At least Firefox still has a decent-sized document reload button unlike (ahem) IE7. I swear the first time I ran IE7 I searched for 5 minutes looking for the blasted refresh button!

Actually, no. The button size is not a feature of IE, but of the Windows environment. And hence, Windows 95 and 98 have the biggest button (32x32 _plus_ text), see

XP has only a 32x32 without text, and so does Firefox.

IE7... I don't even want to look.

Icons with Text in Firefox

Icons without text is the default for Firefox, but by right clicking and selecting customize a user has the option to select icons with text instead. (For most users the text would be a waste of valuable screen space but there's no accounting for taste.)

I wouldn't be surprised if IE had a similar feature somewhere.
