Add a compact menu button to the navigation toolbar, and hide the menu bar.
Collector's Note [Update: this addon breaks the ability to edit a bookmark while adding it (blocks the pop-up dialog)! See my review of it on 24 Jan 2013.] ! One of the 5 Core Add-ons of this Collection (or at least when using Personal Titlebar which is Windows-only): You'll probably need this in order to restore access to the legacy menus if you use Personal Titlebar and move those menus off of the Menu Bar in order not to display them full-time. Compact Menu 2 puts the legacy menus as submenus of a new "Menu" item within the Firefox main app button's own dropdown. The usual keyboard shortcuts will work (such as Alt+T for Tools menu). BTW, this wouldn't be necessary if Firefox itself would (please) make all the "legacy" menu commands available through the single main Firefox app button instead of having to use a hodge-podge of both menu systems (there are some other add-ons that try to add back some of the other functions from Tools and other legacy menus into the main firefox app button).

Displays Geolocation information for a website using hostip.info data. Works with all versions of Firefox...
Collector's Note Optional: like URL Tooltip, you can use this add-on (it isn't a "plug-in" despite the name) to show the target of a link as a tooltip (just below the link you're pointing at) rather than always having this pop up at the bottom of the screen and rather than showing it in the add-on bar or in the location bar using Status-4-Evar. I only tried it briefly. This add-on has a checkbox in its settings to show the URL in its tooltip. It has the additional benefit of showing the city & country of the target, which is the actual purpose of this add-on.
