Help! Refresh button and bookmarks

dandysmom · 02-07-2011, 11:00 PM

I'm trying to cope with my new Mac and Firefox 5. The Refresh button at the top left of the screen has vanished; I can't play the quiz without it!!

Also, now when I bookmark a page, and then click on Bookmarks, it shows but doesn't take me to that site as it used to do with the old Mac and Firefox, what am I doing wrong and can someone help???

I'm not too sure about firefox, I've never used it, but if you press F5 that will refresh your page for you.

Not sure Eileen - forgot I was on chrome right now for a moment and went to check what version of Firefox I have running, to find out that's no good.

Will be at parents later on this week (Fri though...) so am happy to check and see what they've got then (they are using firefox, so...) if you still confused then.

I find if I do a right mouse click there is a "reload" option which works the same, but I have a PC which I know is different, even though I use Firefox.

Disregard the part about the bookmarks; I have that working OK now. But I really really need my Refresh button ... hope one of the few Mac users here can help! Thanks all anyway.

I have Firefox 5 (but I'm PC) I have a refresh button right of centre at the top, on the right-hand edge of the address box. I suppose it must be different on a Mac.

That post about the F5 key was correct! It works, thanks so much, lynz!

You could click in the address bar (where it says www.catsey.com/whatever-thread-you-are-viewing) then press enter

Thanks, but I've got a Refresh now with F5
