Here are the 2 screen shots!

Screen shots below... See cursor at top... Down arrow in toolbar only appears if I hover cursor over it... Extremely annoying... Please help!!

Actually the cursor isn't showing up on the screen shots... But you can see the arrow in the toolbar in the 1st photo versus the 2nd... It's only appearing when I move the cursor over it... That down arrow used to be there permanently... I want it back

That button has a opacity:0 by default as you can see if you open this CSS file via the location/address bar.

• chrome://browser/skin/browser.css

#urlbar:not(:hover) > .urlbar-textbox-container > .urlbar-history-dropmarker {
  opacity: 0;
}

You can use code in userChrome.css or Stylish if you prefer that to override this rule.

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#urlbar:not(:hover) > .urlbar-textbox-container > .urlbar-history-dropmarker {
  opacity: 1 !important;
}

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

That's ridiculous to do all that coding... There must be an easier solution

It is not that difficult.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

• Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

You can perform these steps:

• Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
• Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
• Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
• Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
• Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
  Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

Waaaaaaayyyy too much trouble... I don't even see a "Help" button on Firefox

Yeah, if there is an easier solution... Which I'm sure there is... Please let me know... Anyone??????

You can tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar with the Help menu or use the "?" button at the bottom in the "3-bar" menu button drop-down list.

click on the = (actually 3 bars) on the top right, go to bottom of list, click ( customize ), you should see the arrow, just hold right click and drag to your prefered location on the menu bar... hope that works for you-all !

Hi catraveler, the poster is referring to a triangle in the URL bar itself, it's not a separate icon you can move around in Customize mode.

In another thread, someone asked to make it persistently visible AND easier to click with less mousing precision. I posted a custom style rule for that here:

https://userstyles.org/styles/122133/url-bar-dropmarker-double-wide

You can apply custom style rules by first installing the Stylish extension, or by clicking the "Show CSS" link on that page and copying the code into a userChrome.css file as described earlier in this thread. I use Stylish because its editor has a convenient preview button making it quick to experiment.
