This should be an easy one for someone.

After editing the HTML in Firebug, how do I reload the page (maintaining the edited HTML)? There is no reload button as shown frustratingly here, http://getfirebug.com/html, under "Inspect, edit, reload", which is exactly what I want to do:

enter image description here

Where is this button?!

Would be great if the answer had a picture. EDIT: Using Firebug 1.9.1

Clarification EDIT:

What I am trying to do: I am removing bad HTML code hoping that it will not mess up JavaScript code which I am guessing that it is doing. Assuming the HTML code in question is messing up JavaScript, and then I remove the offending HTML code via Firebug, is a reload necessary to then execute the JavaScript code properly?

    Not sure what you’re looking for. Here some facts:

    • If you edit HTML in Firebug then changes take effect immediately without hitting some buttons. When you reload the page then these changes are gone.
    • The button you posted is just right from the address bar and is the ordinary reload button from Firefox. Nothing from Firebug. Firebug just says when you reload the page it will highlight the same DOM element in HTML-View as before when the DOM-Element still exist.

    Hope that helps.
