401410 - Merge "Reload" and "Stop" buttons; add "Tab" button

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 51129

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Charles]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.24 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Build Identifier: 

In the toolbar of the browser, there are two separate buttons for "Reload" and "Stop" but we could merge them, as you can only stop loading when it's loading and you can only reload when it's stopped loading. So when you are loading the page, display the "Stop" button, and when the page is loaded, display the "Reload" button.

Then there will be a placeholder instead of the "Stop" button. I suggest adding a "New Tab" button so that newcomers discover tabbed browsing. Granted that you can hit "Ctrl-T" but not everybody knows about it. Also, there's a "New tab" button when you have a new tab open, in the left-hand side, but until you have a new tab open, you don't see this "New tab" button. So removing this "New tab" button and adding one in the task bar would be more useful.

Reproducible: Always
