I'm not any kind of expert, but it would appear to me that there
wouldn't be a toolbar thingy you could make that would be for every
browser. Nevertheless... Mozilla Firebird uses something called an
extension. Developers write them to add functionality to the Firebird
browser. Many times this functionality adds a toolbar. You could try
looking in to this for more insight into where to go next. Go to
mozilla.org and look for Firebird extensions.
It sounds like you want to write something to spy on others' browsing?
Otherwise, there already is a button in the toolbar to view the history
of where you've been browsing. Sounds less like a browser plugin than
some kind of network tool.
Otherwise you are wanting to write a real plugin, like the shockwave
flash or adobe SVG viewer? No answers here, but maybe someone else?
