How can I change the order (top to bottom) of toolbars
I've just upgraded to FX31. I have Classic Theme Restorer installed, and nothing too drastic has occurred. However, the order (top to bottom) of my Add-on toolbars has changed. How can I correct this ? I have tried disabling and restoring them, both singly and together but to no avail.
The toolbars are: Google Bar and Web Developer. I want Web Developer under Google Bar like it was before the upgrade, please.
I notice that although the Google Bar is listed on 'View > Toolbars' it makes no difference whether it's checked or not: it's always displayed unless I disable it as an add-on.
A minor matter, perhaps, but it's intensely irritating to have these things arbitrarily changed when there's an upgrade. I know I'm not alone in this.
Regards,
Tim Dawson

Move your mouse to the top of the Firefox window, then right click. You will see a menu of the available toolbars. Select Customize.
Thank you.
I'm familiar with Customize. It allows me to change the buttons that display, and the order of those buttons within a toolbar. I can also turn toolbars ON or OFF.
But I do not see any way to change the VERTICAL order of the toolbars themselves, which is what I want to do.
Maybe it will work if you edit the extensions.ini file in the Firefox profile folder to swap the order of the extensions that load the toolbars (make sure to adjust the Extension# numbers as well).
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Yes, thank you, that did work.
I was a bit flummoxed at first because the extensions.ini file showed the extensions with unhelpful ID names like 'c45c406...........xpi'. But then I noticed that they were all listed in the Troubleshooting information with both plain text and ID, so it was possible to pick out the two that needed swapping.
I use my Fx browser a lot for web development and it's really irritating when the layout gets savaged by an upgrade, particularly when the upgrade itself seems to offer no benefits (except perhaps a security fix).
Perhaps I spoke too soon (see above). The change I made worked until I enabled or disabled some other extension(s), whereupon the order of extensions in extensions.ini. reverted to what it had been before.
It would seem as though there's a 'master list' somewhere, perhaps reflecting the order in which the extensions were first downloaded. Registry ?
Firefox has now moved to v.32, and my toolbars have swapped their order again on screen and of course in 'extensions.ini'.
What is it that determines the order in 'extensions.ini' ? The order there isn't alphabetical and doesn't seem to follow the order in the 'extension' folder either.
