I've been using Firefox for iOS because it had a reload icon at the bottom of the screen that made it super easy to reload the web page you were on. But in the most recent update, it seems Mozilla has removed this button and replaced it with a new tab button to open new tabs. Now there is no reload button anywhere on the visible screen. It is only hidden in a menu, which I feel is ridiculous.

I know Safari and some others have reload buttons at the top of the page, which i find a poor place to put them as it's hard to reach for me. But at least it's on the screen.

So now I am looking a new browser that has a reload button at the bottom of the screen. I found one but they want $4.99 a month as a subscription fee. So if anyone knows of one, I would appreciate any info on any possibilities. TIA.

Not sure how your Firefox is set up, but I can see the reload button to the immediate left of the address bar, not hidden in a menu:

Mine is doing this. I have to exit the app and then reload it and I may see the reload icon. But then it goes away again.

OK, I see you're on your iPhone so I downloaded it to mine to check. When I go to any site, that reload icon is there in that position as shown on your screenshot. But I can understand how it is when you get used to icons being in a certain position and then they change.
