Firefox - Additional Toolbars

TUTORIAL SOMEWHAT IRRELEVANT NOW

Edited 08/10/2022

While it is still possible to customize the toolbar area, it doesn't appear possible to add any number of additional toolbars like it used to be. Also, to customize the toolbar area, just right click the header over any area without a clickable button and select Customize Toolbar.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Awhile back I started using the Classic Theme Restorer (NO LONGER AVAILABLE) add-on with Firefox so that I could bring back the footer area as well as customize certain things that were no longer doable in Firefox itself. And I honestly thought that even without that add-on you could add more toolbars. I found out that that wasn't the case when I was using my sister's laptop one day. So to customize the number of toolbars on your browser, you will need to add the Classic Theme Restorer add-on to Firefox.* From there, it's pretty simple and I've included some print screens below to show you how.

Once Classic Theme Restorer is installed, click on the menu button.

Then click on CUSTOMIZE from the menu that pops up.

 
At the bottom of the screen you will see an ADDITIONAL TOOLBAR button to the left of the green Exit Customize button.  Click on that.

The menu that pops up from there will have an ADDITIONAL TOOLBARS area. Toggle up or down to change the number you would like. A restart of the browser is required to complete the process.

That's basically it. If you, for any reason, would like less toolbars at any given time you can always hide one or more instead of going back into the menu. To do that simply RIGHT CLICK on an empty area of the header portion of your browser. A menu such as below will pop up. Then all you have to do is check or uncheck a toolbar as needed.

As always, I hope this is helpful! :)

* An important note to make regarding Classic Theme Restorer. The add-on is considered a LEGACY add-on which means that it will NOT be compatible with version 57+ of Firefox. However, if I remember correctly, Mozilla is interested in incorporating some of the features from the add-on into version 57+. At this time I don't know what will be included. So this tutorial will likely become obsolete soon.
