What's happened with the back button and reload button.

The back button and forward button used to have a little down arrow that when clicked on would display previously cached pages. Why am I not seeing this anymore. Nor can I find anyplace to install it.

The reload button and stop button are now moved to the right of the page and I would like to move it back to the left. Is there any way to do this?

I am running Firefox 4.0.1

Back/Forward drop-down marker
The drop-down marker was removed from the Back/Forward button in Firefox 4.

You can do one of the following:

Stop/Reload buttons
Firefox 4.0 has a combined Go/Reload/Stop button that is positioned at the far right 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.
  • You can middle-click that button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
  • In Firefox 4.0 you can move the Stop/Reload button out of the location bar and put them wherever you want on the toolbar. You can also make them appear as separate buttons on the toolbar.
    • Open the Customize Toolbars window to move them out of the location bar.
      • click Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout
      • if using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars > Customize
    • Swap the two buttons or move them to their previous position at the left of the location bar.
    • If the order is "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    • Swap the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.




You need to update the following:

  • Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape
  1. Check your plugin versions on either of the following links':
  2. Update Adobe Reader (PDF plugin):
    • From within your existing Adobe Reader (if you have it already installed):
      • Open the Adobe Reader program from your Programs list
      • Click Help > Check for Updates
      • Follow the prompts for updating
      • If this method works for you, skip the "Download complete installer" section below and proceed to "After the installation" below
    • Download complete installer (if you do NOT have Adobe Reader installed):
    • After the installation, start Firefox and check your version again.

Well thank you very much! It was driving me crazy as I used that feature, the drop down marker, all the time and could not for the life of me understand why it would be removed. I never thought to right click on it.

Thanks for the help!
