Get the Toolbar for Your Browser
Supports both Internet Explorer and Firefox
Shrink Your Toolbar
Many people do not like big toolbars that take up a lot of 'real estate' on their browser, as it reduces the amount of space left for reading web pages. This toolbar, however, can be made to take up much less space, like this:
All you need to do is click on the left-most drop-down menu (between SU logo and the search box) and click on 'Shrink Toolbar'. This removes all of the text from the toolbar, leaving just the button icons. If you don't like it, then you can go back to the menu and 'Unshrink Toolbar'.
Depending on which browser you have, you might even be able to re-arrange your toolbars so that they sit on the same row, leaving you with even more space for your webpages.

- Hi!
I've been less than thrilled, lately with Internet Explorer so I've just installed Firefox and loaded my customized tabs, etc. I love the Squid Utils toolbar and used it for a long time on IE so naturally I want it on Firefox, too.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I did a search on Squidoo for it, found this page and Voila! downloaded it easily to Firefox! Easy as pie. Now my Firefox browser is all set. Thanks! I'm a happy Squidcamper.

- The best thing to do is reinstall the toolbar from this page - there have been some recent updates to it to fix issues introduced by the new Firefox.
