Since changing to firefox today, the refresh button isn't at the top of the page. How do I get it back?

I thought the refresh button was a Windows icon, so why has it disappeared from my page since changing to Firefox?

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.
