Support plain old favorites extension

[feinbd@…]

love this addon, great spacesaver, using it for months now. only i use the plain old favorites extension to share my bookmarks with IE instead of firefox bookmarks and maintaining them separately. it would be nice if you could detect other menus such as this one and offer me a checkbox to not collapse it as this is the only one i really use and would like to keep single click accessible.

ahhh crap. sorry i should have searched

actually i am not sure this is the same. the "plain old favorites" does not "hide" the bookmarks menu, you actually still have both menu items, it just adds a new menu item. is there a similar work around that i can add thru about:config? can tinymenu detect additional menuitems and show checkboxes for them?

It is, indeed, the same. The issue is that the extension is adding a NEW menu. TinyMenu doesn't know about these menus, and no, I don't plan on attempting to track every single possible extension that adds a menu. You can indeed hack it yourself in about:config, as long as you can find the id for the node.

ok understandable. i thought 1) it might be different as the other appeared to be hiding a menu and 2) there might be able to just dynamically query the menu items to look for the ones that exist at the top level (i haven't done windows programming in a while and i have never done this in the browser), trying to track all the extensions would indeed be an absurd amount of effort.

that said 1) thanks for the reply and the great product and 2) do you know of any way to get the id for that menu item? is there some tool (like the DOM explorer does for javascript) or something that will let me find that?

You're looking for  DOM Inspector.

i don't see any menus in DOM inspector, that is only showing me the webpage itself
