Readability add-on buttons are not possible to hide from toolbar.

I have installed Readability add-on from the official website - https://www.readability.com/addons This adds three buttons left off my navigation bar, as depicted here - https://i.imgur.com/SgYjJnp.png Ideally, I would like to move "Read" button moved to Australis menu and other two buttons hidden entirely, however, whenever I restart the browser, the buttons are kept in their initial position. This was not the cause with any other add-ons I have installed. There is no difference between right clicking those buttons and pressing "Move to Menu"/"Remove from Toolbar" or dragging them to desired locations via "Customize" button in Australis menu, the outcome is the same. Please help.

It may not be a Firefox issue. Have you contacted Readability support? Have you checked the options in the add-on? It could be the button position is preset.

Some extensions do reposition their buttons at startup but I haven't heard about this one before. Does Firefox have trouble remembering any other changed icons positions on the toolbar or between the toolbar and menu? If so, then it could be one of the issues in this article: How to fix preferences that won't save.

FredMcD, I have contacted add-on developers via contact form just now. Options within the add-on do not provide the feature to hide mentioned buttons. jscher2000, this issue have not persisted within any other add-ons I have installed and I currently have over 20 of them installed.
