Adds a reload button to the browser toolbar. This is meant to accompany the stop button extension, so that they together provide separate stop and reload buttons, instead of the standard combined button.

User Reviews
Virtually a must-have due to Mozilla's stupidity, thinking a combined stop and reload button is a Good Thing(tm). You want to stop a page from loading because it's taking too long. Your brain has committed to clicking stop/reload, and your pointer is poised over the button. As your finger is flexing, the page finishes loading, the widget changes to "reload", and gets clicked. Now you have to wait AGAIN. This widget makes so much more sense, it means ONE thing: reload, not MAYBE stop, MAYBE reload as Mozilla envisions it.

Is Reload button Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Reload button requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
