Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 172818

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Internet Explorer allows Toolbars to be merged. Like Google Toolbar and Yahoo Toolbar being put into one.
Opera allows you to put buttons or individual bookmark icons anywhere you want.
Suggestions :
1. As Firefox 2.0 will undergo some major chrome changes maybe IE like Toolbar merged should be implemented ?!!!
2. Putting Individual Bookmark (also Live Bookmark) and buttons anywhere on Firefox (Tabbar, Status Bar, and between Bookmarks ?!?)

Reproducible: Always

The first part of your request sounds like Bug 328343 in any case.

Sorry not what I meant.
Try out IE, it will allow you to merge toolbars (multiple ones)

Since standard toolbar items can be dragged anywhere on the customisable toolbar set I don't really see what benefit you get out of the work that would have to go into the first point. That the yahoo toolbar and google toolbar are not customisable in the standard fashion is a choice by the developers that made those extensions, not anything that firefox forces on them.

You guys don't get it.
Forget about Yahoo and Google Toolbars.
What if I want my navigation toolbar and menu toolbar (the one with the menus) together. IE allows you to do this.

Would a screenshot be helpfull.

Attachment: Is this it?

Maybe a screenshot would help. This is what I think you're describing, having the menu and navigation bar on the same level. This is Firefox customised so that all the items from the navigation bar appear next to the menu bar.

How does your vision differ?

A screenshot without any extra explanation isn't very helpful. I have IE and have known you can move toolbars around like that.

I don't see how what you have done is very different from moving all the items from one toolbar onto the end of another.

You can't do that will Firefox. Merging two or more toolbars (not necessarily part of Firefox)

Let me give you an example. Download Googlebar (not Google Toolbar) and Yahoo Toolbar. Try putting them on one Toolbar. Do it with IE

Please don't request blocking flags (which means "I think this bug is so important that the next release cannot possibly ship without it") for unconfirmed bugs / if you don't know what you're doing.

As I said, the fact that those extensions do not allow you to do this is an issue with those extensions, they have chosen to make them uncustomisable. As my screenshot shows it is clearly possible to move the items from the navigation bar to the end of the menu bar.

Suggestions for UI changes or discussion of product X roadmap are better suited for the newsgroups (mozilla.dev.apps.firefox in this case)

Anyways, it's a dupe.
