I would like to move the reload button off of the location bar. I would also like to have a visible "forward" button as well as the back button.

Simple as that. Given that I have OCD, it's extremely unpleasant to have both the forward and back buttons not consistently visible. How can I return to that appearance?

I also want to separate the reload button from the location bar, as I had it before the update. I find myself reloading pages quite often, and having the button be smaller, and within the location bar, is well... kinda counter-intuitive.

Ideally, I would like to have it ordered, from left to right: back, forward, reload, location bar.

Firefox has always been very customizable, and very user friendly. A few hiccups here and there, sure, but you can typically get what you want done, one way or another. So can you guys help me out? This is driving me crazy. I have installed Classic Theme Restorer, and it doesn't change that I can't currently do this.

Keazen oplossing

The Classic Theme Restorer has a very rich set of features and some options may be difficult to find. I think the ones you want are in the set of checkboxes under "General UI" as shown in the screen shot on the Add-ons site:

Note that "Movable back-forward button" is turned on, and "Combine stop & reload" is turned off. Does that work for you?

Hi,

I understand that you want to customize the browser further than what the options that you are getting out of the box.

There's an add-on that will help you achieve the results you want. It's called Classic Theme Restorer and it can be found here.

I hope it helps, Ibai

You, sir, are a lifesaver. I didn't even see those options... somehow. Thanks for spotting what I overlooked. Thanks a ton!

Where is the forward button?

Hi Rose1, if you mean in the regular address bar of Firefox 29, the Forward button should appear after you have used Back.

If you mean in the Classic Theme Restorer, you first need to check the box for "Movable back-forward button" in its Options. Open the Add-on page using either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions, then click the Options button for Classic Theme Restorer. On the "Main" tab, under General UI, you will find this option. As you check and uncheck, Firefox shows the result of the change, so you should see the arrows appear on the right end of the main toolbar.

After finishing with this dialog, you can use Customize to drag them where you want them.

Any luck?
