Firefox extension streamlining

December 3, 2005 5:21 PM

Need some firefox help. Is there any way to combine the toolbars from two different extensions?

I have been running StumbleUpon for some time, but I found a Skype extension I was also interested in running today. Both use their own toolbar, but neither fills the toolbar more than 50%. I would like some way to merge the two toolbars so that it takes up less of my screen real estate, is there any way to do what I am talking about?

Have you tried dragging the tool bars while in the 'customise' mode? (right-click toolbars and select 'customise'). I'm not familiar with the toolbars you mention, but I have successfully moved Googlebar and the WebDev toolbars to beside the main menu (file, edit, view...). However I have found this method doesn't work for all extension toolbars.

Best answer: Hmm I don't know if you can do this, but in the StumbleUpon bar you have a "placement" options in preferences.

There you can set it to be on the "menu bar" of firefox as I do

and you can use an compact theme as miniFox

Response by poster: Bam! I didn't fid that "placement" option in StumbleUpon on my first attempt to fix this. Got everything in a tolerable state now. Thank you

I'm pretty sure that you can move buttons around between just about any standard firefox toolbar. I just moved buttons from the Web Dev toolbar to one of the standard toolbars, and if I remember right, i did the same thing with Onfolio when I installed it.
