However, many Firefox users are not very happy with GUI design decision and there are tweaks available that allow to remove it all together. However, ...

Firefox toolbar is one of the most convenient and quick ways to access the most commonly used bookmarks in Firefox. Also, a user can create the folders on the toolbar to organize the bookmarks in logical categories within these folders. One problem that many users end up with (those that have a lot of bookmarks on the toolbar) is that icons for the bookmarks (and also for the folders) takes a lot of space. On the other hand, they do provide a visual cue about a bookmark in question. If you can afford ...

Sometimes a user may want to extract audio from a video file for a variety of reasons. For example if it is a video lecture than it might be useful to only get the audio to listen and save some space on the HDD in the mean while.
