Want to customize the Firefox toolbar<\/strong>? Messy browser toolbars waste screen space. In 2009 I fixed a friend’s Firefox, where a tiny address bar sat squeezed beside the bookmarks, a blank toolbar row wasted space and a huge Google search box pushed the Google Toolbar off screen. Unlike Internet Explorer, Firefox had no “lock the toolbars” option, and the trick was the Customize window. Today Firefox’s toolbar is simpler, but the same Customize tool still lets you move buttons and restore defaults. Here is how in 2026.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Quick answer:<\/strong> Right-click an empty part of the Firefox toolbar and choose Customize Toolbar<\/strong> (or open the menu \u2630, then More tools, then Customize toolbar). Drag buttons where you want them, add or remove the search bar, choose which toolbars show, and click Done<\/strong>. Click Restore Defaults<\/strong> to undo everything.<\/p>\n
