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.

  • 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

    Thanks

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed 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
    You can only move the content from a toolbar onto other toolbars if all toolbars support that feature. You need to check that in the options of each toolbar.

  • How do I get the bookmarks on the dropdown in addition to the menu items?

    I used to be able to click on the bookmark icon and have my bookmarks appear on the dropdown along with the menu choices. Now, all I get is the menu choices and I have to click Bookmark Toolbar and then Bookmarks to see the bookmarks. How do I get the bookmarks on the first dropdown without clicking through?

    Do you mean the Bookmarks Menu button on the Bookmarks Toolbar?
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

  • 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.

  • I just installed Firefox 4. How can I get the "✪Bookmarks▼" out of the way on the right end of my Bookmarks Toolbar so that I can see more of my "normally seen" bookmarks? in English

    With my previous edition of Firefox, I had more bookmarks shown in the toolbar. I like it that way rather than having to move to the right and then scroll. How can I get that feature back?

    You can remove the Bookmarks Menu button on the Bookmarks Toolbar with code in userChrome.css
    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 do I get my bookmark toolbar back on the top instead of in a drop down box under bookmarks.

    I have a check mark in the "view bookmark toolbar" but it still doesn't show. This just changed after I turned my computer on again. When you go to bookmarks and click on "bookmark toolbar", all the websites are still there, but I want them to show up again across the top of my page. Help please!

    You can try go to your profile folder:
    *[https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data Profiles]
    Close Firefox. Delete or rename the file localstore.rdf and restart Firefox and try show your bookmarks
    Also, maybe the bookmarks toolbar is in the customize window, go to '''View''' >> '''Toolbar''' >> '''Customize''' look for the bookmarks toolbar drag and drop on the toolbar and close the window

  • How do you get the bookmarks list permanently displayed on the left side of the screen?

    I somehow managed to get the bookmarks permanently open and displayed in a vertical column on the left side of the screen. I accidentally closed it and cannot get it to display again. How do you manage to get the bookmark list permanently open and displayed again? Thank you.

    Hello exoticdoc2, see if the next [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/all-in-one-sidebar/ All-in-One Sidebar add-on] it is useful for you, it is more than a sidebar bookmarks toolbar.

  • How can i restore the bookmarks toolbar that i had before this upgrade?

    where did you guys put the bookmarks toolbar in this new firefox?

    Hi ronbar59, when you're in the Customize mode, can you confirm that "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" is on the correct bar and not somewhere else in the interface?

  • 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.

  • How do I remove the bookmark toolbar icons for websites? After updating to Firefox 22, add-ons don't help.

    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 do I set the bookmarks toolbar to text only? Changed to Icon + Text in v4.

    I can't seem to disable this - no preferences or context menu options that I can find.
    Thanks for your help.

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