Firefox toolbars

[cjsmith]

My GoogleFu is insufficient. Help me, LJ-Brain-Kenobi. You're my only hope.

I've got a cute little icon in my Firefox toolbar on my work machine. It's in the navigation toolbar, if this matters. I'd like to know exactly what it does so that I can then create another, just like it, to put on my Firefox toolbar on my home machine.

All I've found so far is the obvious stuff about how to drag things to and from these toolbars. I want to edit one.

Anybody know how this is done?

View / Toolbars / Customize and drag it into place in your favorite toolbar.

How can I change what it does?

So you want a custom icon to perform a custom action? Is that action “go to a particular web site” or something more complicated? There may be an add-on to do that.

Yep, just "go to a particular web site". There's got to be a way. For example, when I installed del.icio.us stuff, it put a little four-square icon up in my navigation toolbar, and that icon simply takes me to del.icio.us. Then I waited a while (my big mistake) before installing the same stuff at home. The new del.icio.us four-square icon puts in frames and menus and screws with my window layout and is generally completely unuseful. I would love to cut-and-paste the action from the old four-square icon (which I've still got a copy of on my work machine) and bring it home to replace the action taken by my home version's four-square icon.

Have you tried messing with the configuration on the new Delicious add-on? I’m using 2.0.72 and it has a “Switch to Classic Mode” button on the Preferences dialog. (Add-ons / Delicious Bookmarks / Preferences)

Mmm, thanks for the idea. I'll try that when I get home. (My old version, here at work, doesn't have that option.)
