Cannot reduce the bookmarks toolbar to favicons only in FF 4.0 beta 1, even after opening "properties" & backspacing all text.

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.

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 ?
thanx

Another extension is Incredible Bookmarks: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/50722

I cannot close the bookmarks toolbar, why?

using the "x" doesn't work.

View > Toolbars - click on the Bookmarks Toolbar to un-check it
Or, right-click the Menubar or the Navigation bar and un-check the Bookmarks Toolbar.

Why is the message 'Plugin container for Firefox has failed' while using ArcadeOX appearing even after un/reinstalling it all?

I am attempting to play online games using the 'ArcadeOX' plugin.
The game will not load and a window pops up with the message 'Plugin container for Firefox has failed'.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both ArcadeOX and Firefox several times and still have the same problem.
Windows 'attempts' to find a solution online but still nothing.

When I want to add items to the bookmarks toolbar, for example: -Zoom toolbar. The zoom Toolbar appears on the bookmarks toolbar, but it shows the favicons aswell the underlined text. I only want the favicons. How to do this, please help!!

I want to add items to the bookmarks toolbar. for example: the Zoom Toolbar addon. This works, but not only the favicons appear on the bookmarks toolbar, aswell as the underlined text. How to avoid this?
I only want the favicons from an addon to appear on the bookmarks toolbar, not with the underlined text. How to do this?
This problem doesn't happen with any other toolbar. And this problem didn't happen with an earlier version of firefox. Please Help!
Thanx, BassMann.

If you only want the favicons and not the names of the bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar, you can do that with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4072/ Smart Bookmarks Bar] add-on.

Is there a way to remove the folder icons from the bookmarks toolbar without removing the favicons for the websites?

Hi
In Firefox , I would like to remove the folder icons in my bookmarks toolbar. However I do not want to remove the favicons (logos) from the websites in the bookmark folders and the bookmarks toolbar.
If possible I would like to use userchrome to do this. (I'm not very good at userchromes though, so a clear explenation would be highly appreciated)
Thanks

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 can i use text only instead of text plus the folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar; older firefox allowed this.

I prefer using text only instead of text plus a folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar because it used less space and I can display more bookmark folders in that toolbar. Is that possible in Firefox 4.0? It was possible in the earlier versions of Firefox. If it is possible in Firefox 4.0 how do I do that? Thank you.

First install the "Stylish:" extension then you have thousands of styles available to choose from, most consist of only a few lines, and you can modify them to suit yourself.

I can not pin bookmarks to 2 new toolbars that I created & it will not show those toolbars in the toolbar menu, how can I get these to show up in the toolbar menu to allow me to pin bookmarks to them it is only showing the bookmark toolbar its full.

I have tried to drag and drop the bkmks to the TB and it will not allow that either. Neither show up in the menu when I am adding a bkmk.

See Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6937
You can't place bookmarks on a new toolbar. You can only place a bookmark on the toolbar that has the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on it.

I like the navigation toolbar to have icons and the bookmarks toolbar to be text only; like Safari. Can I do this in Firefox?

In Safari the Back, Forward, Home buttons etc are Icons only and the bookmarks are text only. Is there a way of doing this in Firefox?
In View/Toolbars/Customize I do not see this option so I have it set as text only. I don't like the icons in the bookmarks toolbar because they take up more space, limiting the number of visible bookmarks

You can look at this extension:
*Bookmarks Deiconizer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer/

Bookmarks change place in the Bookmarks Toolbar, I cannot pinpoint the cause.

I have the following configuration on my home netwok:
1 PC running Windows 7 32bits and latest Firefox release
1 PC running Windows 7 64bits and Nightly Firefox
1 Laptop running Windows XP SP3 and latest Firefox release
1 Tablet running Android Jelly Bean and Firefox for Android
I sync all of them, only bookmarks and Add-ons.
Every time the order of the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar changes, I reorder them and they change again the day after.
I don't know if the cause is related to sync or not.
I don't know if it is related to using the Nightly version.

Do you mean to unlink which device, the "Nightly" PC ?
All my devices are set to sleep at the end of the day, even the Tablet disconnects from the Wi-Fi network when the screen is Off (a new feature in Jelly Bean). Would it be the same as unlinking the devices? I think so. And it happens all the same.
Does Sync saves something locally in each device that tells also the order of the items? Or does Firefox sort the items on the Bookmark Toolbar when it starts?
BTW, to complete the picture:
* the "new" order of the items is not always the same, and it does not follow a specific sorting order (like alphabetic)
* The order changes only once, then it stays the same. Only when I reorder the items it happens again the next day.

I am running Firefox 3.6.13 on MacOS X 10.6.6 and cannot edit bookmarks saved under folders on the bookmarks toolbar, by right clicking on them.

This problem concerns the bookmarks I have saved under folders that are visible in the Bookmarks Toolbar just under the URL window on Firefox. On my firefox browser in Windows XP I can expand one of these folders, right click on a bookmark underneath and I get the properties option which allows me to modify the Name or Location of the Bookmark. Unfortunately I cannot do the same on Firefox running on my Macbook Pro.

If it doesn't work with the Bookmarks toolbar then you can try to do it in the Library (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).

Cannot drag bookmarks onto the Bookmarks toolbar...I get the slash instead

When I try to drag a web address into the Bookmarks toolbar....I Get the circle with a slash in it...I can't add any bookmarks to the bookmarks toolbar. This never happened in older versions of Firebox, only in version 31. Any help? thanks!

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

I cannot see my bookmarks toolbar - the gap is there for it and it is ticked in View and shows in Booksmarks drop-down menu but is invisible (or gone so far to left that it can't be got at), I think it happened after I added eBay sidebar for Firefox.

Any help welcome. I have tried just re-starting Firefox and I have tried adding bookmarks to it, but still can't see it.

This issue can also be caused by a missing "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" 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 Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

How do I show the bookmarks toolbar while in fullscreen on Firefox 20? In older versions you could edit the userChrome.css file. Does that still exist?

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.

Cannot reduce the bookmarks toolbar to favicons only in FF 4.0 beta 1, even after opening "properties" & backspacing all text.
