i used to have the ability to change &/or move the icons on the top of the toolbar of an open email itself. i'm on 78.2.2, & cannot move/change them. now on 64bit, was on 32bit. now it shows: reply, forward, archive, junk, delete, more over at the top right of the screen. in the past i've had the ones I want in the middle of the screen, but can't find any way to do that on an email, just on tb window. help!

thanks, sfhowe! at least now i can rearrange the icons. now if i could show the tag icon & the mark icon, & move them to the middle, i'd be happy. do you know why this ability was removed?

The Tags and New Tab buttons seem to have been removed from the latest version of the add-on, but Tags is now under More, and its position can be changed.

The reasoning behind the removal of this option is discussed here:

The Tags button in the Header Pane can be shown as a separate button with this add-on:
