Fix Firefox Readability Extension

On both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, I had found myself unable to (permanently) move the icons created by the Readability extensions for Firefox.  I prefer them located on the far right hand side of my Bookmarks Toolbar, and I could move them there, but upon every reboot, Firefox would move them back to the left of the Forward and Backward arrows.

After a fair amount of Google searching… and lots of wrong paths… I’ve found the solution, and it’s pretty easy.

  1. Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
  2. Press the big button to bypass the warning.
  3. In the search box, paste extensions.readability.first_run_complete
  4. In the search results, double-click extensions.readability.first_run_complete to set its value to true
  5. Restart Firefox.
  6. Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize. Place Readability’s icons wherever you like.
