only way move the Reload button outside the address bar. You can move the tab bar below the address bar without an add-on though.

  1. Install Classic Theme Restorer and restart Firefox when prompted.
  2. Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
  3. Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
  4. On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons".
  5. Also on the Main tab, choose "Tabs not on top - set [tabsontop=false]".
  6. Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
  7. Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
  8. Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.
