Memeory upgrade and switch to Firefox

A stupid question as a result of a conversion.

I just made a step and went from 512 to 2 GB on my hp Pavilion and had Firefox installed. 9Windows XP, sp3)

I had someone install the new memory, physically clean out the tower, clean up the programs and install Firefox and an associated virus program in addition to getting rid of my McAfee as suggested by many. - Very ggod and very reasonable, not like the Geek Squad.

I am getting through the differences between the IE and Firefox, but have a few problems getting the new to work with or fit my habits.

What my immediate problem is, that I always was able to find a refresh icon to refresh something since I go to some sites that require an immediately refresh to over-ride the condition when I was last there. How can I get get refresh on a toolbar?

I am sure I will have other problems in the future, but problem at a time.

My next chore is to pick out a 22" monitor that will fit my situation. With the radically different prices by day, it could be a timing challenge.

Thanx in advance.

Dick

To add the Refresh icon, actually it called the Reload page, check the 'Navigation Toolbar' option under the View->Toolbars menu bar item.

mine loaded as a default. It is a blue circular arrow just to the right of the back and forward arrows.

I actually cannot find a way to remove it if I wanted to, which I don't.

Nap -

Thanx for the hint.

I customized the toolbar, but did not recognize the icon because of my familiarity to IE. - Makes things easier and i am learning to adjust. Soon I will learn what the great claimed benefits of Firefox are.
