How to make Firefox extension auto install in nav bar?
- by S M
I'm working on a Firefox extension. I'd like to make it auto-install in the far right position on the nav bar when a user installs it. As it stands, a user has to go to View Toolbars Customize... and drag the extension to the nav bar once it's installed. I'd like to eliminate this step.
The extension is here: http://madan.org/tickertool
The XUL for my extension looks basically like this and it overlays browser.xul:
<overlay id="my-ext-overlay" ... >
<toolbarpalette id="BrowserToolbarPalette">
<toolbaritem id="my-ext-container" ... >
<toolbarbutton id="my-ext-customize-image" ... />
<textbox id="my-ext-textbox" ... />
<hbox id="my-ext-buttons">
<image id="my-ext-button1" ... />
<image id="my-ext-button2" ... />
<image id="my-ext-button3" ... />
</hbox>
</toolbaritem>
</toolbarpalette>
</overlay>
I've seen code here ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Code_snippets/Toolbar ) that supposedly does what I'm looking for, but this code is if your extension is just a single button and I can't get it to work for me. The answer to my question is likely some modification of this code, but I haven't figured it out.
