Better Firefox bookmarks toolbar

I hate having "toolbars" under my address bar as it takes away real estate from webpages. Having said that, there are pages that I want access to with one click and not having to go to "bookmarks" and searching for them. I found a cool little way to have your cake and eat it to by moving the bookmarks toolbar items to the main file toolbar. They fill out the otherwise unused space between "Help" and your window controls.

  • Enable your Bookmarks Toolbar under View, Toolbars.
  • Go to View, Toolbars, Customize
  • Drag the "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" from the Bookmarks toolbar to the top bar next to "Help"

Now you can change those items around to have shorter descriptions so they fit. I ended up removing the names and going by just the icons. When you bookmark something that you want in there, just add it to the bookmarks toolbar and it pops up there. Brilliant!

Tom that toolbar tip rocks. But, you're still a pu55y. --steakmoney
