How to move an icon an a toolbar from not visible to the vi

[Dirki]

How can I move that second icon from above near the mouse pointer to an area of that toolbar that is always visible?

Right click the toolbar and use 'Customize' drag it with the mouse to where you want it...

Well, yes, that was my thought, but how can I get access to that icon (?). It is not shown:

I can see it on the right-hand side!!
I had a similar thing with Downloads.
I set then unset "Auto-hide in Toolbar" and I think that solved it.
If that doesn't work try it in Customize.
There seems to be some sort of bug around that.

Is the addon a page action addon? If so, then try clicking the 3 dots icon in the address bar, then right click the addon icon, then select the "add to address bar" menu item.

uBlock Origin is a browser action addon. I can drag the uBlock Origin icon from the overflow menu to the toolbar using the customize tab.

Hi Dirki,
It won't be visible in the Customize palette.
To see the item, select Customize & you will have to "remove" a few of the other icons from the Tool Bar/s into the Customize palette until the 2nd icon becomes visible.
Then, you can reposition it....along with all the "removed" ones.
Those 2 icons/items in your image are in the "over flow" section of the Tool Bar.

Thank you very much!

The add on saves the entire page in a single html file.

Hello LIMPET235,

Now I have made it. Well, very strange method Firefox wants.

Many thanks!

You're welcome...



Yep.
It's just that there's not enough space on the Toolbar for all of "your required" icons....
hence the need for the overflow section.
Been that way for a long time though.

T'is a proper PITB trying to position your extension icons where you want them.

Note that there is "Move to Toolbar" in the right-click context menu although you may have to move another button to the overflow area to make space (right-click: Remove from Toolbar).

Sorry, where do I find it, where must the mouse pointer be then? And what for could I use it?

[LIMPET235]

Hi Dirki,
You have to hover over & right click on any extension's icon for the Context Menu to be available.
You can use it to change/exchange any of your required icons.

@ Dickvl...
Is the option to add another Bookmarks Toolbar still available, or has that been removed?
Ta.

Ah sorry, over the icon. Yes, I should have understood that. Thank you.

You can only have one Bookmarks Toolbar although you can use code in userChrome.css to have a multi-row Bookmarks Toolbar.
