When your computer is slow and/or the page is loading slowly and/or the program is slow and you want to abort the page load, clicking the stop button can have no visible effect. So you click it again, thereby queuing up a command to reload the page. Only to a nerd with a perfect system on a T1 (i.e., to Mr. Spock) are stop and reload two sides of the same coin.

That version is in release candidate stage and very close to release: http://browsersphere.com/2010/01/09/firefox-3-6-rc1-released/ Since this was only very recently checked in to the trunk: http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/2010/01/12/2010-01-12-trunk-builds/ I'd say it's highly likely this won't show up until Firefox 3.7.
