How do I add a space to the toolbar in Firefox 29.0? I can grab a space from empty areas and move it around, but where do I find a "space" icon to ADD a space?

It has been useful in past versions of Firefox to be able to add (a) space(s) between icons on the toolbar in order to create groups of icons and/or separate icons by class or function. In Firefox 29.0, I discovered how to "grab" (click and drag) a space from open areas on the toolbar and move it to another part of the toolbar. But how can I add spaces to the toolbar? In past versions, there used to be a space icon in the customize menu set that could be dragged to the toolbar for that purpose.

Sorry, the new Australis UI did away with the "space" in Customize. There may be an extension for adding back the "space", but I am not aware of it.

You can get around this problem by installing the "Classic Theme Restorer Add-on" available at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-make-new-firefox-look-like-old-firefox

While returning the squared-off look to your tabs, instead of the newer, rounded version - it also gives returns the option to add spaces; variable size spaces, and separators to your tool-bars.
