New Toolbar Buttons

There are a whole bunch of new toolbar buttons in the prefbar2 that weren't avaiable in previous versions. This includes the new user agent menulist, navigation buttons, developer buttons, and several new pref checks. See the Button List for more information.

Customizable Toolbar

The toolbar is now completely customizable, with not only the ability to show only the buttons that you want, but the ability to display the buttons in any order you want, and even edit existing buttons or add new ones. Click the customize button on your toolbar to access the PrefBar customization panel, or find it in the "Advanced" catagory of the main preferences window.

Shortcut Key

You can now quickly show or hide the Preferences Toolbar whenever you need to by pressing the F8 key. I was told that mac users would flame me for stealing one of their F keys, so I hope that doesn't happen.

Documentation

I actually took the time to write a full featured documentation set for the PrefBar this time around (part of which you are currently viewing.) This should make it a lot easier to use the PrefBar than previous versions, in which users pretty much had to figure everything out on their own.

License

The original Preferences Toolbar was licensed under the "assume it's MPL unless told otherwise" license that is quite common among small XUL applications. The Preferences Toolbar 2 is now officially MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-licensed, including that huge bandwidth wasting license block at the first of every file. Feel free to rejoice now.
