Bookmarks and toolbar custimization

How can I disable the icons on my bookmarks bar, and remove buttons on my toolbar?

You can remove the favicons on the Bookmarks Toolbar with code in userChrome.css.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
The plain text customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon {display:none!important}
</nowiki></pre>

Restore bookmarks and toolbar from backup

I recently had to re-install my OS X software and other applications onto my Powerbook. Before doing so, I copied the entire hard drive onto an external hard drive. I now want to go back and transfer my bookmarks and items that I had added to the Safari toolbar from the backup except I don't know where they reside. Any assistance where these files would be located would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Powerbook G4 Titanium, iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The bookmarks are kept in a file called Bookmarks.plist contained in ~user/Library/Safari. Copying this plist from your backup will also restore the bookmarks you added to the Bookmarks bar. If you customized the buttons on the toolbar, then in Safari go to View > Customize Address Bar and you can drag any of the buttons onto the toolbar.

I just upgraded my Norton Internet Security and I've lost ALL my bookmarks and add-ons. The add-ons aren't a big deal, but can I get my bookmarks back?

After rebooting my PC to finish Norton's installation, I opened Firefox and all of my bookmarks and add-ons were gone. My persona was also missing, too. Is there any way to remedy this without having to go through and re-bookmark every page?
I also found an article entitled, "Bookmarks and toolbar buttons not working after upgrading," to which I was redirected after clicking on the link "Configuring Norton 360" from the article "Lost Bookmarks." However, it says that "This article is no longer maintained, so its content might be out of date."

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

How can i recover my old browser with all my bookmarks and its toolbar

My laptop was running perfectly well till yesterday. today when i opened my laptop there was a HP update required massage window I pressed O.K as always. After a while when update was completed it has put a funny wall paper on my lap top, and worse, my internet browser has been removed. I changed my browser back to Mozilla Firefox, but now I lost all my bookmarks and its toolbar.
I also lost all my user I.Ds and password linked to these I.Ds. Now how can I recover this information? I did ran system recovery couple of time from last months dates but I still unable to get the setting of my orignal browser.

Hello downtownbrown,
You want to restore your files after a refresh.
Once you have run a refresh on your PC everything that was not preinstalled on the system is deleted.
The only way to get the information back on your PC is to have a backup of everything on an external drive.

I am not able to see toolbars, when I open a new window that window is not visible, if I open from bookmarks and there is music playing I hear it but canNOT SEE the websites.

I was able to get window open from the help "window" and open sites from there just not from new: window tab or bookmarks those stay invisible? I tried the help suggestions, safemode,etc.

When NOT using icons on the toolbar, side-bar drop-down for additional toolbar items has disappeared with Firefox 4 and accessing these items requires clicking 'Bookmarks', then 'Show all bookmarks' then 'Toolbar'--ugh, what a pain.

On older versions of Firefox, Toolbar links ran across the top of my screen, with a drop-down to the far right which would show additional Toolbar items for which there was not room on the screen.
With Firefox 4, if I'm not using icons (text only), the dedicated Toolbar drop-down is gone and I have to first click 'Bookmarks' to the right of the Toolbar ribbon, then 'Show All Bookmarks', then 'Toolbar' in order to access my additional Toolbar links. Could anyone have made it any harder?
Why doesn't someone just restore the drop-down at the far right of the Toolbar so that all of my Toolbar items (which I prefer to keep separately from the regular Bookmark items, else I would have just plain bookmarked those items in the first place) are readily accessible?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar). 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. 
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

Is it possible to add a shortcut to one or two very select websites to the navigational toolbar for convenient, one-click entry (i.e., which toolbar currently has buttons for viewing bookmarks and browsing history)?

I would just like to be able to click once to get to one or two very important websites, just as I can now click once to show my viewing history (or scrapbook) in the sidebar.

That's what the bookmarks toolbar is for.
But putting single bookmarks there can fill it up quickly. Rather than a keyboard shortcut you can create a '''keyword shortcut''' for the bookmark, and that bookmark can be anywhere and out of sight. I keep all (most) of my keyword bookmarks in one folder on my bookmarks toolbar with the name beginning with the keyword. Here is an example, next door neighbor liked it for their netbook used at TV
'''Name:''' tv: TV Listings - Find Local TV Shows and Movie Schedules - Listings Grid | TVGuide.com
'''Location:''' http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/
'''Keyword:''' tv:

Certain files contain the current bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar and and could be copied into firefox on another computer. I found these files but they only have my old bookmarks, not my current ones.

