My aim is for the e-mail icon to appear first at the top of the sidebar, then the calendar and then the address book. The default setting is e-mail, then address book, then calendar. Also, I would like to hide the chat icon completely. Is there a solution for this? Gladly also via userChrome.css...

Change the order of the spaces icons (see picture):

#mailButton,#calendarButton {order: -1;}
#addressBookButton,#tasksButton {order: 1;}
#chatButton {display:none;}


Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userChrome.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the above code. Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.
