FireFox Adds Toolbar Customization

By Steven Matthews

Not that Firefox wasn’t the most customizable browser already, but the upcoming edition will allow you to add and remove elements from all installed toolbars – paring your experience down to a single row, if desired.

As someone who currently uses three rows of toolbars, plus the area taken up by in-browser tabs, screen real estate is always an issue. Moving to larger monitors & screen resolutions does help,  but it remains a constant balance between adding functionality -vs- viewable area. Knowing that I’m overly reliant on my ‘bookmarks toolbar’ – which I jam as many essential links into as possible – the idea of consolidating the rest of my browser experience into a single toolbar is very appealing.

For many of us, the browser is now our primary computer interface.  Anyone else care to share a tip on making that experience more productive?
