How do I enlarge the bookmark icons on the toolbar?

Is there a way to make the icons on the bookmark toolbar bigger? They are very small; sometimes difficult to view.

You can add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
/* enlarge icons on the Bookmarks Toolbar */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon {
height: 24px !important;
width: 24px !important;
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.<br>Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

Thanks, but this one is too difficult for me to figure out. :-(

  • How do I move the Bookmark icon to the left side of the screen in Firefox 8.0?

    I am left handed and after all this time I've lost both the bookmarks icon and the homepage icon to the far right of the screen. Why did you do that, to look like Windows Explorer? If I wanted IE8.0 I would have been using it. And the default search engine is Bing? At least there is a work around to change that. You have really made a mess of this outstanding product.

    I can't open the Bookmarks icon in the toolbar.

    Hi there,
    Could you clarify what you mean with the Bookmark icon? Either with a screenshot or by describing how it looks like.
    Here is a general Bookmarks tutorial that shows how to use bookmarks in Firefox. Maybe it can be of help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-bookmarks-to-save-and-organize-websites
    Thanks!

  • My toolbar doesnt have the bookmark icon on the far right

    no bookmark icon

    Depending on which view you are using there may or may not be a Firefox button if you see the File, View, etc.. buttons then click on View --> Toolbar's --> Customize. If the menu bar is not visible you can press the ALT key on your keyboard to make it appear and disappear. Then click and drag the "Bookmarks" icon to the place where you want it on the toolbar. You can also hit restore default set to reset the toolbar to the default settings.

  • I have an iPhone 3GS and when I go on safari and press the bookmark icon at the bottom of the screen all the search engine have gone such as google, yahoo, bing can someone explain how I've made them go and how do I get them back :-(

    Hello
    I got an iPhone 3GS and in safari the bookmark icon when pressed use to reveal a listing of different search engines (google, yahoo, bing etc) with a users guide at the bottom of the listings but now they've gone .
    How has this happen?
    How to I restore them?

    How do I find out if someone has taken the time to answer my question. This is my first time on this site.

  • Can you set up the bookmarks icon in the toolbar to display a vertical list of bookmarks on hover, rather than by clicking it?

    I think I used to be able to hover over the bookmarks toolbar affordance (the clipboard icon to the right of the star) and all my bookmarks would display in a vertical list as they do when I click the clipboard icon. Is this possible?

    This Add-on - [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mouseover-bookmarks-toolbar/?src=search Mouseover Bookmarks Toolbar] will open folders in the bookmarks toolbar by pointing, but that's as near as I can get for what you want.
    Hope that may help.

  • I lost the bookmarks icon on the right side of the menu bar on the top.

    I used to have the star on the right side of my header at the top of the page. Somehow it disappeared and I am unable to restore it. (I still have the Bookmarks drop down in the Menu Bar, that is not what I am missing.)

    Been through the exact same runaround as the original poster, very confusing and annoying.
    So the specific solution is a three-step process:
    1. HIDE THE MENU bar by un-checking it in "View"--this gives you the orange Firefox button. NOW you will automatically also be seeing our beloved Bookmarks drop-down on the right of the search box again! Yay!
    2. Think to yourelf: Why can't I have both the Menu bar (with "Bookmarks" in it) AND the bookmarks dropdown on the Navigation bar? WHY?? Redundancy is MY CHOICE if I want it. And I do. User should be allowed to choose features on Nav bar independently of what's on other bars. (Obviously.) Programmers should not be allowed to make overriding choices for users about these things. Programmers are terrible at UI design and should be kept out of it aggressively. A separate team should do the UI design, and protect it from programmers.
    3. Use the feedback links to tell the "clever" Firefox re-designers to PLEASE LEAVE THE CONTROL INTERFACE ALONE. When a billion people get used to things being a certain way, and they more or less like it that way, and you change it, that means that a billion people will experience a billion hours of frustration and anxiety trying to figure out what the f happened to their trusted, well-liked button or menu. You do not have the right to inflict this suffering--leave it alone. The UI belongs to the users--NOT to the programmers. If it's not broke, DON'T FIX IT!

  • I can't export my bookmarks because I can't access the bookmarks icon on the address bar. It is hidden so I can't get to the library where it shows the export

    The export process described in the help section works fine on older versions of Firefox and I have used this when I ran Windows XP, but now I'm on W7 and my browser does not display the bookmarks option to export bookmarks to an HTML file. How do I get to this utility?

    One other thought:
    Some users have reported that their Bookmarks drop-down button disappeared after upgrading Firefox. You can reset your toolbar buttons using the Customize feature and see whether that helps restore it. See: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]].

  • When I click the bookmark icon on the Google tool bar I am asked to login which I do but still can't access my bookmarks.

