After you have installed a dozen or two extensions, your menu buttons can get a little out of hand. Everything wants to add a command or link in the browser to help you use it better. Every extension leads to more choices in the menu. How can you tame this down? You need to pick up the More Tools Menu Firefox extension.
Here is what the developer of the extension has to say about it.
It’s rather common for Firefox extensions to want to let the user trigger an action. The way to do that is the menu bar. With the default menus in the menu bar, the tools menu is usually the only choice that makes any sense, so most all the extensions seem to stuff their commands inside the tools menu. Pretty quick, with the default and all the additional items, that menu is way too big to deal with.
This simple extension just takes all “new” tools menu items, and moves them into a new “More Tools” menu. New items means, items that it can find being put in, after it starts watching.
I find that this makes finding the item I’m looking for much easier, when looking through a shorter list.
The new “More Tools” section allows your browsing to be a little neater and a little more organized.
This Firefox extension is for versions 1.5 and up of the browser. If you want to download it and try it out for yourself, you can do so at the Mozilla Update Web site.
