Add Custom Buttons to Firefox Toolbar - Easy Guide

Enhance Firefox with Additional Toolbar Buttons

Are you looking to expand the functionality of your Firefox browser with buttons not found in the default configuration? The Toolbar Buttons extension for Firefox offers a wide array of customizable options to suit your needs.

It’s worth noting that many of the buttons included within this extension are also compatible with both Thunderbird and Sunbird.

A Fresh Firefox Installation

After a new installation of Firefox, and the addition of your preferred extensions, you might find yourself wanting more helpful toolbar buttons.

The “Customize Toolbar Window” initially presents a limited selection. However, imagine having access to over 100 additional buttons – a truly beneficial prospect!

Extension Setup

Upon installing the extension, opening the “Customize Toolbar Window” is the recommended first step. This allows you to explore the extensive range of available buttons.

A diverse collection of tools is included, offering something for nearly every user.

Building a Personalized Toolbar

While the abundance of buttons is advantageous, you might prefer a more streamlined toolbar with only the essential tools. This is easily achievable!

The extension’s author has provided a method for selecting precisely the buttons you require and compiling them into a custom extension version.

To create a custom version, visit the author’s website (link provided below). You will be presented with two columns of buttons. Choose the desired options and click the “Make It!” button. Allow a few moments for the extension to be compiled.

Once your custom extension is generated, a download link will be provided. The filename will resemble the one shown in the screenshot; feel free to rename it for easy identification.

Save the extension to a convenient location, and then proceed to add it to Firefox.
