First of all, if you have the menu bar showing; (File-Edit-View-History-Bookmarks-Tools-Help), then you won't see the orange FireFox button because in the new version the FireFox button replaces the menu bar. You can make it look which ever way you prefer by clicking on 'View', then put your curser on 'Toolbars' and either check, or un-check menu bar. If you have the menu bar showing, click on 'View' then slide down to 'Toolbars', then move to the right and go down to 'Customize'; click on that. Then, when the next screen appears, even though 'Reload' is not shown on it, it is shown somewhere up on your toolbar. (Mine was above the Google Search Area). Put your curser on it and drag & drop it to the left of your address bar. The 'Stop' button must be further left than the 'Reload' button in order to get two separate buttons to perform those tasks. If the 'Reload' button is further left, then you get a single button that performs the tasks simultaneously. Hope this helps.

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.
To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
- Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
- If the menu bar is hidden on Windows or Linux use "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
- Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
- Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
- Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise (Space or Separator) to get two distinct buttons.
Wish there was a way to have separate STOP and RELOAD buttons that would always be present. While the "combo" approach may be slick, is just plain confusing to me (and it appears) other users. As for the solution cor-el has posted, unfortunately, I can't make it work in FF 11.0.
Thank you - Thank you - Thank you. Your instructions worked perfectly to restore the buttons FF12 to the way they used to be in FF3! Now if I could just get my bookmarks to work the way they used to in FF2 I would be a happy camper!

I am one of the 5 out of 12 for whom these directions did not work. Maybe, it is due to old-age (68) or stupidity. With step one, there were no Stop, Reload, or Go choices in the window that appeared. With step two, where is the "Firefox >..." segment of the process located?
