I am unable to reload a page using Firefox 14.0.1 under Fedora 8. Neither F5 nor Ctrl+R do anything, or any combination with Ctrl or Shift. There is also no View / Reload option. The "reload current page" button also does not work. This makes it quite difficult to navigate the web. Please help quickly!

Which Firefox version do you have installed?
A version from the Ubuntu repositories or a version from the Mozilla server?
Did you update or install a full Firefox 14.0.1 version?

You can try to reinstall Firefox.

You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