In the past, there were certain files in the "Local Settings" and "Application Data" folders that contain my current Bookmarks and current Bookmarks Toolbar contents. I have been able to copy these files to a jumpdrive then use it to bring my CURRENT bookmarks and boomarks toolbar to Firefox on a different computer. When I attempt to do the same now, I get my bookmarks from 2 years ago and nothing at all on my bookmarks toolbar. I have successfully done this as recently as this past February. What happened to them and why can I not do this anymore?
I NEED to have these bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar on my other computers. I do NOT want them uploaded to YOUR servers to be able to do this. The whole reason I use Firefox is to avoid using M$ for the very same reason you are now trying to force on your faithful users. This has been a huge factor for most of us to use Firefox, to get away from IE.

If you have access to Firefox on that computer then export the bookmarks to an HTML file. 
Otherwise you need the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup. 
Note that this will replace all current bookmarks, so in order to keep these you need to export them to an HTML file and reimport that file after you have restored the JSON backup.

How to get back default bookmarks and bookmarks toolbars?

I would like to get back my default bookmarks and those bookmarks on the toolbar.
Where can I find a file with all the default bookmarks for Safari v4.0.5?

What I mean is the bookmarks that you got when you installed Safari for the first time.
Okay. The following procedure will restore your bookmarks to their default state.
(1) Quit Safari if you have it open
(2) Go Start > Open.
(3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
(4) Click the View tab.
(5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
(6) Click OK.
(7) Go Start > Computer.
(8) In Computer open Local Disk C:
(9) Open the Users folder.
(10) Open the folder with the name of the Vista user account in which you want to have default bookmarks showing for your Safari.
(11) Open the AppData folder.
(12) Open the Roaming folder.
(13) Open the Apple Computer folder.
(14) Open the Safari folder.
(15) Drag the Bookmarks plist file out onto your desktop.
Now launch Safari. That should rebuild the Bookmarks plist file, and you'll be seeing the default bookmarks and Bookmarks bar settings.

Where are bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar saved?

I lost part of my hard disk and have to recreate it from a backup. I have reinstalled Firefox but need to get the Bookmarks and Bookmarks Toolbar from my backup. If I know where they are stored I can copy them across to the new version.
Could someone advise in what folders they are stored? And any other files I may need to bring across? I'm using v5
Bob

Wow, thanks very much, cor-el!! I didn't know that feature existed. The only thing I didn't see restored were the unsorted Bookmarks. However thy were among the least important. I got back 280 plus folders and their Bookmarks.
Now, what about the last/second question, pasted here:
Then, whether recovered or not, how do I create separate instances of Firefox, that do not share any files? I don’t mind if the add-ons/extensions, and scripts are duplicated, but I can do that separately.
Also, “firefox.exe –p”, which worked previously, now will not work. The error message is:
"Windows cannot find ‘firefox.exe’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
Thanks again,
Steve

Bookmarks in toolbar jump positions and wont let me move them where i want

i just recently moved and had comcast come setup my internet. They installed alot of homepages and a link in my bookmarks toolbar. i didnt want that stuff so i deleted it. now, all of my bookmarks in the toolbar keep moving around and unorganizing themselves. when i go to drag them back into the order i want, i can move some but only where it wants to go. not where i want it to. when i restart firefox the order is different every time. this is weird. i just want to be able to organize and drag and drop bookmarks but its acting weird and wont let me.

You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.

Pinned tabs and toolbar bookmarks disappearing.

I have set up pinned tabs twice, and they disappeared when i went to a new website. Then I decided to put bookmarks on the toolbar, and they keep disappearing, too. I had no trouble using Firefox on my Windows XP machine, but am now on a Windows 8 laptop.
Actually I think that I tried both bookmarks on toolbar and pinned tabs on a previous Windows 8 laptop, and I think it worked there, fine. Maybe I have something set wrong?
Thanks for being there! I want to stay true to Firefox!

Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
#Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
#*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
#*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
# At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
# Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
# In the new window that appears, click OK.
# Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I can't find my bookmarks,history,and toolbars how do i fix this

I was forced to download firefox 4 because i was unable to get anywhere on the web until i did. Downloaded and printed and followed the steps. "chrome problems" I think they got resolved after deleting and reinstalling numerous times. Now i don't have my bookmarks, history, and toolbars. To open the program is difficult. I have to try shortcuts, the menu icon and the toolbar icon. How can I fix this dreadful mess?

My Boomarks Toolbar works but it deleted my Bookmarks and it wont allow me to add Bookmarks onto the toolbar anymore [SOLVED]

After updating my Multibar couldnt work so i re-installed Mozilla Firefox. Now my Boomarks Toolbar works but it deleted my Bookmarks and it wont allow me to add Bookmarks onto the toolbar. Help Me!

Forget it! I've fixed it now!

In the Navigation toolbar, the Forward/back buttons are dimmed, and the URL bar has "Search Bookmarks and History"

The Forward and Back buttons are dimmed and don't work, and "Search Bookmarks and History" is in the URL bar. Also, I sometimes find blank pages with "Search Bookmarks and History" in the URL bar after visiting some websites.

No, no need to remove other SQLite files in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
