Add 'Home' Button to Nav. Toolbar, SM2

By default, the 'Home' button in Seamonkey 2 is on the Personal Toolbar, which seems daft to me as the intuitive place to put it is on the navigation bar, especially if, like me, you keep the personal toolbar hidden to maximise window space.
Here is how to get it onto the navigation bar:
Set the browser to show the personal toolbar.
Right click on the personal toolbar and from the pop-up select 'customise...'
A panel of available buttons will appear. Drag the 'Home' button OFF the personal toolbar and on to this panel. Close panel.
Right click on the navigation toolbar, select 'customise' and drag the 'Home' button to the place of your choice.
Job done!

I post this because the whole process seems a bit counter-intuitive to me, and took me weeks to figure out, but then, maybe I am just a bit thick....................

Would the extensions to add the home button to the main toolbar work with SM2, as well? :D

The instructions I posted are for Seamonkey 2. as far as I know there is no extension that does the same thing as none is needed :)

Perhaps, but would the extensions that added a Home button to the main toolbar still work? :)

It could just be that particular extension that doesn't work. :P

Heh. I figured it probably wouldn't work - they implemented a completely different way of handling extensions in SM2, more or less, didn't they? Of course, given the internal changes, whatever the extension's hoping to change might not exist where it's looking, anyway...

Thanks. I don't have any plans to install SM2 at the moment, but I was still curious. Probably not a good combination. :oops:
