Brevity - Sister: Extending Useful Space in Firefox

I use Firefox. A matter of habit, love of settings for my interests, speed and other features made me like this browser a few years ago. I also sometimes use Opera, Safari, and Maxthon , but today we will focus just on fire fox and a way to squeeze out of it the maximum .

I want to share with you a little trick that will expand the usable space in your Firefox. If you have a 30-inch monitor, then this article will be more entertaining, but I ask the rest under cat.

Typically, in Fox, the top bar is occupied by the main menu, in the second go the address bar and search bar, and in the third - the main bookmarks. In general, this is convenient, but if you want to save space, you can all three linesfit into one .

This is what my top bar looked like in Firefox.



To change this appearance, we need a few plugins, hands growing from the right place, and 10 minutes of precious time.

Instruments

To get started, download the three necessary plugins. The first is the Menu Editor . This is an extremely useful add-on that allows you to edit almost all the menus available in the browser. Including the main menu.

The second is the Stop-or-Reload Button . Its main task is to combine the “update” and “stop” buttons.

The third optional, but very useful add-on is the All-in-One Sidebar , which will group the most used buttons and panels on the left side of the browser.

Go

First of all, after rebooting the browser, configure the main menu . To do this, select the " Help " item in the Menu Editor settings and uncheck the "Visible" checkbox. Thus, we reduce the main menu by exactly 1 point. I do not think that you often use the help in Firefox. Optionally, you can also remove or arrange the remaining items here, but this may not be very convenient.

Next, right-click on the empty space near the main menu and select " configure ". If you installed any add-ons that added their buttons on the panel near the address bar, you can transfer them to the left panel (to the place where the All-in-One Sidebar appeared). Home

button»I removed, and moved all the panels in one line. Next, I disabled two empty panels by unchecking the boxes opposite the “navigation bar” and “bookmark bar”. As a result, I got such a nice strip that includes everything you need .

One more thing?

If the hand trembled and some necessary element was deleted , you can return to the default settings by clicking “ Configure → Restore ”.
