Why is the current solution (one additional click) not sufficient? Why do you so often have to refresh/stop loading a page?

Sometimes I need to refresh webpage frequently to make it up-to-date, besides, this trick sometimes useful to bypass gov's censorship firewall.

And, "Stop" button in URL bar is available on Fennec 68 (legacy Firefox for Android).

Thank you for reporting this issue.

As part of the toolbar redesign, we no longer have a refresh button, but you can enable pull to refresh by going to Settings -> Customize -> Gestures -> Pull to refresh

As far as I know, there are no plans to add a Stop button.

Please let us know if Pull to refresh works for you.

Thank you.

But "Pull to refresh" only available when the page is on the top.

Pull to refresh is not dependent on the position of the toolbar, so it should work as long as it is enabled in Settings.

Please let's know if the steps above work for you.

Thank you.

I think you maybe misunderstand. I mean "Pull to refresh" only work when the webpage - not toolbar - is on the top. By the way, in fact, Refresh/Stop button is hidden when screen on portrait mode, the button will shown when the screen on landscape/tablet mode.

I second this. Reload button in the toolbar is very handy and I use it all the time in other browsers. It allows you to quickly refresh the page without the need to scroll it to the top to use pull to refresh, or open the main menu.
