1. Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
2. Click the Restore Defaults button, then the Exit Customize button.
3. If you don't already have it, install Classic Theme Restorer and restart Firefox when prompted.
4. Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
5. Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
6. On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
7. Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
8. Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
9. Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.

That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.

• Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
• Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
• Press F5.
• Press Ctrl+R (Mac: Command+R).

Thank you for the response. This has allowed me with some extra effort (the drag drop wants to always put things to the right of the address bar) to organize things properly on the screen.

The only remaining problem is that the Reload button I have placed there does not function. And yes I checked "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" and they are no longer in the address bar. Amazingly dragging on the Back or Forward button still brings up the history so that is good. I use the Reload button though and it will be a pain to have to right click or use a keystroke to do it.

Update. Now for whatever reason the Reload button has started working so I am tentatively back in business, after wasting hours of my work time dealing with these issues.
