Ever since downloading the newest version I have not been able to find the stop searching button on my navigation toolbar. And when trying to customize the toolbar it does not show as a choice. Where do I find this button; it is very irritating not to be able to stop searching when it takes a long time to load.

In Firefox 4, the "Stop" button is the same as the "Refresh" button. When your site is downloading, you'll see the "Stop" button, when it is finished, the "Refresh" button will reappear.

FYI, In case you are not aware of, the "Refresh/Stop" button has been incorporated into the far right end of the Location bar.
