Since web browsers are a daily part of our life, getting the most out of them is very important. The more tool bars you own, the less of a website's content you actually see. That's where Tiny Menu comes in. It allows you to compress the bar that contains File, Edit, View, etc in to one small button or image. If done correctly you can get rid of the whole tool bar all together. The steps to do this are simple. First and foremost, install the extension. After that, right click the current tool bar and click customize. This will allow you to drag and drop items on your tool bars. If you mess that step up you can always reset it to the defaults. Drag the back button, forward button, and the rest to the bar where the main menu is/was. Once you do that it should be blank, and you can just delete it all together. When successfully done it should look like so:

The plugin does have basic options such as collapsing certain menus while leaving others untouched. You can also use an image for the button instead of the default "Menu" text. Now if we could just get rid of that bottom tool bar it would look similar to Opera :)
