icon addon for ctrl+b ?

Post by GudgeonPin »

Hi, when using a tablet I have to pop up the OS keyboard for Ctr+B to show/hide the bookmarks. Anyone know of an addon that will emulate this.

I know there is a Customize button for the bookmarks but that shows a floating one. I like the bookmarks docked on the left side of the screen.

Thanks.

Thanks, that helped.

But, Dan, it is NOT mobile, it is the full windows 8.1 and the normal FFx.

So, you want a toggle button for the sidebar?

Hey, Mozilla... are you sure you wish to do this? (bug 1121291)

In the Customize deck there's a button for Sidebars which will allow you to control all sidebars, including ones from extensions.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

I've never found that Sidebars button to be all that useful for just Bookmarks. Using the [Show your] Bookmarks button (popup panel) and clicking/tapping on the first item (View Bookmarks Sidebar) does the same thing. If I were also interested in the History sidebar, then I'd rather move the History button next to the Bookmarks button and use the first item there. And if I still wanted more/other stuff in a sidebar, then there's an extension I'd use. Of course, for one-click buttons that just toggle the sidebar(s), there's a bunch of extensions.
