Have updated to Firefox 5.0 from 3.6. I now have forward/back buttons on left of browser bar; there is no Refresh button. Please can anyone tell me if there is an alternative to F5 to refresh page? Thank you

What i did was to relocate buttons was:
right click on tool bar, down to costumise. window should open... then I simply dragged them across with the mouse. to the left where i also prefer them.

Thanks Lik - is it possible to relocate it next to the forward/Back buttons?
when I updated to FF 5.0 I found that the refresh and home page buttons were to the right side of the address bar.
The button just to the right of where you enter the URL is now 'multi-purpose'.

When you type anything into the address field, it's a green arrow, which you can click on the access the URL you've entered.

While the page is loading, it become the red 'Stop' button, to terminate loading.

Once a page has loaded it becomes a white button (with a grey, circular arrowhead), which performs the 'Refresh' function.

Arksided - I looked at that. After clicking customise the window opens but there is no Refresh button listed.
sir.prize - this has just worked for me.

From the "Customise" panel, drag a "Space" to the left of "Refresh" then drag "Refresh" to the right of the "Forward/Back" arrows, finally drag the "Space" back where it came from & click "Done"
...Using the "Space" also allows you to undo the change

LiK - Amazing. Thanks a lot. However did you find out how to do that?
Honestly? I was just playing around - I'm amazed that I've solved something in this section!! Glad it worked for you :-))
me too! :-)
Why not just 'right click' on the web page you want to refresh and select 'Reload'
Simples.
