Firefox Quantum Web Developer toolbar not showing the dropdown for hidden options.

more options

I recently upgraded to Firefox Quantum. Its Web Developer toolbar not showing the drop-down for hidden options. I have to enlarge the toolbar to full width and then reduce its width to get the drop-down button every time. It was appearing in Firefox 56 that I was using earlier. It becomes very hard to navigate through the developer tools as most of the tools are hidden because of overflow. I tried testing on Ubuntu and Windows, the same problem exists! Can anyone suggest a solution or this is a bug in firefox?

If wanting to use the tools then move to the Developers Edition. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/

You do not have to uninstall this version as there is a compatibility mode at the end of the install say yes to running both, can leave this one as default and just open the other for working or open both.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

It seems there are too many items on the toolbar. I'm not sure what is supposed to happen in that case.

Maybe try here:

I wasn't using the developer version of Firefox 56. It showed the drop-down of the other hidden tools. Now I need to expand it every time. Its troublesome for a developer!!!
