Is there a "go to" button for Craigslist on Firefox?
Hate the new Yahoo tool bar and would like to just use the Firefox menu bar buttons to access frequently used sites. Yahoo mail, Gmail, Amazon and Ebay all easy but Craigslist seems to want to add more than just a "go to" button.

Do you use the Bookmarks Toolbar? That's the most obvious place to save links to websites. This article has the details on that: Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window.
(For some users, vertical space is at a premium so they prefer not to have any additional bar, but if you are removing the Yahoo toolbar, hopefully that will free up enough space.)
By default, bookmarks are created either on the Bookmarks Menu or in Other Bookmarks. Click the blue star to change the location to the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Bookmarks are created with the title of the page as their "name" which can be very long. You can right-click the bookmark and choose Properties to shorten that. There also are add-ons which can hide all the text titles so you only see the site icons, if you prefer that.
I could rattle on, but... is this helpful?
Nope, I'm not looking for bookmarks. That's an extra step. I want an icon button like home. yahoo mail, gmail etc.
Why is a bookmark an extra step if you display the Bookmarks Toolbar?
If you want buttons on other bars, you need an add-on of some kind. There's one called Custom Buttons which lets you create your own buttons to do many various things, and they have a forum to assist you with creating them. That's probably more efficient than trying to find separate add-ons for different sites, and almost certainly gives you more control over how they work.
