309360 - navigation toolbar contains stop and reload button at the same time :-|

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 243244

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Maros Ivanco]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Navigation toolbar contains stop and reload buttons at the same time. A page can
be either in the state 'loading' or in the state 'loaded'. In the 'loading'
state, the only sound action, which should be accessible in the navigation
toolbar, is stop. When the page is 'loaded' the only sound action is reload. In
such case, the stop button should not be just rendered inaccessible, it should
not be there at all.
Actually, there is a possibility, that someone would like to reload page while
it has not been fully loaded yet. But this case is IMHO very rare and can be
easily mimicked by first stoping the page and then reloading it.
There is already the extension StopOrReload button, which acts exactly as I
think the stop and reload button should.
I realy do think this is the bug, rather than an improvement, despite the fact,
that the bug was introduced in the first browsers and persisted until now.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
There should be only one button at a time - either stop or reload, depending on
the state of the page.

that would mean you wouldn't be able to reload w/o pressing stop first.
