Combine the Stop and Reload buttons into a single button.
---NOTE--- IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS, THIS WON'T WORK AS EXPECTED!
You have to right-click on the toolbar, select "Customize" and reverse the position of the Stop Button and the Reload Button as shown in the "Before" screenshot below.
You do that by dragging the "Stop" button to the other side of the "Reload" button.
Then click on "Done".

@Peter Gadd and Desi911 read the author's directions. You have to move the refresh button to right of the stop button. *****

Desi911 said on Jun 24 2008

Yup same problem as Peter Gadd said. I guess the script hasn't been updated since FF3 came out. Used to work great with FF2. No worries...I'll wait :D ****

Peter Gadd said on Jun 23 2008

Strange - after installing this script and clicking on the 'reload' button, whichever button is next to the reload button changes to the 'stop' button (on my FF3 it is the 'home' button).
I thought the purpose of this script was for the 'reload' button to become the 'stop' button and v.v. Can anyone help please? *

Works perfectly on FF3. *****

So simple, its magic. But can CSS make me a grilled cheese sandwich too?
Thanks! *****

Very nice. Works well with FF3 RC2. *****

ShAdY said on May 21 2008

it's possible to do like safari, that, when page is loading the button stops and when page is already loaded the button refreshs? ***

Was about to complain about it in 3.0b5, but after I reread and saw that I had to change the order of the stop/reload buttons, it works now.

Isn't reload/stop the default order though? I don't remember switching the buttons myself before... ****

vbielawski said on Apr 24 2008

Nice. *****

Dman said on Apr 15 2008

That's really nice!

@conen: If you see both at once when loading, make sure the buttons are in the correct order. I forgot that.

Something I've been looking for a while now! Awesome work! *****

I used to use a plugin that combined these two buttons. But, I soon realized that it's much easier to just hit Esc instead of using the mouse to click stop. Then you just need to remove the stop button from the toolbar and you are all set.

slippiefist said on Apr 22 2007

This works perfectly on Flock! Thanks very much. Opera style! *****

canen said on Apr 18 2007

There seems to be a problem with this style and the Whitehart theme. When a page is actually loading the two buttons separate then go back together once loading is complete. The Stop-or-Reload extension seems to work fine though.

I find that I like it the same way. Thanks for the code! *****

hughman said on Mar 06 2007

I find it more usefull to place the button refresh before stop than the opposition, in fact. In this case, when a page is loading, the stop button will appears automatically, and when the page has been loaded, it will disappear. Otherwise, if the page has not been loaded completely and at the moment you want to refresh the page, you have to click twice.:) *****

Now that's nice, real nice ****

Lysias said on Feb 27 2007

Works as intented. Good job! Nice to get rid of one more extension by using a Stylish script. *****

Kingsley said on Feb 22 2007

cool!

falcon212 said on Feb 12 2007

great job !

brim4brim said on Jan 21 2007

Not much to say other than it does what it says it does so if you want to combine these two buttons then this does it.

Would prefer not to have had to modify the button layout first but I'm sure theres a reason for it. *****

myf said on Jan 13 2007

Worth to include directly to the userChrome.css *****

Scott G said on Jan 10 2007

Another logical Combine Stop/Reload buttons style !!

Why don't the FF developers spend time doing "logical" coding like this instead of wasting time what the backspace button does ?

Jaymoon said on Nov 29 2006

Works perfect! I kinda got used to this setup with Flock, but once Firefox 2.0 came out, I never noticed I loved the Stop/Refresh as one button feature so much. *****

This is one that you don't want to be without. Nice, simple, and always works. *****

Wonderful! Much better than an extension to handle it. *****

medigerati said on Jul 06 2006

Brilliant idea. Easy install and very handy. I'm all for reducing space! *****

jakev said on Jun 28 2006

Worked perfectly.. and the idea makes sense. nice job. *****

Lavve said on Jun 13 2006

Love it!
It doesn't work with the IE Tab extension though. It shows the stop button all the time...
Thanks dougeeebear! *****

ardbeg said on Jun 10 2006

This is a classic "this should be standard" modification. This style lets me get rid of an extension, since obviously three lines of code is more efficient. *****
