As Bill said above, most of this can be performed with chrome edits.
#1 is a slight workaround to what you see in personal menu, but I like the way it works:
=====begin code=====
/*::::::::::::::Invisible Menubar::::::::::::
How to use it: Move all your Navigation Toolbar items (back/forward buttons, address bar, search bar etc. from the navigation toolbar to the Menu Bar, either on the right side or left side of the Menu Items. Now past this code in userChrome.css and restart your browser. You will no longer see the menu items. Now hover at the right/left edge of the menu bar (whichever side the menu items were on) and the menu items will appear. You can now hide the navigation bar and save vertical space
::::::::::::::*/
#menubar-items {
padding-left: 5px !important;
}
#menubar-items > #main-menubar {
margin-left: -9000px !important;
}
#menubar-items:hover > #main-menubar {
margin-left: 0 !important;
}
#menubar-items:hover {background-image: none !important; padding-left:0 !important;}
======end code======
This achieves a menu bar that auto hides itself to the left of your Fx (and off screen).
#2 is exactly the same as in the extension:
=====begin code=====
/* Show Stop and Reload buttons smartly*/
#stop-button[disabled] { display: none; }
#stop-button:not([disabled]) + #reload-button { display: none; }
======end code======
#3 is similar in scope but extends it to the forward button as well, only displaying *either* when either options are available and not displaying anything when nothing is present, and displaying only the appropriate button when any history with the associated tab is present (IOW< show back when there is something to go back to, and forward when there is something to go forward to):
=====begin code=====
/* Show Stop and Reload buttons smartly*/
#stop-button[disabled] { display: none; }
#stop-button:not([disabled]) + #reload-button { display: none; }
======end code======
As for #4, Since I use TabMixPlus as an extension, it allows you to set the progress bar on the *tab* itself - so if multiple tabs are loading you can easily see the progress. It also (optionally) can remove the progress bar in the status bar. Since I am constantly working with multiple tabs and the session saver features of Fx 3, this makes it a lot easier than having to visit each tab to see if it is still loading or not.
