How to move FireFox 4 reload button?

How to move FireFox 4 reload button?

Hopefully every one has upgraded their FireFox to version 4, but the bad thing about it… the movement of the reload button. Most of us were use to the refresh button to be next to the “back” and “forward” buttons. Which forced some users to switch to Chrome (Great browser btw!) Also would like to mention, many people don’t know the work around to make their FF4 appear as FF3. I’m going to go over that now...


edit: (an even simpler method has been suggested)

Quick way is to right click on one of the FFox icons and choose Customise

Yep. Was finding the extra travel of the mouse to the default position of the reload button and with the new bigger display, beer bottles were being bumped off the desk left and right.  :o

It's not that we never figured it out, it's that we never had a need to figure it out.  ;)
