Those are from CTR. Default uses a single Sidebars button for those and it is unaffected.

It appears that a patch to fix things with the button icons has been done. Details here.

Actually, the bookmarks button is the one that defaults to the right end of the bookmarks toolbar. It is the browser's button and not CTR's.

As to the history button, it does only appears in the Customize... palette after pulling the hamburger button off the nav toolbar, something that CTR does enable. I cannot say where it comes from.

Thanks for your other posts both here and in the Nightly thread. =D>

While I greatly appreciate these extensions, and the fact that they continue to be actively updated, I'm finding the recent flurry of minor updates to them to be rather tedious, especially for those of us that don't trust every Tom, Dick, and Microsoft enough to allow updates to our programs - any of our programs - to happen automatically. Couldn't you (I don't believe I'm saying this) do like Microsoft: pick one day a month and stick to releasing all your non-critical updates on that day?

Any addon currently available on addons.mozilla.org is signed. If you are expecting to see "-signed" in the file name, it was only appended to addons grandfathered in.

Thank you so much for making "All Tabs Restorer"! I was crying when Mozilla removed the feature, and was so happy to find your extension that got me the essential functionality back, thank you!

However, it stopped working since FF42. Is there anything I can help with to get it back to working state?

There have been a few changes recently that would have broken it. The first was a file referenced in "alltabs.xpi\chrome\content\browser.xul". "chrome://browser/locale/tabbrowser.dtd" used to hold the close tab tooltip. That's gone now so the line that reads

Code: Select all

tooltiptext="&closeTab.label;"/>
would need to be changed. The easiest thing to do is just change it to

Code: Select all

tooltiptext="Close tab"/>
It won't be localized, but that's not very important. The other thing is Mozilla changed how "let" works. In allTabs.js, the line

Code: Select all

let myAllTabs = {
would need to be changed to

Code: Select all

var myAllTabs = {
There is also a line near the bottom that reads

Code: Select all

let (boxes = this.container.childNodes) {
Keep in mind this extension was not my code, but I think you could probably change that to

Code: Select all

let boxes = this.container.childNodes
You'd also have to remove the

Code: Select all

}
4 lines later.

All of this won't help for long though. As soon as electrolysis (e10s) is enabled this extension will completely break. It would need a worker module that gets information from each tab and be mostly rewritten to compile the data into something usable. When I first released this extension I thought I'd start using it again. I used it before it was built-in to Firefox and then kept using when it was baked in. However, when it was removed, I started using Tab Scope to preview individual tabs and I never stopped. because of all of the work needed to get this to work with e10s, I have discontinued working on it.

I also won't release a version with these changes. I don't want to give people hope that I'm still working on it. I'll probably delete it from AMO soon.

Chris, I just upgraded from FF28 to FF42 (yup, I was holding out as long as I could). I've been using your "Hide Tab Bar With One Tab" ever since FF did away with that option. Now I have to endure tabs-on-top. Sigh. So I tried two different TabsOnBottom add-ons, and in both instances, the location bar drops below the bookmarks menu bar whenever I open a second tab. Ouch!

I scanned back through this thread and found comments where you explained the limitation with having multiple add-ons that change a binding.

Theoretically, would it be possible to accomplish both features if implemented in a single add-on? Would that get around the binding conflict, or still be the same issue? Reverting to FF28 isn't an option for me (to many website compatibility issues), and having to choose between two valued add-ons is a real bummer.

You can move the tabbar to the bottom (under all toolbars, just above the content) with a css, something like this:

Code: Select all

#navigator-toolbox > #toolbar-menubar
{ -moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important; }

#navigator-toolbox > #PersonalToolbar 
{ -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2 !important; }

#navigator-toolbox > #nav-bar
{ -moz-box-ordinal-group: 3 !important; }

#navigator-toolbox > #TabsToolbar 
{ -moz-box-ordinal-group: 4 !important; }
Use Stylish instead of userChrome.css 'cause you can preview your changes w/out restart.

@makondo, that seems to work fine with the "Hide Tab Bar With One Tab" add-on. I just had to swap the 2nd & 3rd positions to restore the nav-bar where I want it, above the bookmarks toolbar. I didn't know that was called the Personal Toolbar but I figured it out. Thanks!

You're welcome!
I'm not sure why would you need Hide Tab bar... ext. when there's an option in Fx (under general tab, at the bottom):

Wow. I'm running same version as you and I don't have that option. I checked in safe mode just to be sure there's no conflict with my css, Hide Tab Bar or any other add-on. I'm still running XP, so just in case that might be an issue, I checked on my Win 8.1 tablet, which also has FF42, and screen is the same. What's up with that? I'm guessing that yellow question mark might be a clue...
