Apparently upon installation of an update to Firefox recently the layout of the buttons changed.

For what ever reason someone decided that it would be better to move the back and forward arrows to the right hand side of the menu placed at either side of all the icons for add-ons (why? this is stupid).

Then assuming we no longer needed to ever refresh/reload a page, the reload button was completely removed from the toolbar.

Now, I know it only took me 30 seconds to hit customize and put things back where they make sense to be, but still, whoever thought this new positioning for those buttons what a good idea needs their head examined lol.

Hi MilsonHQ, it sounds as though at least one part of your preferences data got a bit scrambled in the update. (In about:config, the order of toolbar buttons is stored in the browser.uiCustomization.state preference, and on disk, it's in the prefs.js file.)

The default toolbar layout for Firefox 64 (new installation, new profiles) has Back and Forward at the left end of the toolbar as in the attached screenshot.

Hopefully none of your other data got corrupted. If you don't make regular backups of your settings, maybe think about starting? Because "stuff happens."
