Exactly as its name implies, the Tiny Menu extension allows you to compress your entire Firefox menu bar into one item. And, thanks to a
recent update, that item is now even smaller. Setting up Tiny Menu isn't entirely intuitive, so I'll outline the steps to save you a bit of time:
- Download and install Tiny Menu (don't forget to restart Firefox)
- Click your 'new' menu (the M) and then select View > Toolbars > Customize...
- One at a time (not that you have a choice) drag the items from your Navigation Toolbar into your menu bar until there's nothing left in the Navigation Toolbar
- Click Done to return to the main Firefox window
- Again, click your new menu and this time choose View > Toolbars > and then uncheck the Navigation Toolbar
- Bask in the glory of your newly free pixels

Why can't menus, address bar, tabs, etc run vertically so we have more vertical screen space?

Maybe you guys could do a post about the new Google toolbar? It seems to be rather temperamental. But more importantly, I'd like to be able to use some of it's icons in the main tool bar, which it implies you can, but then seems not to save. Anyway, I'd be interested in your thoughts on the new Google toolbar.

Awesome! Now Firefox can again be just like IE 7!

You do that, but if you want it to look better, I use Compactmenu. It works the same, but the "M" is a flame thing. here's a screenshot

Nice concept, but pretty much useless for OS X ;)

@justin: CompactMenu isnt compatible with FF 2.0, and changing the rdf file messes up the tab recovery history.

Interesting. I hardly use those options anyway (preferring key sequences) but its useful to have them available if i forget one.

You can do the same thing with Ifox graphite; In fact, I thought you could do this in any theme. I have everything stuffed into one bar. The only thing I can't do is remove the "file,/edit/view/...." drop down menus from the toolbar. What would really be awesome is to remove the toolbars altogether and just use mouse gestures and right click.
First time post, by the way; I love this site!
