Thanks for the tip. It worked initially, after I’ve moved stop button on left side of reload button. But after restarting FF it started showing stop button every time reload button pressed, until I moved stop button to the right side and back to the left side…

Using FF3.6

Great tip, worked like a charm! Thatâ€™s one more extension now uninstalled.

[...] Beide Symbole gleichzeitig darzustellen ist unnÃ¶tig, z.B. der Safari-Browser nutzt nur einen Button fÃ¼r beide Funktionen. Genau dies werden wir auch machen. Man kann dafÃ¼r die Erweiterung Stop-or-Reload Button verwenden, nach Installation und Browser-Neustart ist dann nur noch ein Symbol vorhanden. Alternativ kann man das ganze auch ohne Erweiterung erledigen, Details siehe unter Merge Firefox Reload/Stop buttons, extensionless (Englisch). [...]

Opps, sorry for making that go across the screen, edit out the last Userchrome hack altogether if you want/can.

Not too sure about it really. It assumes that the stop and reload buttons are mutually exclusive – that they could never be used at the same time. And there are times when both could be useful, so I’ll miss this.

My Userchrome has in it:

/*Find toolbar adjustment to show options in find-as-you-type*/
#FindToolbar > * {display:-moz-box}

/* Hide bookmark toolbar folder in bookmark menu*/
menu[label="Bookmarks Toolbar Folder"],
menu[label="Bookmarks Toolbar Folder"]+menuseparator {
display: none !important;
}

/* Remove Web Search from Tools Menu */
menuitem[label="Web Search"] { display: none; }
menuitem[label="Web Search"] + menuseparator { display: none; }

/* Hide For Internet Explorer Users & Release Notes from Help Menu */
menuitem[label="For Internet Explorer Users"] { display: none; }
menuitem[label="Release Notes"] { display: none; }

/* Less toolbar button spacing */
toolbarbutton {
padding: 3px !important;
}
toolbarbutton[type="menu-button"],
toolbarbutton[type="menu-button"]:hover,
toolbarbutton[type="menu-button"]:hover:active,
toolbarbutton[type="menu-button"][open="true"],
toolbarbutton[type="menu-button"][disabled="true"],
toolbarbutton[type="menu-button"][disabled="true"]:hover,
toolbarbutton[type="menu-button"][disabled="true"]:hover:active {
padding: 0 !important;
}

/*remove the Go button*/
#go-button { display: none !important; }

/* Remove the search-go-button and fix searchbar spacing */
#go-button-stack,
.search-go-button-stack {
display: none !important;
}
#search-container {
margin-right: 7px !important;
}
/*Resize search bar*/
#search-container { width: 200px !important; }

/*Menu icon (for Tiny Menu extension)*/
menu#tinymenu {
background: 50% 50% no-repeat

I forgot to mention: the Stop button must be just before the Reload button for this hack to work. I\’ll update the article now.

Cool idea, but it doesn’t quite work for me. The reload button always displays, and the stop button shows up beside it while a page is loading. I’ll poke at it tomorrow if nobody posts a solution before then. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I’m using the iFox Graphite theme.

Another great way is to install the Stylish extension (http://userstyles.org/stylish) and then load the “Combine Stop/Reload Buttons” style from userstyles.org (http://userstyles.org/style/show/10). No mucking around with the userChrome!
