A separate Refresh button is missing that I could place wherever I want

Since Fx29 the refresh button is now part of URL line, similar to IE. I would prefer to have it on the left of the window, where I have most of my customized controls/buttons. Having a refresh button as a custom control would be much better, especially for those having large screens/windows. Would it possible to return this button at least as an option back to customizable controls?

Yes, I've seen that. Thanks. Does not help to my question, though. There is no 'Refresh button' now in the list of customizable controls. It also does not appear detachable from the URL control :-(

The Refresh button is now embedded into the Address Bar and cannot be detached without an add-on.

Sorry, in the last post I said 'appears detachable' while meant to say 'does not appear detachable' - just updated the post. While I appreciate the efforts to make it consistent with IE address bar, it is not convenient on large screens/windows. If one has all control buttons on the left side of the browser, but has to refresh/stop on the right - it makes it annoying. Would it be possible to have a detachable/customizable reload/stop button back, so one could place it in the tool bar wherever he/she wants for convenience? Thanks!

The Classic Theme Restorer should be able to allow you to do this.

Also check the Options button of this extension in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions".
