I was looking for a way to make keyboard shortcuts for showing and hiding toolbars in Firefox 3 So now I present you with a symbolical 10 steps to make your own toolbar shortcuts show/hide a toolbar on the press of a (or two or three or four) buttons.
1. Install KeyConfig
2. Install DOM Inspector
3. Open DOM Inspector and put chrome://browser/content/browser.xul in the URL bar.
4. Observe the Firefox window in the browser at the bottom
5. Scroll down the Document - DOM nodes tree to document > window > toolbox and expand it.
6. Observe the list of your Firefox toolbars and their ID's
7. Add a new key in KeyConfig and name it appropriately to the toolbar you want to toggle.
8. Replace the /* CODE */ with goToggleToolbar('toolbarid', ''); and then replace toolbarid with the id from the toolbar.
9. Assign a keyboard shortcut to the newly created Key
10. Open a new Firefox window and press they keyboard shortcut.
This will toggle your toolbars visibility (make sure it is showing by default with the checkmark checked at View > Toolbars > Your toolbar).
Now my question is - Does an extension exist who does this?

DOM inspector does not show the nodes for me
any ideas?
Press inspect?
Did you expand the document node or isn't that showing at all either?
I don't know other then that it should really show up in the DOM node inspector
It could be if you have javascript disabled that it doesn't work, or some other security setting which constrains it.
I did press inspect.
DOM nodes is the only thing i cannot see, stylesheets, js objects, accessible events and trees i see all this.
i hava JS enabled and no security settings, just firefox defaults
Seems like a problem with your DOM Inspector. Or the DOM node panel is hidden on the left side..
Try to see if it works for a normal webpage.
You are right, DOM Inspector doesn't show DOM nodes for any page (i tryed google.com).
there must be a bug or something
is it too much trouble to ask u to install a firefox extension and tell me it's toolbar id :D
you can uninstall it afterwards
it's called TooManyTabs (it keeps safely a lot of tabs in low memory)
thank you in advance ^_^, and don't worry if you don't wanna do it
Hey I installed it and got the id 'toomanytabs'
It wasn't in the toolbox node but it works the same ->
the code for keyconfig is goToggleToolbar('toomanytabs', '');
thank you :D
