I think that all your Icons are BRILLIANT!! Being very usable without making these icons unrecognizable to their icon of origin. Thank you SOOOO much for sharing your talent. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these.
Cheers

TO RESTORE THE MISSING THROBBER in Firefox 3.5

The difference between FF3.0 and FF3.5 is that in FF3.5 you have to actively place the throbber in the menu bar. In FF3.0 it is placed by default, but you can remove it if you like.

Follow these instructions to restore the throbber to the top right hand corner of the main menu bar.
These instructions work for Firefox 3.0 as well.

1. Open Firefox

2. Choose View / Toolbars / Customize

3. In the Customize Toolbar window, drag the Flexible Space icon to the right side of the "Help" text on the menu bar.

4. Similarly, drag the Activity Indicator (throbber) to the menu bar, placing it to the right of the inserted flexible space icon.

5. Click "Done" to close the Customize Toolbar window.

6. That's it! The throbber should be back in position in the top righthand corner of the menu bar.
