how to add firefox bookmark as toolbar button

I'm trying to find a way to add a single bookmarklet to the navigation bar in Firefox 7 - any method (add-on, hack, Greasemonkey script) is fine by me, but haven't been able to find anything that works so far.

Because I only have one bookmarklet that I need, I really don't want to have the bookmark toolbar enabled and take up all that screen real estate - hence, I'm wondering if there's a way to create an extra icon on the navigation bar (alongside the Search Bar and Home, Bookmarks, New Tab, etc buttons) that contains the bookmarklet.

You can perhaps use Custom Buttons.

I don't know how it handles complicated scripts, but I'm using it successfully to do some trivial tasks, e.g.

  • a button which opens Google in new tab (instead of current):

    gBrowser.selectedTab = gBrowser.addTab("http://www.google.com/");

  • a button which performs site: Google search over current URL:

    content.location = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=site:' + content.location.hostname;

  • Same button, but with prompt:

    var q=prompt("Search terms:").replace(/\s\+/g,"%252B");
var loc="http://www.google.com/search?q="+q
loc += "+site:"+content.location.hostname;
content.location = loc;

To create nice image buttons, you can use Notepad++ to base64-encode the icon or PNG image:

data:image/x-icon;base64,[data here]
data:image/png;base64,[data here]

You can add a button that opens your bookmarks in a sidebar. Thats the only solution I can come up with.

View -> Toolbars -> Customize... -> Display your bookmarks

There's also a keyboard shortcut for it (Command+B on Mac || CTRL + B on Windows)

That's all I can come up with, maybe it's already what you need.
