I place those buttons in the toolbar because by default, they are in the bookmarks bar. I do this because while we hide the toolbar, it still remains a central aspect of our interaction: When we hit Command-L, the toolbar shows up for us to enter an address.

Command-L is, therefore, also a means of revealing the toolbar for various other actions I might want to do. So what I’ve done is, I’ve loaded up the toolbar with functionality I use occasionally, and hide it away. I can always summon it with Command-L.

When you hide the address bar in step 2, the toolbar is also hidden. Or have you found a way to hide the address bar without the toolbar?</p> Why do you want to place the top sites and bookmarks buttons to the toolbar?
