[Customizing mode][Firefox/Waterfox 56] How to add spaces and separators?

[Telmesomething]

After installing CTR in Waterfox 56, I'm unable to add spaces between the buttons on the toolbar. Dragging a space from the Customize menu takes it up there, but is doesn't remain in place. Same goes for flexible spaces.

In the top half of the attached screenshot a space has been dragged to the spot indicated by the red arrow, but after releasing the mouse button, the space has been removed and has reappeared in the Customize panel.

Here's what it looks like after closing the Customize menu.

Waterfox 56 and Firefox 56 do not support spaces, flexible spaces and separators anymore.

Thanks for letting me know Aris.

It's a real shame then that the Waterfox developer decided to base it on FF56 because not having the option to add separators in between toolbar buttons means that they're all cluttered up together.

There's a workaround. Add them via their context menu, then you can move them.

Workaround

Whilst customising, use the contextual menu.

This screenshot was taken after adding a flexible space, divider and space:

Sorry for the duplication. #383 (comment) above was not shown until after I had posted this comment. (Waterfox, like Firefox, suffers terribly from stale representations of content with sites such as GitHub.)

Magic! Just what the doctor ordered. Thanks very much mzso.

Many thanks also to grahamperrin for the screenshot.
