For the longest time now the refresh icon in the address bar will not work. I did the uninstall and then re-install and it still will not work. I have never had this problem until recently. I wish developers would just leave things alone and really limit the options available. Keep it simple. A refresh icon people. One of the most simple and basic functions used daily with any web browser has suddenly become something that's an add on or a rigorous series of maneuvers must be performed in order for it to function or be made available. This is just one of the many issues I have with Firefox as they continue to "better" their product. It worked far better 5 years ago than it does today and it did a lot more back then that it will not do now. I cannot bookmark pages either and haven't been able to for a very long time. What ever happened to "CTRL-D"? Why make it so hard and confusing? I just used to have a list of pages I bookmarked. No need to sort, archive, label, or anything else with them. Just bookmark the page and save it in the dang list so I can scroll down and see them all in chronological order. It's maddening to me what you've done with Firefox. It's not been made better, it's been made so much more laborious to get simple and easy tasks done.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...
