Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good god, the Google Voice charges for calling Jamaica are dramatically lower than my other options. Verizon charges me $.38/minute, at the very lowest. Although it looks like $.76 on my bill. T Mobile charges me discounted .34 and .48 (mobile). Google is .09 and .22. Sheeit. I'm totally doing that from now on.

I did that with a few other buttons, Gud, but Refresh isn't listed.

Maybe it's a Firefox 5 thing. On my FF 5, when you customize the bar, the refresh button splits off the URL box and you can move it. It doesn't appear in the dialog box with the various buttons, though, you have to move it on the bar to get it to it's old place.

I know, right?! A good chunk of our phone bill was calls to Canada, but via GV those are free! I have noticed a little latency, but not enough to bother me.

Loved that. I had an order with a Canadian company, and had to pay via visa credit card. UC rules say can't do it via e-mail, and the vendor didn't have the ability to do it via website. GV to the rescue, as the UC phone system apparently blocks int'l calls.

Okay, like this...

Select "Toolbar Layout..." from the options. [link]

Then ignore the dialog box it brings up and drag the refresh button to where it once lived before. [link]

Click done and you have the classic refresh button position. [link]

Yeah, apparently they decided they don't like the decimal point anymore.
