FF21. I have icons from several extensions showing. In customize mode, thee rightmost three are locked in place and grayed out with diagonal stripes. What does this mean? How can I free them?

Some add-ons provide both an add-on bar icon and a status bar icon. To check if that's the case, open the Add-ons Manager, Extensions category. Click the Options button next to the add-on in question.

You can make the whole status bar shim movable with the UI Fixer extension. It allows you to move the whole group of icons with a diagonal stripe background, not the individual icons themselves.

It used to be possible to rearrange icons within the status bar shim using the Organize Status Bar extension. It was last updated for Firefox 4, so it may no longer work. One review says it works with Firefox 18 (while the current version is Firefox 21).

More technically-minded users can rearrange icons using Stylish.

For example, the following style ensures the NoSquint zoom level indicator is displayed after the Linkification icon.

#linkification-status { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important; }
#nosquint-status { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2 !important; }

That striped area on the add-on bar is the legacy statusbar container, and retains the limitations that the legacy statusbar had in Firefox versions before Firefox 4.0 - namely the user couldn't move icons without install an extension like Organize Status Bar . Those icons can't be moved as can be done with true add-on bar icons.

Thanks -- that was it. I had SimpleClocks set to display in the Status bar. After I changed to to display in the toolbar, all is well.

I appreciate your prompt replies.

The Organize Status Bar extension mentioned above worked liked a charm for me, and I'm using Firefox 24.0. It's a ridiculously small thing, but not being able to reorder my Status Bar icons was driving me crazy.

What a relief!
