How do I change/add icons on the bookmark toolbar?

I'm really new to Firefox and having a little trouble customizing the appearance. On the bookmark toolbar, some "buttons" have icons that represent the website...google, for instance, has the blue square with "g" in the center, duckduckgo has the duck head icon. Some websites however don't automatically show an icon on the bookmark button. Some show nothing, while others show a dotted square. Is there anyway to set an icon for these buttons? I can do that using IE but can't seem to figure out how to on Firefox.

It works but is nothing like the original solution.
Its a pity that the Firefox Team broke the add-on repeatedly and never bothered to fix the base issue which is the adding and changing of the bookmarks icon should be a BASE feature of Firefox!

There are two extensions that help you apply your choice of an image for any Bookmark, not just the BTB icons. Choose one extension based upon the features it has,

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.

How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you

I try to get as many items as I can in the bookmarks menu toolbar (typically using 3 letter names). F4 adds an icon next to each name - taking up valuable space. How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you.

If you remove the names then you may have a problem with organizing or searching for bookmarks. 
If you do not want to use the extension then you can achieve the same effect with code in userChrome.css 
That is what I would do.
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

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.

Printing from the print icon on the Bookmarks toolbar produces gibberish. Printing from Firefox, print works fine

I am using the final release of firefox 4.0, and when I print using the print icon on the Bookmarks toolbar, all I get is gibberish....random letters scattered on the page. But if I click on the Firefox tab and Print from there, the page prints fine.

Same problem, could not print web page. Deleted HP Smart Web Print program. Print function worked after removal. Firefox 4 Beta 8

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/

How can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar in 4.0 so I just have text there (fit more bookmarks in visible portion) but not switch off other icons?

How can I change the bookmarks toolbar so that it shows only text and not icons (so I can fit more bookmarks on the visible portion) in 4.0 without turning off other icons? This was easy in version 3.

You can do that with the Bookmarks Deiconizer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer

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

Add code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

How can I delete the repeated bookmarks icons in the bookmarks toolbar?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [[/questions/879742]]</blockquote>
My Firefox 6.02 bookmarks toolbar shows the same two bookmarks repeatedly (3 times and two times) so there is no space for the favourite bookmarks I had originally. How can I delete the repeated bookmarks icons in the toolbar? I tried to drag them to trash, but without success. I could not do it from view/ toolbars/customize either.

This is a duplicate, please see my suggested answer [/questions/879742#answer-251913] <-- clickable link --

How do I increase the size of the icons on the Bookmarks Toolbar in Waterfox 16

One would assume this would be an option when customizing the toolbars. When I was doing FF betas, i reported this and later suggested it.
(the previous similar question was closed in 2011 and the answer doesnt apply)

I assume that the same CSS code in userChrome.css that works in Firefox should also work with Waterfox.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

How can I shrink the spacing between the icons in the bookmarks toolbar?

Hello everyone!
I would like to open up some space in my bookmarks toolbar (also on the navigation toolbar if I can) by reducing the spacing between the icons. Is there any way to do this without the need of some third party program? If not, which one should I download?
Curious thing is that a few days ago I did not have this problem at all, all my bookmarks were visible in the toolbar regularly, neat and tight. Now there is that boring guillemet sitting there at the corner...
And this is the line where I thank you quite a bit for your interest towards my problem. So thank you very much:)
With respect
Arial

You're welcome
You can also remove the text labels with code in userChrome.css and if necessary adjust the margins as you like.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

How can I change/add keywords into the TB routine, when asking for missing attachments? e.g. German vs. English

Heja
I'm using the German TB version (well you can blame me but its now as it is :O)
Nice thing is that TB asks when keywords appear to make me not to forget the attachment. But can I add here kewords? I use the German version but half of my day I write english mails. I'd like TB to search not only for the German expression but also the english term(s) for attachment etc.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
cheers
Marten

You could try adding an English word like 'Attach'
Tools > Options > Composition > General tab
or
Menu icon > Options > Options > Composition > General tab
click on 'keywords' button.
You can also get to same Options window from a new Write window.
Type eg: 'attach' or what ever it is in german to get Write to think an attchment needs to be added.
at the bottom on the left side, it will say 'Found an attachment keyword' - probably in german.
click on those words to open the same Options Keywords window
Then you can add words in English eg: 'attach', 'attachment', 'attaching'
