How do I restore the "X" "stop loading this page" button?
Mozilla recently changed the appearance of their Firefox start window slightly.. The "stop loading this page" button is no longer there, and it's not on the customize menu. How do I restore this? Better yet, can I return to the old window appearance? I liked it better.

The Stop button is displayed on the right side of the address bar. When the page is loading, the Stop button is displayed; when the page has finished loading, the Reload button is displayed instead.
If you want the old appearance and the Stop and Reload buttons on the left,
- Install Classic Theme Restorer and restart Firefox when prompted.
- Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
- Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
- On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
- Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
- Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
- Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.
That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.
- Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
- Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
- Press F5.
- Press Ctrl+R.
