One of my Toolbar buttons take up a lot of real estate. The button says "Google Shortcuts". It has an icon before the phrase and a down arrow after the phrase. I'm using the small icons too, but the Toolbar button still takes up a lot of room. How can I change the phrase "Google Shortcuts" to something like "Google". There is no option to change the phrase within this add-on.

I'm using FF 3.6.18 on an XP box.

That is a Google problem, not a Firefox problem; either:

  • contact Google or
  • remove the toolbar

You can make that button smaller with code in userChrome.css, but you need to find the ID of that button to do that.

Since Firefox is highly customizable, I would think there'd be a way to change the wording of any item in the toolbar. For example, I've always wanted to change "Back" to "Prev" and "Forward" to "Next". Oh well. Thanks anyway.
