Can I create an actual button (NOT a bookmark link)?

OK, so I have a few bookmarks, but I would like to have some of them above my bookmark bar - on the "main" toolbar, as a button. Just like the ones created by add-ons or the subscribe/reload/etc (default) buttons. Anyway I can do that? With the help of an add-on perhaps?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you would need an add-on; I didn't see one in a quick search on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/.

(As you probably know, you can put a button for the entire Bookmarks drop-down menu on the navigation toolbar, but it sounds as though you want a "one click" solution.)

Yup, one click - that's what I'm looking for. I couldn't find anything going through the add-ons either.

I don't know if it's easier to do, but would it be possible then to change the icon of a bookmark (on the bookmark toolbar) and remove the text? It would look like a button... sorta...

(Forgive the broken English, not my primary language.)

Some of this may be of help(perhaps to others) -

  • You can abbreviate as much text with the icon as you like down to nothing via Right click on bookmark>Properties>alter name. This will leave you with the original icon.
  • You can create a folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar - Right click on toolbar>New folder> and put in as many bookmarks as you like>then open folder and Open all in tabs - admittedly two clicks but a lot of value for two clicks and greatly increasing the capacity of the Bookmarks Toolbar. A number of folders would need very short text names.

All of this still leaves you with a Bookmarks Toolbar but a much more useful one. You'll need help from someone else if you wish to change the icons.

Right on. I skipped this one on my first search mainly because some of the comments were about "button coding"... turns out it's not half as difficult to deal with as I thought it would be. The code samples will do just fine.

Thanks for this.

You're welcome.

You can invoke keyword bookmarks (xxxx) with code like this:

  • if(window.loadURI) { loadURI(getShortcutOrURI('xxxx',{})); }

I use a lot of such buttons with the PrefBar extension to access keyword bookmarks and also assign keyboard shortcuts to them to invoke them via the keyboard.
