The Firefox toolbar provides easy and quick access to all sorts of typical browser functions. This is a very convenient panel, thanks to which the user can easily access one or another feature of the Firefox browser. Today we will talk about how to customize this toolbar in Firefox.
How to show or hide toolbars in the Firefox browser
The vast majority of toolbars in Firefox can be either hidden or shown. What will be displayed and what will not is up to you. To hide or show a desired toolbar, right-click on the tab bar, in the context menu that appears, click on the desired toolbar, after which it will appear or disappear.
There are 5 toolbars in total, namely:

- Tab Bar - A standard bar that cannot be hidden at all; all your tabs are located here.
- Navigation Toolbar - This toolbar contains navigation tools, namely Home, Back, Forward, Address Bar, etc. This toolbar can be hidden if desired, but by default it is enabled.
- Bookmarks Toolbar - A default hidden bar that stores all your bookmarks.
- Add-ons Bar - Located at the bottom of the browser, a default hidden bar that stores your installed and running extensions. This bar provides access to running extensions.
How to customize toolbars
All toolbars are customizable, and to customize them, you need to open the toolbar customization window. To do this, right-click on the tab bar. In the context menu that appears, select "Customize", after which the toolbar customization window will open.
By dragging icons you can place them where you want and how you want. It is very easy to do. In the list of icons, select the one you need and drag it to the desired toolbar. Also, you can separate groups of icons using a special icon - a separator.
Also, you can customize the display type of all icons. Namely, you can keep only icons, only text, or icons with text. In addition, you can make icons small. To do this, simply check the checkbox "Small icons".
Firefox allows you to create your own toolbars, giving them your own names, and then place icons on them. Don't be afraid to experiment, do whatever you want, because to restore the original layout of icons and toolbars at any time, simply click the "Restore Defaults" button.
Firefox offers extensive possibilities in terms of customizing icons and toolbars and that's just great.
Good luck!
