I have a new pc, using windows 7, and first thing Ive noticed I cannot see a refresh page option. Very pesky. I am using Firefox, although may try Chrome.
My 2nd problem, I clicked contol>h for history, and when I clicked off it left the frame at the left hand side when I'm in online groups and games, like Zynga games, facebook. Its just the frame at the sidebar remains, making gameppages and facebook narrow. It isn't showing here, on this forum, I have the whole wide page!
Thanks!

For the first issue, the refresh page location depends on the version of Firefox you are using and which add ons are installed. In Firefox 10.0.1, the refresh button is here on my browser anyway.
refresh page.JPG (19.09K)
Number of downloads: 15
It was over to the right of the address bar until I started fiddling with things after adding another add-on.
I can't help with the second issue because I don't play games on Facebook or use other apps there. I have noticed, however, that when pictures are displayed now and clicked on, the comments and other things now show to the right instead of under, so it may be a Facebook thing and have nothing to do with your computer or choice of browser. Not sure though so hopefully, someone will come along who can help.

Thanks. I will check out the windows 7 forum.
Judy my refresh button isnt there, and I updated to FF10.01 the other day. As I'm thinking of trying Chrome, I may do that this evening rather than fiddling about with FF. No one else has reported the issue in F/B..my partners is fine, it only happened when I clicked control/h, and the space stayed there. Will report back thanks for your help.
Oh, where should I go to get Chrome? I'm scared of blag sites, seen a lot of phishing going around recently.

In Firefox, go to the top and click View>Navigation bar. That should make the refresh page button show up.

Re the refresh button. Go to view, then toolbars, then customise. A box will open showing loads of icons. Have a look in there to see if you can find the refresh icon. You then just simply drag & drop which icons you want/dont want either to or from the toolbar at the top. Click done to close the box when you've finished.
Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window.

I just refreshed this page by right clicking and clicked REFRESH..I've never done it any other way myself.
Good luck!
