- Rated 5 out of 5by Ninja, 6 years agoGood except that it is not the same as screenshot shown. The reload button is before the bookmark icon. Also shift+click does not do hard reload due to limitation of the WebExtension API.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5979009, 7 years agoThis is literally the best add-on of it's kind and I think I've tried them all. Well done.
Edit: there's a problem when Firefox is in dark theme. The refresh button is completely black and not grey like it's supposed to be. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13690589, 7 years agoNo longer working since FF 58.0.1. Currently running version 0.0.6 of Reloader on FF 59.0.0 with OSX 10.12.6. It appears FF broke whatever was being used by this extension to actually display the button in the address bar with the 58.0.1 update.

Can't reproduce. Can't test macOS, but there shouldn't be any differences between platforms. Developer response

I tried the usual three recommended extensions for this, but none worked well as this one. Thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by recycler.fox, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by AbdAbd10, 7 years agogood add-on but can u make it at the end of the bar and when u middle click it it will reload in a new tap
- Rated 4 out of 5by Kevin K, 7 years agoReally appreciate having the reload/stop button back where it belongs. Only issue I have is that sometimes the stop button still doesn't work, in my experience if the connection is stalled on step "Performing a TLS handshake to [site]" it won't work.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe stop button won't work if the page you're navigating from is privileged (like the new tab page, add-ons manager or preferences). It's an API limitation and there's no way around it.
If you get it even in other circumstances and in a fresh profile, file a GitHub issue with more information (Support site link). - Rated 5 out of 5by totalcomputergeek, 7 years agoIs there a way to assign hotkeys for 'Hard Reload' & 'Empty Cache and Hard Reload'? Or only an addon-dev can do that?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis would have to be set by the extension. They're also non-configurable right now.
This is something I would add, though. I think only the "Empty Cache and Hard Reload" actually needs a shortcut, though.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13420189, 7 years agoFinally it's back where it made the most sense, just read that animation is not possible (at the moment I hope), but it would be great to force it to one side, if I use Magic Actions for YouTube for example the icon shows up in the adress bar as well, but after the reload button. And the tool tip says that 'Ctrl + R' reloads the page, but the F5 key is already reloading the page and 'Ctrl + F5' will perform a hard reload with cache cleaning.
- Rated 5 out of 5by lbacud, 7 years agoThis reload button is the best on in the add-ons store so far. It matches the colors and sizes based on themes, and it offers a stop option. All it needs is to animate like the built-in reload stop button.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoI've experimented with this idea. Unfortunately, I don't think it's really possible due to the way the APIs are designed.
