I'm wondering how that Amazon and Ebay button got to the right of the menu button. If it's the add-ons doing that unilaterally, without the user choosing, I think we should try to curb that behaviour.

I suggest that we only allow things to go to the right of the menu button if the user has installed an add-on that makes the menu button moveable.

TBH, this basically means the add-ons are manually adding (non-movable) buttons to the navbar. Short of a DOM mutation observer, I don't really see what we can do about that (and I think adding a mutation observer is worth the effort).

IMO, we should tell add-ons that do this to fix their add-on for the next version, and enforce this through AMO.

Egh. I meant, I *don't* think this is worth the effort.
