Is it possible to group addons together?
I have quite a few addons installed of which many are activated when you click on their icon in the addon bar. I'm looking for a way to group addons together so they only take up a single spot and are ordered together with like addons. You can group bookmarks into folders and I'd like to find a way to do the same with my addons in the addon bar.

The Add-ons Bar is no longer a default feature in Firefox. Few add-on developers create add-ons to support another add-on.
Overall, the code to group "buttons" in a folder on any toolbar (if that was even possible), [except for the Bookmarks Toolbar], would be complex and might involve user coding for each "button". I ran into that with this UserStyle - https://userstyles.org/styles/107442/fx29-menu-panel-horizontal-icons - where I hit the limit of my knowledge with the Fx29+ versions. Apparently some add-ons use new code that Fx29+ versions can handle, while others probably adapted code from older versions of Firefox that doesn't "translate" well. With those add-ons each user made need to do some coding for some of their toolbar buttons; not something I want to get into.
No, I'm not an add-on developer, but I have "rescued" a few add-ons that were abandoned after a major Firefox update so I could keep using them. So I have some knowledge of the various ways to code a toolbar button; regular single function button - with a drop-marker menu - and with a contextual menu.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac Then reinstall the latest version.
Flash Player v16.0.0.257 https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.

OK, now I only have Flash 16 installed on the computer from which my message was posted.
So, is there a way to group add-ons into folders in the add-ons bar? I didn't find anything in the add-ons web page that enables this.
