And, why would they want to hide the button? Of course, I'm assuming they're hiding it.

the righthand side!
Has it been there all along and I just kept relying on the button on the left?

3. Just right of where you type in the address of the page you've gone to?
At least that's where it is in this version....might not be the latest greatest.

4. It's after the "star" in the Address Bar... I just went through this yesterday
when Firefox forced me to upgrade to latest. :grr: Much of what I liked is gone. Had to reinstall my "Get Mail" add on. And, the icons are too teeny.

9. I customize my button and bar placement heavily
so mine won't be where yours is, but right-click on the bar and go to customize. Then you can drag it around and put it where ever is most convenient.

18. Aerows...Many Thanks! I was all over the Mozilla Help yesterday and
not one place did I see instructions for just clicing on the bar and moving your icons around. Everyone said to go into View/Customize and try to work it that way...or go to Tools and go back to "default" toolbar. Terrible info.

You are a lifesaver! I've finally got it back to the way I use Firefox!

:yourock:

10. "F5" always works, too.

Plus, hold shift while hitting refresh to increase the chances you're seeing the latest version of the page instead of what's in your cache.

F-5 is the only F key I feel safe using:)

11. F5 - this works on nearly every browser.
I honestly don't even know where the graphic refresh button is on my older version of Firefox.

15. Right click on the menu bar > Customize.
Then you can put the buttons you want where they belong on the left side.

16. Yeah, they moved it -- CTRL-R works, though
It's on the right-hand side of the address bar. I don't think it's particularly convenient, and have switched to CTRL-R exclusively. (I used to use the button sometimes, but not usually.)
