Single Toolbar Interface for Firefox

This is a video tutorial that I did a long time ago for one of the earlier versions of FHB that went by the name Xangelo (which is my online identity). It covers some handy features like customizing the Firefox interface and keyword shortcuts for search engines.

Since I work on a laptop primarily, screen space is of vital importance to me – the more I can see the better. I’ve taken the default firefox from it’s 3 Toolbar + Tab bars to a single toolbar + tab bar. To do this I utilized the “Customize” feature in the video above to drag all my elements around. I also used the ability to hide and show toolbars (they’re in the same menu as customize) to eliminate the unneeded ones.

My toolbar now looks like this, with the Navigation tool bar and Bookmarks toolbar disabled.
