I have several toolbars and they are not in the order I want them to be. I want to move a toolbar to the top and one to the bottom. How do I do that?

Once you are customising items they should just drag and drop.

  • use Firefox button -> Options -> Toolbar layout
    or right click in a vacant space on the toolbar and select customise/customize

Where is the firefox button?

SEE how do i customize the toolbars? <-- blue clickable link --

Firefox Button , that is the thing top left which is orange, or if in private browsing mode purple. You will see it in the pictures if you use the above link.

Alternativly use your mouse point it over a vacant part of a toolbar and right click, which will give a short dropdown menu.

Or try the following keyboard sequence Alt , V , T , C
(No need for capitals, do not hold keys just press, do not use the commas)

Once you have the popup window appearing the toolbars should drag and drop

None of this worked. It only gave the option to add or remove things from the toolbars, not the option to move the toolbars themselves. Thanks for trying though.

What are the several toolbars they presumably have names, I am not familiar with some of the sytem info you are showing
by default Firefox will have

  • menubar - that only displays permanently if the firefox button is not on
  • navigation toolbar - by default
    the location bar - you type web address into
    the search bar - that gives you extra search options
  • bookmarks toolbar - not the open tabs, part of the bookmarks system
  • add-on bar - this used to include the status bar, now it depends on your add-ons
  • tabs - this is always shown, the choice is to put it on top or not.

I have a google toolbar, Facebook toolbar, zynga toolbar, btjunkie toolbar, gamers unite toolbar.

Maybe someone using all those will help, but try the 'Add new toolbar option' add a couple of blank toolbars and see if that helps whilst customising and trying to drag and drop, or try dragging toolbars off the top of your screen and into the popup window.

I am not going to install all those myself to see what happens so I am only guessing at how it may work. An alternative may be to set up additional profiles, and use specific profiles for specific uses eg when gaming, but that is probably too much trouble.
