when I updated to 4.0 version now have several new issues. I'm running firefox on three laptops and the one running XP i have lost my refresh icon and home icon. I don't want to update the others unitl I get to the bottom of this issue. also when I do a search when the auto fill drop down menu drops down when I click on it it is supposed to go to that search

i.e. typing nashville the drop down gives nashville with many options that normally I could point to and click now when I point to one it still only loads the original nashville search Went to firefox website and tried to redownload but I assume it "sees" the newer version already there and does not execute

your thoughts? Thanx much dave

You can find the Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.

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.

If toolbar items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
