Customize Firefox Toolbars With Total Toolbars

Total Toolbars is a Firefox add-on that extends the options to customize the toolbars of the web browser. One of the biggest additions is the ability to control and customize the icons that are displayed in the Firefox status bar, something that is not offered by default in the Firefox web browser.

Several Firefox add-ons utilize the space of the Firefox status bar to display icons, text and information which cannot be moved around by default. Total Toolbars makes it possible to move these icons around so that the icons and information are displayed in the order that the Firefox user wants them to appear.

Toolbars can be customized easily by right-clicking them in the Firefox browser after the installation of the add-on. It is then possible to move the icons and information around. These customization options on the other hand are only one aspect of Total Toolbars. The add-on will also display a new context menu entry toolbar properties.

It is here possible to change several display options of each toolbar. This includes the view mode (icons, icon and text or only text), if the toolbar should be visible in full screen mode or if small or flexible icons shall be displayed. Even more important is the fact that these settings can be changed for each toolbar individually to mix the view modes of the toolbars.

Total Toolbars is available for download at the mozdev website. It is compatible with all versions of the Firefox 3 web browser.

      With compatible I meant that it works in the latest Firefox 3.6 beta even though you might need to force compatibility with the add-on Dresandreal Sprinklehorn suggested
