Customization and usability
I need to be able to see all of the tabs, not just the active tabs. My eyesight isn't going to get any better, and making the tabs invisible doesn't really help.
I also need to be able to put the refresh button where I want it. I want it next to the home button, where I had it. Since Firefox has developed a back button-cache problem (search on Google, click a result, click back, oops the page is blank), I have to refresh all the time. I want the button in a convenient place, not halfway across the screen.
If I wanted the browser to look like Chrome, I'd use Chrome. Viva la difference.

The problem with the Google results page blanking out when you go Back seems to occur if you have a high zoom level. Not sure the exact cause of this bug has been tracked down...
The workaround is to turn off the feature that tries to save time redrawing the page:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste sess and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers preference and change the value from -1 to 0 (that's a zero).
(Please don't change any other similar-sounding settings to 0 or you may disable Firefox's ability to save/restore your open windows and tabs.)
Then reload the problem page. Hopefully after that you won't need to reload.

See the following article.
- Install Classic Theme Restorer and restart Firefox when prompted.
- Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
- Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
- 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".
- Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
- Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
- 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.

I appreciate both of these answers, and they do help.
