After updating to FF45.0, the "Reload current page" button does nothing. It DOESN'T refresh the page any more.
I keep several tabs open at all times, and frequently need to refresh a page when I return to an already open tab. Until 45.0, the button worked. Now it doesn't. The circular arrow no longer turns into an X as the page reloads. I have to click on the url and press return to reload the page - which DOES cause the circular arrow to turn into the X.
Windows 10 64-bit.

Disabled all add-ons. Added them back one at a time with FF close/open between each. IE Tab breaks it.
Blur, Classic Theme Restorer, Download Status Bar, & Greasemonkey seem to be OK.

Hold down the Shift key, then try again.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
FredMcD: Button works in safe mode. Maybe incompatibility with some add-on? Should I disable them & test as I add them back?
cor-el: No change, still doesn't work with any of your Windows suggestions.

That was very good work. Well Done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.

THANK YOU FRED! Your suggestion pointed me in the right direction. I had forgotten that FF HAS a safe mode.
Removing IE Tabs also corrects the non functioning 'Bookmark this Page ' button which has driven me nuts for two days. I wonder how many other buttons are similarly affected?
