The Custom Buttons² Firefox extension provides the code base support necessary to create, maintain, import, and export custom toolbar buttons. These custom buttons can be written to do various tasks that the user may require.
Custom Buttons² Firefox extension buttons can be written to do various tasks that the user may require. The buttons are coded in javascript. Many bookmarklets can easily be converted to buttons.
The Custom Buttons² Extension Development Group recommends two buttons to start you off:
1.The Backup Custom Buttons button: http://custombuttons.phpbbnow.com/viewtopic.php?t=199
2.The Import Button button: http://custombuttons.phpbbnow.com/viewtopic.php?t=200
These two buttons will help to streamline your button gathering on the web and allow you to very conveniently back them up so when the gremlins strike you will have a backup in place.
To install an existing button in the Custom Buttons Forum for instance, you need to merely click on the link for the button and follow the instructions that appear, or drag & drop the button link onto the import button.
To create a new button:
In the main-menu, View select the “Add New Button” item.
1. Fill in the Name field with an appropriate button name. If the image field is left empty, the button image will default to the Custom Button star.
2. The Code section only executes when the button is clicked.
3. The Initialization code section executes when the button is saved/applied and each time Firefox starts. Either section may be left empty.
4. Now, in the main-menu, View >> Toolbars >> Customize... Find the new button and drag & drop it where you want it on a toolbar.
