Post your firefox "top section"

yantorsen · 8 Jan 2009 at 23:26

This may seem a bit odd, but I'm interested how people have the top of there firefox browsers laid out, what buttons, toolbars, themes etc they use.

Try to keep images no more than 1000px wide if possible to make it easier to follow for people with smaller screens.

Here is mine:

Do you do really long Google searches or something?

These days I just use the default theme with some rearrangement:

Desktop is exactly the same except Vista.

Yeah I often google questions and long sentances, and I don't find I ever type URLs because I have everything I use bookmarked.

it's part of the bookmarks toolbar. i gave up trying to get rid of it. when customising the icon layout if i move it i end up with a ridiculously long google searchbar:

it has a certain aesthetic value

you tried checking to see if everythings unticked in the toolbars menu (view, toolbars). Last time I had a spare 'bar' it was down to leaving one ticked

do you not use the google bar?

Dharok · 9 Jan 2009 at 00:25

All on one bar. I also personally never really find the use for the Google search bar. I prefer just hitting home (Google.co.uk), stuck over time.

if i do that the icon layout goes with it i think. i'm not going to try and emulate what i've just done, but i've managed to reduce the 'spacewasting' bar by a few pixels

i'm stumped as to the sort of terms i'm going to use with that bigger than average googlebar

you could move the google bar to the menu bar, then just remove the bar that google is currently in altogethor.
