Web Developer Toolbar wont Display – Firefox Fix

Posted by: Jason Ferguson

Today I was working on a cleaning up some CSS when suddenly a plugin I use for Firefox, Web Developer Toolbar, suddenly disappeared. I found a couple older posts with people having a similar problem, but then I stumbled across voodish.co.uk1 and it seemed to do the trick for me.

The Problem

Firefox Web Developer Toolbar addon is not showing icons or text, or both.

The Solution

A very very easy solution, as long as your Firefox toolbar positioning isn’t extremely customized. A few quick steps and you will be able to display the toolbar again.

  1. Right-click on the Toolbar and choose ‘Customize’
  2. Click ‘Restore Default Set‘ or Drag any missing buttons from the ‘Customize Toolbar’ window to the toolbar.
  3. Click ‘Done.’

And that’s it, make sure Icons and Text are selected from the drop down menu if you require both and your all set.