    My OS is Vista Business and I'm using Firefox version 8. I'm using the Google Tool Bar and have an icon for Bookmarks but when I click it a message pops up "Sign in to access your Google bookmarks. I sign in but still can't access my bookmarks.

    The Google Toolbar isn't compatible with versions of Firefox beyond Firefox 4. If you are overriding extension compatibility to get to be enabled in Firefox 8, that isn't going to work since Google changed the logon URLs a couple of months ago; that broke the Google Toolbar even further.

  • How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages, How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages

    I struggle to believe that I am the only person experiencing this problem.
    I just hope somebody has the decency to spend a couple of minutes replying with a resolution.
    Every time I click the + sign on my iPad, Safari to open a new tab page..
    I am greeted by loads of icons / boxes that are links to my bookmarks.
    I want to delete those icons / boxes from the page
    If I want to visit one of my bookmarks I use the bookmark icon at the top right of the page.
    If I long press on the icons they do not wobble / delete
    How can I delete them ?
    I dislike them so much I am beginning to think that I will have to stop using safari,
    and use a different search engine.....but I shouldn't have to.

    If you don't want to see these bookmarks when you open a new tab and you don't want to delete them you'll need to move them. Now as you probably know there isn't really a move function for Bookmarks in iPad, so what I'd recommend is Tap Bookmarks>Favourites tap one of the bookmarks in this folder and when it loads up save it to another location on your iPad - repeat for all bookmarks in this folder, once done tap Bookmarks>Favourites select EDIT and delete all bookmarks in the favourites folder.
    You need to bear in mind that FAVOURITES is simply a folder storage area for Bookmarks so any bookmarks you delete from this folder won't be available under Bookmarks unless you follow the process outlined above.

  • How do i move my bookmarks back to the left hand side after synching?

    Hi there,
    I had to get a new lap-top and i synched the settings from my old Mozilla to this new lap-top.
    It synched quite a lot of stuff; however, on this new lap-top the Bookmarks etc are all to the top right of the
    screen but i really need the to be on the left like it was before.
    Is there a way to move them across to my left?
    I saw 1 other person asked this question but i did not understand the answer there.
    The old lap top said it was Mozilla 34.0.5
    This new one has the latest download.
    I'm wondering if that is the reason the settings have moved over to the right?
    Be really grateful if someone can tell me asap how to move them back to the left!
    I only have basic pc knowledge!
    thanks so much

    It sounds like you're looking for the bookmarks sidebar. Try clicking on the bookmarks icon in your toolbar (the button just to the right of the star), and selecting "View bookmarks sidebar".
    If this isn't what you're after, and you just want to move the bookmarks button, you can do this by right-clicking on the same button and selecting "Customise". Once you've done that, you can drag the button to wherever you'd like it on the toolbar, and confirm the change by clicking the green "Exit customise" at the bottom-right of the Firefox window.

  • We have a new iPad Mini.  I cannot save a new Bookmark.  In Safari, I go to "Share" and select "Add a Bookmark" yet when I click on the Bookmarks icon, my saved Bookmark is not there.  Am I doing something wrong?

    We have a new iPad Mini, and I'm having inconsistent results using Bookmarks in the Safari icon.
    For a long time, on the iPad, I could only see five items under the Bookmark icons and the Bookmarks Bar was empty. 
    Occasionally, in Safari, the iPad would pick up and display all of the Bookmarks from the Safari browser on my iMac. 
    Other times, there are only a bare few Bookmarks available on the iPad, the Bookmarks Bar goes away and I cannot save a new Bookmark.  It looks like I can save one, but I cannot find it after allegedly saving. 
    Then, all of the Bookmarks will come back and I can save a new Bookmark again. We can't figure out why all of the Bookmarks will show and then they won't.
    I want to think this involves iCloud some way, but for right now, I'm stumped.  Perhaps we're just too inexperienced and haven't come around the learning curve yet.
    Thanks for any help.
    Steve

    No, I see the three areas at the bottom of the Bookmark area that you refer to, but that also highlights an issue.  When I want to save a story to my Reading List and click on Share then "Add to Reading List" then go back to look at what is stored in the Reading List, my recently-saved item is not there.
    I looked thru the History tab and the Reading List tab and have been in the Bookmark tab.  But even when I Save a Bookmark, that newly-saved Bookmark does not show up in the Bookmark area.
    But then again, the next day (and actually just in the last half-hour) all of the functionality came back.  When I look at the Bookmarks, suddenly, again, all of the Bookmarks that are on my Safari browser on my iMac are now there, and I can now Save a Bookmark.
    It keeps coming in and out and that is what is driving me a little nuts.
    Thanks.
