Features & Capabilities

The "Reload button in Location bar" WebExtension revives the classic reload button directly in Firefox's location bar, reminiscent of the Firefox Australis look (versions 29–56). It enhances usability by providing a quick, intuitive way to refresh pages without relying solely on toolbar options. Users can customize their navigation bar by dragging the reload button off if desired, utilizing Firefox's Customize view.

To ensure optimal icon visibility, especially when using dark themes, enable the svg.context-properties.content.enabled setting via about:config. This addresses icon darkness through underlying SVG rendering fixes endorsed by Mozilla and related SVG Working Group updates. Improve your Firefox browsing interface with this practical and customizable extension.

Is Reload button in Location bar 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 in Location bar does not require any sensitive permissions.
