Customize format toolbar AND font menu

The "customize toolbar" options are many fewer than all the commands I use. I'd like to add other format commands, such as highlighting text (aka character background fill), to either the text format toolbar or the main toolbar.
Secondly, can I alter the font menu so that it (1) shows fewer fonts, or (2) shows frequently-used fonts at the top, or (3) displays font names in their own typeface?
Thanks very much.

Feature unavailable.
Highlighting text is already available in the format bar (white rectangle with a lowercase a).

1 = no
2 already available in the Font panel: Fonts > Collections > Favorites
3 already available in the Font Panel: Fonts > Collections > Recently Used and/or Favorites

What item are you dragging into the dock (not toolbar - not windows).

I CANNOT CUSTOMIZE MY TOOLBAR AND I AM JUST ABOUT FEDUP WITH FIREFOX

For the past week I have done nothing but try to get my FIREFOX back the way it was before their last update jacked it all up. NOW I CANNOT CUSTOMIZE MY TOOLBAR WHEN I TRY TO ADD IN THE BACK AND FORWARD ICON IT DISAPPEARS TEN TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO ADD IT I''M SO PISSED AT FIREFOX I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS CRAP

Have you tried using the '''Restore Defaults''' button in the Customize palette?
That should restore the entire User Interface to default.

Can't customize Finder toolbar, and where's Quick Look?

Hi, all. I'm (of course) hoping for some easy answers here. I recently got a refurb iMac 24"--a beautiful thing, like new. (Used Migration Assistant to bring over old iMac docs and settings.) Since using this new iMac and Leopard, I have yet to see the Quick Look "eye" icon anywhere. Highlighting a doc and hitting spacebar brings up Quick Look (yay!), but there's no option for Quick Look in my Finder menu: no "eye" icon. And under Finder's View menu, most of the options are grayed-out: I can't select "as Icons," "as List," "as Columns," "as Cover Flow"; or "Show Path Bar" or "Hide Status Bar"; or "Hide Toolbar" or "Customize Toolbar." What's up with this?
I did an archive and install this morning to see whether it would give me fresh access to Leopard, but no change. (Hoping not to have to erase and install, since I have Time Machine and Time Capsule playing well together and don't want to mess with their relationship...)
Any insight anyone?
Thanks in advance!

If you Ctl+CLick on an empty area of a Finder window tool bar, do you get the Customize Toolbar option? Is the Quick Look icon there to add? If you remove and then re-add the grayed-out icons, do they become active?

When i customize my toolbar and close, the icons are not in the places i put them. how do i make my toolbar set up stay in place?

below file/edit/view/history/bookmarks/tools/help menu line, on second line I have added icons for print, reopen closed tab, session manager, (xmarks)synchronize now, my xmarks, home,duckduckgo, woolik search, stumbleupon, you tube, do not track me, mask me, better privacy, https addon, zoom out zoom in, back forward, private browsing toggle. on the third line i have added icons for gmail-open in a new tab, gmail checker, gmail notifier, last pass and the address bar. there are 2 to 4 separator lines between the icons, grouping like icons, i.e., security, search engines, gmail, etc. each time i close Firefox and then reopen, the icons are no longer in the order i placed them, with separators, or they are not visible and i have to r.click. select "customize," and re-drag and drop the icons and separators where i want them. i am a very, very beginner at this all, but drag and drop i know. why don't the icons/seperators stay in place??
thank you for you help...a. 09 fev. 2013 16h03.

How can I synchronize "bookmarks toolbar" and "bookmarks menu" ? They have different bookmarks now.

I just noticed that the firefox sidebar has an entry for "bookmarks toolbar" as well as "bookmarks menu".
somehow, there are differences between the bookmarks in the various subfolders though they are probably 90% identical. There are far too many to go through by sight (I have over a 1000 bookmarks).
1. Is there an easy way to synchronize the two locations ?
2. Or, if not a direct way, are there two separate folders for these two bookmarks locations in Windows so that I can synchronize the two folders with a folder synchronization application ?
I want to get all of my bookmars under "bookmarks menu" then empty out the bookmarks toolbar entirely. The resulting bookmarks will be uploaded to override the xmarks folder on their server.
I hope you can help.

:I did not mistake the Bookmarks menu on the toolbar. If you check the bookmarks menu on the toolbar (the equivalent button) and it is behind, look in the bookmarks sidebar and you will see the updated bookmarks. I doubt that destroying places.sqlite will fix the problem --but it will lose your history which would be far worse.
Look in the Bookmarks sidebar ("Ctrl+B"), you should see three main folders
# Bookmarks Toolbar
# Bookmarks Menu
# Unsorted Bookmarks
If you import bookmarks, all of the bookmarks you import will be added to the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu, which you may very well see as duplicates, if what you imported them from something similar to what you already had. That is what "newsplexer" appears to be seeing.
Previously in Firefox 2 Bookmarks Toolbar was "Personal Bookmarks" and was a folder in the "Bookmarks" folder, importing then placed imported material at the bottom of the Bookmarks folder, what happens now is imported material is added to the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu. If you have a "Bookmarks" folder and a "Bookmarks Toolbar" as a subfolder at the '''bottom''' of the Bookmarks Menu it is not the same, as the actual "Bookmarks Toolbar". The actual Bookmarks Toolbar is also shown as a flyout menu at the top of the Bookmarks menu (I don't know if it suffers from the same lag as the Bookmarks menu, fixed by restarting Firefox).
I find the Bookmarks menu to be almost useless and very slow, and inaccurate after making extensive changes, and instead use the Bookmarks sidebar to examine bookmarks and bookmark structure, and the Bookmarks Library List to examine detail. And even adding scrollbars to the Bookmarks menu does not make it very useable to me.
Firefox 6 attempted to put the Unsorted Bookmarks back into the Bookmarks menu at the bottom not as a flyout as was done for the Bookmarks Toolbar, but as a link to the Bookmarks Library List with "Unsorted Bookmarks" selected.

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. 
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

I clicked on something to try to find "source" for embed and now I lost toolbar and can't get it back. It's the toolbar with the bookmark tab and I now cannot find any bookmarks. There is nothing on firefox to help me to put this toolbar back on.

I clicked on something and it disappeared. I wanted 2 embed a video and someone told me there should be a "source" button on the toolbar that I need to click on. I clicked on something & then the entire toolbar was gone. And now I cannot get it back.

I am running MS Office for Mac 2008 on my MacBook Pro. I do not have the Standard and Formatting toolbar fixed into position, as I would expect and would like.

Firefox 4 just updated and I no longer have a Home icon in my toolbars ( and none in the customize section ) . Help

update is missing a Home icon for the toolbars. Can I find this elsewhere ?

If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
Make sure that the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

I went to "view" and "toolbars" and mistakenly unchecked the menu toolbar on Firefox how do I get it back?

I was trying to turn off some of the unused toolbars on Firefox on my husband's Windows laptop. I mistakenly unchecked the menu tool bar under "view" and "toolbars" Now I can't figure out how to get it back.

If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent
