  1. Is there any way to make it so that when the bar appears it come up in front of the page rather than shifting it down?

  2. When the bookmarks toolbar appears after being auto-hidden it pushes the contents of the page down. Is there any way to make the toolbar overlay the content of the page instead so that nothing shifts?

  3. ^^ Afaik not possible but will try to look into your request and if I come across any solution, will let you know.

  4. Hi. Does “Multiple rows” still work in Firefox 12? I had to create the chrome folder as well as the .css file with the code in it but it doesn’t work. Thanks.

  5. Great idea, and sthg I’ve been wanting forever. Didn’t work, though. I’m using FF v72.0.1.x64 … is there a more recent version of the code, or some tweak I need to do?

    Thanks!
