I am trying to add & shift addons & stuff from the toolbars. On rightclick & choosing customize, the window with items opens, but, i am not able to drag or shift any of them. Anyone know how to fix this?

I _have_ the same issue since I upgraded Abrowser to version 12 (this is an
upstream add-on compatibility-related problem). You most probably have
installed an add-on (in my case it is TorButton, which is yet unmaintained)
which causes this issue (also for me the window reordering and bookmarking
with the drag-and-drop feature does not work). Try disabling all your
extensions, then restart Abrowser and check if the problem persist. If not,
try enabling some extensions and restart Abrowser again until you hunt down
the extension(s) causing the trouble.

P.S.: I experienced other issues with the latest Abrowser/Firefox release
like regular browser crashes during inactivity or system unresponsiveness by
CPU overload. I never experienced so buggy Firefox release from the time I
started using it (it was during the first stable v1.0 release, back in 2004
when it was proprietary). Hope the next version would be better.

Firefox was proprietary? That is not what rms was writing:
The Netscape Public License, or NPL, as it was ultimately designed in 1998, is a free software license.

mmm.. new profile? like terminal profiles? I am not able to find new profile option. I tried creating new toolbar, it got done. But, cannot move any items into it or shift the already existing ones on old toolbars.

I believe he is talking about Firefox profiles (Abrowser profiles, for our
purposes.)

Abrowser, like Firefox, supports multiple "browser profiles".

I have never used the feature.

aragonm, paste this in a terminal:

mkdir /tmp/ff.test && abrowser --no-remote --profile "/tmp/ff.test" && rm -fR /tmp/ff.test

If everything is ok, you may proceed in using a new firefox profile;
the simplest way is to remove the "/home/user*/.mozilla/abrowser/profiles.ini" and run abrowser ;
and after you copied bookmarks etc. from the old profile you can remove that too.

thanks. After enter your code in terminal, browser opened and i was able to move around items in toolbar. Then, instead of deleting moved the profiles.ini file from ~/.mozilla/abrowser/ to home and then, open abrowser normally. Everythings ok now. Thanks.
