@eblable - Thanks for your effort!

I've checked out this issue, and the weird thing is that it works okay for me. I'm running it on Windows XP as well as Mac OS X.

What I have noticed is that there are possible toolbar configurations which the Firefox 4 upgrade path does not seem to handle correctly. My guess is that your experience is a case of this.

With my configuration, I used to have the "new tab" button on the toolbar. That somehow prevented the small new-tab "plus" from being shown to the right of the last tab in Firefox 4. I think I managed to get it back by removing the new tab button from the toolbar while in "Customize..." mode, or maybe by choosing "Restore Default Set."

A couple of things you can try:

* Remove the Bookmarks button and/or drop-down while in "Customize..." mode, then re-add it/them

* "Restore Default Set" while in "Customize..." mode

* Disable your key configuration in key config, restart Firefox, then reassign your hot-key

* Uninstall and reinstall Keyconfig

* Create a new Firefox profile (see here), install Keyconfig and see if it works

All of these amount to "turning it off and on again," but maybe one of them will do the trick. Good luck.

Hi - me again - I also notice that with your method, the "bookmarks" drop-down button behaves differently.

This is the "bookmarks" drop-down button in the default toolbar set for Firefox 4.

Normal behavior re: bookmarks toolbar:
- Click this button, select "View Bookmarks Toolbar"
- Toolbar appears, button DISAPPEARS, now located on the bookmarks toolbar.
- Click button, deselect "View Bookmarks Toolbar", toolbar disappears, and button reappears on the ordinary toolbar, where it was before.

Behavior with the CTRL+B code above:
- Click bookmarks drop-down, select "view bookmarks toolbar", bookmarks drop-down goes away from main bar.
- CTRL+B, toolbar goes away, but bookmarks drop-down button doesn't reappear.

This is in addition to the problem noted yesterday.

I figure the problems are actually related, so thought this tidbit might help you figure it out.

Thank you again, and hope this helps! Even with the bugs, I find myself using your code because it's just so useful ... hopefully we can get it to work as it should!

Hi -- with Firefox 4, this now has a bug:

On initially launching the program, this only makes a blank toolbar appear and disappear at first.

Workaround: You have to manually make the toolbar appear through Firefox's own menus, and then the code above works. But you have to do this every time you close and re-open firefox.

Could you post a way to fix this? It would be SO useful!

Thanks!!
