Firefox 50 - googlebar lite

Post by butchylewis »

I am currentle using Firefox 50. I also use Googlebar Lite. In previous versions of Firefox had in this order, Menu Bar, Navigation Bar, Googlebar lite, and Tabs. Now in Firefox 50, Googlebar Lite is above the Navigation Bar. Is there a way to correct this?

Hi,
Have you tried re-arranging them via the "Customize" option?

Yes, I have tried the customize option, but when you close, or restart Firefox, it resets with Googlebar Lite on top, and Navigation Bar on bottom.

Thanks for the input, but afer enabling Multiprocess Windows, I'm still stuck in the samre situation. Used to, when you would customize, could grag and drop toolbars, and they would stay in place. Late there was a drag n' drop addon on. Now I'm just stuck. I can move the the Googlebar where I want it, but after close, or restart it resets.

I suppose that the position of that bar would/should be a prefs-related type of thing... so, maybe something in this doc. will help... :?:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved

Also, just to see what happens in a clean/new profile... do this...

And,.... DON'T TOUCH THAT "Choose Folder..." BUTTON! ... unless you fully know all about it.

... then install just that one extension and then attempt to set it up the way you want... let us know the results.

Well folks, it was an issue with another add-on. Thanks dfoulkes, the article on preferences gave the idea to check the add-ons. A thank you also to mightyglydd, and LIMPET235 for your input.

The add-on that caused the problem is called "Tabs on Bottom"

I have this code in my userChrome.css file and it's been working fine for years...
That file name must be created with the Cap C in order for it to work... info about that stuff is in here... but if you have a problem.. post back...PS... Wordpad is best to use when messing with creating that file.
UserChrome.css - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

Code: Select all

/* Tabs on Bottom */
  #TabsToolbar {
      -moz-box-ordinal-group: 100!important;
    }


    #urlbar {max-width: 500px !important}

    #PersonalToolbar {
          -moz-box-ordinal-group: 80!important;
        }

Try this code in userChrome.css to have the Tab bar on bottom:

Code: Select all

/* tabs on bottom */
#navigator-toolbox toolbar:not(#nav-bar):not(#toolbar-menubar) {-moz-box-ordinal-group:10}
#TabsToolbar {-moz-box-ordinal-group:1000!important}
You can open the Browser Console ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer).
Set devtools.chrome.enabled to true on the about:config page to enable the command line.
https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Browser_Console

Paste the JavaScript code in the command line.
Press the Enter key to evaluate the JavaScript code.

This code evaluated in the Browser Console will show the value of -moz-box-ordinal-group for all toolbars.

Code: Select all

var mw = Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
var doc = mw.document;
var nav = doc.getElementById('navigator-toolbox');
var elm = nav.getElementsByTagName('toolbar');
var i, inf='',moz='-moz-box-ordinal-group';
for(i=0;E=elm[i];i++){inf+='#'+E.id+' {'+moz+': '+doc.defaultView.getComputedStyle(E,"").getPropertyValue(moz)+' !important;}\n';}
console.log(inf);
