How do I set the bookmarks toolbar to text only? Changed to Icon + Text in v4.
I used to have only text in the bookmarks toolbar in version 3. Now that I'm in version 4, I see a folder icon or the website's icon and the text.
I can't seem to disable this - no preferences or context menu options that I can find.
Thanks for your help.
William
You can do that with the Bookmarks Deiconizer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer

How do I set my bookmark toolbar to text and all other toolbars to icons?
It seems I can change all toolbars to either be text or icons. I want the look of Firefox 3. In Firefox 3 the bookmarks toolbar was text only wile the navigation toolbar was icons. I can't figure out how to have my Back/Forward/Home buttons be icons with my Bookmarks in the toolbar be text only.
'''Bookmarks Toolbar Add-ons''':
*https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer/ (performs just that one function)
*https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/roomy-bookmarks-toolbar/ (Does much more; settings in Add-ons > Options, "Icon Settings" tab)
'''To show "icons only" on toolbars''' (other than Bookmarks Toolbar), follow the instructions in the article below to open the "Customize Toolbar" window, the at the bottom left, change "Show" to "Icons", then click "Done" at the bottom right of the "Customize Toolbar" window.

How can I show the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox 6 all the time?
The bookmarks toolbar is hidden by default in Firefox 6, and "view bookmarks toolbar" will only show it until a link is clicked or the tab is changed. How can I display the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox 6 all the time?
On your toolbar area right click an empty space and open Customize.
Then drag the bookmark icon up to your toolbar area and drop. -
In the bookmarks toolbar, I want ONLY the icons, not words -- how do I do it?
Once upon a time, there was a way to dump the description of the items in the bookmarks toolbar and leave ONLY the icons, but, when the mouse scrolls over them, the descriptors pup on.
It is that way on my laptop, but, after a wipe are re-install of my xP, I cannot get my bookmark toolbar to do that.
How is it done ?

How can I keep the bookmarks toolbar open down the side?
How can I keep the bookmarks toolbar open down the side?
View > Sidebar, click Bookmarks to place a check mark ~~red:'''''OR'''''~~ Ctrl+B
If the Bookmarks Sidebar is open when you Exit Firefox (File > Exit), it will be open when you start Firefox again. -
After searching for this option, it appears it was very easy to do in older versions of firefox on windows 7. Many posts say you can edit the userChrome.css file to add:
#PersonalToolbar[moz-collapsed="true"] {
visibility: visible !important;
However, on 2 machines with firefox 20, I've searched for that file and cannot find it. Does it even exist any more? if not, how can I set firefox to go to fullscreen mode and continue to show the bookmarks toolbar? Unchecking hide toolbars does not work for the bookmarks toolbar.userChrome.css does not exist by default. You can create it; it's an ordinary text file. Note that you do need a namespace at the beginning of the file.
You could try this:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#PersonalToolbar[moz-collapsed="true"]{
visibility: visible !important;
#navigator-toolbox[inFullscreen="true"]{
margin-top:-62px !important;
I added the second rule to prevents the toolbar area from rolling all the way up. The specific value may need to be adjusted by a few pixels depending on your toolbar heights. -
I have a bunch of bookmarks in my bookmarks toolbar. How can I make my bookmarks toolbar display only text but have my other toolbars (navigation, etc.) display only icons? It seems like I have to choose between icon, icon and text, or text for all of the toolbars. I want it to look like it did with my old version of Firefox. All my bookmarks in the toolbar fit, but now they dont because I cant get rid of the icons.
You can do that with the Bookmarks Deiconizer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer

How do I get the bookmarks toolbar to show on top like before?
I can only get my bookmarks to show up in the library or in the library on the sidebar; I want them on top in a toolbar format.
Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.<br />
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

In the Bookmark Toolbar, the icons for websites take up too much space and are distracting. I used to use the Bookmarks - Deiconizer add-on but after updating to Firefox 22 it doesn't work anymore.
I tried adjusting the userChrome.css as in other posts but that does not work.
Please help!Hi haweyext,
Did you see this thread from yesterday:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/964732 How do I keep the icons out of my Bookmarks Toolbar (tried Bookmarks Deiconizer) even after downloading files?]
If userChrome.css isn't working (note: you need to exit and restart Firefox before it takes effect), you can apply that rule to Firefox using the Stylish extension instead.
Does any of that help? -
How to ensure that the bookmarks toolbar stays sisplayed at all times.
In the current version of Firefox, the bookmarks toolbar is hidden by default. Is there a way of canging this?
Perhaps by tweaking a setting in 'about:config'?
It was suggested that I replace the 'localstore.rdf' file.... But this makes no difference at all, correction, it works for a couple of times and then reverts to a 'Hidden' toolbar again.
Help!
Any other suggestions please?
Kind regards
BobYou may be visiting a web page that wants to disable that toolbar.

How do I get the bookmarks toolbar's width to autofit to its buttons when placed next to tabs?
FF4: I'd like to be able to put the bookmark toolbar right next to my tabs (not above or below). However, when I do this, the width of the toolbar does not shrink down to fit only the buttons, i.e. the bookmarks toolbar takes up a lot of blank space.
This happens whether placing it on the right or left, or when placing tabs in the bookmarks toolbar.
To ask the question in another way, is there any way to autofit the bookmarks toolbar to its contents when placing next to tabs?Thanks for the reply.
That's actually exactly what I intend to do. I've tried this both with and without the extension installed. The attached image includes two screenshots: (top) bookmarks toolbar to the left and (bottom) to the right.
When placed to the left, the tabs end up way over to the right and not up against the bookmark toolbar's contents, restricting the amount of space for tabs to fill.
When placed to the right, the bookmark toolbar's contents are not right justified and, again, restricting room for tabs.
Hopefully this clarifies my question. -

In Firefox 4.0 beta 1, cannot drag a favicon to the bookmarks toolbar, then open "Properties" and clear the "Name" text so that only the favicon is displayed--it defaults to favicon + web address. This trick allowed me to fit in more favicons on the toolbar in previous versions of Firefox.
Add code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration#How_to_edit_configuration_files
