My first annoyance with FF2 beta 2 has popped up. How the heck do I unlock or reorder the tool bars? I fear I’m missing something obvious, but I sure can’t find a menu or right-click option. Surely I don’t need to tunnel into about:config for this too?

I have StumbleUpon and Web Developer tool bars both up and running. I want Web Dev to be the bottom-most, but can’t seem to make that happen.

Ideas?

   in case you still need the info on this:

   - right click on the tool bar and select “customize”
   - WHILE the pop up window is open, you can drag around the toolbars in the background.

   It’s pretty unintuitive and annoying if you ask me, although it’s really the only nuisance I see in the program so far.

   Thanks Keith. I can’t quite get that to work. :-\ I can move around all the items from, say, the web dev toolbar, but I can’t move the entire bar around. Is that how it works for you too?

   You have to drag each item where you want it to go. Move all the items on the toolbar that you want to move up, to an upper bar, then move all the items off that bar to a lower bar.

   There really should be a way to reorder entire toolbars, I agree, but moving around all the icons works in the meantime.

   Ahh… the lightbulb goes *ding*.

   Got it now. A pain, but better than nothing I reckon.

   Thanks!

   Thank you, thank you. It has been like a splinter in my mind. I have been bearing with a crappy toolbar config and tonite I decided to straighten it out. I have looked at every menu and option, and could not figure it out. I did a search and found your posting.

   Thank you. Thank you.

   One thing thatis worth noting with this approach (i started playing myself last night) - If you right-click and get the menu bars listed above the “Customize” option, the toolbar names do not, of course, change when you move buttons so unticking “Bookmarks” might delete your google bar depending on where you’ve moved your buttons too. This annoys me intensely. Ironically, when I moved from 1.x to 2, my toolbars stayed in their ideal places. It’s only after i’ve had to do a clean re-install that I’ve found this problem

   I think that may be related to this post from November.

   In fact, I wonder if it was your comment that I lost last time around?

   Thanks!
