1827071 - extensions cannot be added to toolbar all at once

Status: REOPENED

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Dan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/111.0

Steps to reproduce:

was looking for a way to add most of my 12 very important extensions into the toolbar with only 2 or 3 clicks.

Actual results:

It seems us users were forced into now having to manually add all extensions ONE by one...

Expected results:

After syncing a new profile with Firefox Sync, all addons should appear automatically in the toolbar to the left of the puzzle-icon, instead of the current totally different user-unfriendly behaviour with all addons being hidden behind that icon, OR a "toolbar-displayed addons"-state should be synced via FF sync aswell, so new profiles get the state (of which icons are in toolbar) from the sync-dataset.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Sync' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Actually not a duplicate I just realized, as we urgently need the ability to add all our 12 or so addons to the toolbar in one click after having synced our Sync profile with a Firefox installation on another device. Because it is still super frustrating, that when weeks after you synced to a new FF installation, you realize that still some important addons haven't been added to the toolbar automatically... (just happened to me a moment ago)

Will, do you / does UX have thoughts on this?
