Firefox 3: Shrink the Over-sized Back Button
One thing I dislike about Firefox 3 is that the specialized themes for Windows XP and Vista both leave you with a Back button that is out of proportion with the other buttons on the toolbar. You can tame the oversized button by following this Tech-Recipe.

1. Open Firefox 3.
2. Right-click on the toolbar and select Customize.

3. Check the Use Small Icons checkbox, located at the bottom of the window.
![]()
The Back button is now in proportion with the other buttons, and no longer looks out of place.

Cool! I just got a new netbook and that tip just gave me a little more viewing area. You wouldn’t think the icon size would make that much difference but with these baby sized screens every little bit helps. I hadn’t thought of changing the icon size.

but, how to go smaller ? Icons only is thinner vs. Text only
I’m only using 3 bars on top – big blue, a combo of address + Nav., & Tabs
And one on bottom (status bar ?)
any ideas to shrink all icons ?
