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?

I'm not totally clear on what you're referring to. If you move a function to the toolbar, that function should have an icon specific to its function. Your phrasing here sounds like you have an icon whose function you do not know but whose appearance you like, and you want to make it... do something else? What does it do now? What do you want it to do? It might be able to hack the icon used to represent a function in some way, but I'm not sure what your desired end result is.

Yeah, I have an icon at home whose function I do not like, and I've got an icon at work whose function I like. I'd like to hack the home one to act like the work one. :)

Huh. If it's just 'go to a website,' it seems like you could create a link to the website, stick it in your bookmark toolbar folder, and then hack the favicon that represents it (there are certainly favicon hacking extensions). But that might not be precisely the result you want.

Hmmmmmm, yes. That has possibilities. I know that things on the bookmark toolbar and things on the navigation toolbar can be moved between the two. (They retain their original nature, though; bookmark toolbar items have "Properties..." and navigation ones don't.) Then I could just hide the one I don't like. Hmmm.

[edit: crap. Navigation toolbar items can be moved to the bookmark toolbar, but bookmark items can only be moved as a group entire, up to the navigaton toolbar or not. Close... it's close.]
