I "upgraded" to FF5 and now have no refresh or stop icons in the menu bar, nor are they available on the "personalize" menu. How do I get them back?

Glad to have helped.

This was something a lot of users asked about when it first changed, and I did not initially realise myself that the order of the buttons would make a difference as to whether a single smart button or a pair of buttons would display.

The idea is that the button on the end of the location gar is smart and changes between being a stop or a reload button. It is a stop button whilst loading and a reload button once loaded.

The buttons can be dragged off the customise menu, or if they are already on the toolbar they may be re-positioned, they combine depending on the order they are in, separate them or move them so they swap places, instead of docking with the location bar.

John99,

Thanks! I didn't realize that that "smart" button" was detachable from the location bar.
