In the past Iwas able to click on "stop" when a page was not loading after a period of time. In version 7.0.1 the "stop" button is ono longer available, or at least I can't find it.

Why was it removed in version 7.0.1. and if not removed, where is it?

It is now a combined button.

  • it is on the end of the location bar, (where you type in web addresses).
  • stop - It shows as a stop button whilst a page is loading and there is something to stop.
  • reload - It shows as a reload button when the site as finished loading, and reloading becomes an option
