Hi everyone. I just installed FF6 and I noticed that there isn't an option to show a "reload webpage" button anymore. I used to have Home, Reload, Stop, and New Tab.

Now, however, the Reload button only shows up sometimes.

How do I get it to show up all the time? There are times when it would be useful to have, rather than only having it show up with FF thinks it is necessary.

Chosen solution

Firefox 4 and later use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.
If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.

The combined button shows Reload, when it is possible to use it, or Stop when it is possible to use that.

You are still able to customize the toolbars, the buttons will undock from the end of the location bar. You may have to reverse their left to right order or physically separate them if you want separate buttons to display.
