Details

Currently to configure which toolbar items are shown one needs to go to in to the settings panel which somehow feels a bit awkward and hard to discover.

Compare:

Edge: lets you turn on/off panels from the tab overflow menu
Chrome: let you turn on/off panels from the "More tools" item from the kebab menu
Safari: lets you turn off panels from the X icon next to each tab and then enable them by pressing a "+" button which brings up a full-panel selection widget

It looks like this overlaps with bug 1239859 quite a bit.

Should we dupe this to that bug?

I'd like to leave it open for now. Configuring and discovering are not quite the same although it seems likely whatever solution we arrived at will cover both.
