conflict with HP Smart Web Printing add-on

[Guerojefe]

My HP printer software updated and installed a Smart Web Printing add-on to Firefox and IE. This new add-on conflicts with Noscript so that you can't see the icon at the bottom right. In order to see the icon, I disabled the HP add-on in Firefox. Since I can't live w/o Firefox and Noscript I can live w/o the HP add-on. However, it is convenient to have this add-on if there is a fix.

Thanks.

It's difficult to know with certainty without having the HP product, or at least seeing a screenshot and seeing what entries HP made in about:config. However, here are two quick answers:

1) I haven't tried this personally, but the Organize Status Bar add-on claims:

This extension will enable you to organize your status bar icons. You can now rearrange or remove any item (icon or text) in the Firefox status bar.

If you try this, of course we'd be interested in the results.

2) You *do* know that you can use the NoScript menus from the upper Firefox toolbar as well, right? Unless you've removed it, in which case, right-click blank space on the top bar, click "Customize", and drag the NS icon back to one of your toolbars. Then you can click the down-arrow next to the NS icon to open the menu, or just right-click the icon itself.

Does this solve the problem for you?
