Since downloading Firefox 4, I no longer have the Google search bar in the center of the page. And there is no refresh icon at the top of the page anymore. Any help would be appreciated. t

I can only search by using the yahoo tool bar now, or going directly to google.com which I prefer, (since I like google) but cannot bookmark what I was searching for once I find it. And no refresh icon? Don't understand.

To fix: Left-click to the left of the down arrow in the search bar and go to "Manage Search Engines..."

Click the "Restore Defaults" button in the bottom-left corner of the window.

For the Search Bar:

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Back%20and%20forward%20or%20other%20toolbar%20items%20are%20missing#w_restoring-the-default-toolbar-set

If you don't see the Search bar after you RESTORE the Default Toolbar Set:

View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the SEARCH BAR to wherever you prefer.


For Refresh Button:

It has been incorporated into the far right end of the Address Bar. When you load a page, it is a "Stop" button, when it finished loading, it turns into a "Reload" button.

If you want it to be somewhere else in the Toolbar, you can drag it out to wherever you want. If that doesn't work, try this:


View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the Refresh/Stop icon into the window, then drag it back out to wherever you prefer.
