How do I reload a page on Firefox? On the old version or on Internet explorer there used to be a button at the top of the page to click to "reload". Where has it gone? The help pages are very poor as it did not come up with any suggestions.

Chosen solution

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload 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, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the 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.

Thanks for that. It is a pity that the help page did not give such a simple answer.
