I just added the latest Firefox browser to my Win7 machine, and I cannot find "Refresh" anywhere!

Help!

Go to 'view > toolbars > customize' then you can customize what buttons are up there. You can also press CTRL + R to refresh.

If not mistaken, I think it's just to the right of the address bar.

Ah yes, and I just found that out after following Vigilans' instructions and clicking "Show Icons and Test". The button was there all along, but my old eyes had not noticed it!

I am now a "100% Firefox" button clicker (browser user), and I will be installing it in computers for at least three other people over the next couple of weeks or so.

Oops, typo for me, and I just fixed "not" to NOW"!

I've been using the browser for years, I love it. A couple of pretty useful extensions for Firefox, if you're interested:

https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere - https everywhere - defaults to http secure for several web sites (not WP, though...)

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/ - flash block - prevents flash videos/advertisements from loading automatically, instead presenting a blank square with an 'F' that you can click to view the video (useful if you're on limited download). Also works for silverlight if you turn it on it in the options menu

I first began using it during all of my multi-platform-multi-boot "trials" several months ago, but then I just "gave up" and stuck to all-Win for a while even thought doing that was far from what I would have preferred ... and now in the dual-boot machine I am presently setting up for one of my grandsons, no link to IE can be found anywhere!
