I am showing just the stumble button and the thumbs-up & thumbs-down. That’s the way I wanted it. I achieved this by following the instructions above, moving my stumble button where I wanted it, and THEN disabling the Stylish Extension.

Maybe everybody does this, but I was happy to figure it out. Thanks for making a tweak.

Eh, I just hide the toolbar and use the keyboard shortcuts, much faster

Yeah, to each their own. Like I said, the reason I made this post is for those are obsessive about browsing space. For example, my FireFox is setup with only toolbars. It combines the reload/stop buttons, and only shows the back and forth buttons if they’re needed. The search box resizes as I type into it, saving space when it’s inactive. My menu is condensed into one button except for the menu’s I use a lot. Here’s a screenshot of what I’m talking about. This gives me a lot of browsing space, and everything is set up how I like it, it’s not like I’m compromising usability for space, this is actually more usable to me than the default setup.

Oh, and I managed to get that screwed up in the first place ’cause I misread your last paragraph about the feedback shortcuts.

Honestly, I can have every icon and text up there. The bar is nearly empty. I have space left over with all of the stuff.

I have simply the Stumble Button, and the Thumbs Up/Down buttons.

Yeah, I’m not claiming to allow the ability to position the button, hah, that of course is built-in, as is with any other toolbar extension. Yours is fine if you have the space, but you’re also showing the thumbs up/down buttons, this is specifically for those who only want the stumble button.

Or, since both these solutions seem a bit silly…

I have simply the Stumble Button, and the Thumbs Up/Down buttons. No text, no other buttons. I did this using the Stumbleupon Toolbar Options, making it match the image you have posted here. Then, with no changes to the config, or any additional extensions, I stuck that on my Menu bar, in roughly the position shown in your other picture (top-most bar, far right edge). Not sure why you’d need to make any other changes. The ability to position Stumble is built-in, and I’ve been able from Day One to stick it wherever I want.

@Obvious Man: next time you might wanna test your theory before you go public on the internet…. or you might just find yourself pwned! What you suggest only brings the Stumble Toolbar back. It does not do what the article suggests. Way to make yourself look like an idiot!
