Initially, a standard set of buttons appears on your Yahoo! Toolbar in Firefox. Because toolbar buttons are visible whenever the Yahoo!

Here’s How

  1. On the Toolbar, click the pencil icon, then select Add/Edit Buttons.

    Select Personal Options, then Add/Edit Buttons from the menu.

    The Customize Yahoo! Toolbar page appears, displaying lists of all of the available buttons. If you haven’t already done so, you’ll have to sign in with your Yahoo! ID before you see the page.
