Add Option to remove Page Action Button in Firefox
Unfortunately Firefox itself can't remove page action buttons from the URL bar so the extension authors have to include this setting themselves if they want to give the users a choice.
There is not good reason - for me - to have a settings button in such a prominent place in the browser. I set it and forget it so I prefer a normal extension button I can hide or remove myself.
So, the having the option not to show the page action button in the URL bar would be nice.
@BubiBalboa Can you please share an example of some Firefox extension that can switch the action button on/off?
Sure! CanvasBlocker has such a setting called "Show notification icon".
Thank you. The source code for that extension is at https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker, I'll take a look.
I think this checkbox exists in modern builds and this issue can be closed, unless I'm misunderstanding.
