In Internet Explorer, in the tools bar there is a refresh screen button, I can not find it in your tool bar in Mozilla Firefox. Please tell me how to refresh a screen in this web. Thanks !

If you go to IE you will see it in the tool bar under the address line.

The refresh button is located at the end of the address bar. It is combined with the stop button. When a page is loading, the stop button will show in red. When no page is loading it will be a refresh button in gray, which turns blue on hover. I've uploaded a screenshot with the refresh button circled in red.

If you prefer your buttons to be elsewhere, you can right click on a toolbar and choose "Customize" then drag any button to any position you choose.

And to keep the reload/Stop buttons from combining after moving them elsewhere, either place them as Stop|Reload or put a flexible space in between if you prefer them as Reload|Stop.

Thank you so much ! I am so accustomed to using IE and I know where everything is there. But Gaming sites I use told me to go to Firefox. Have a great day !
