How do I make the buttons on the bookmarks toolbar smaller?

I'd like to have more space in the toolbar by removing the extra space around the icon thus making the button smaller. As it is now I have 3/16 of an inch of space between each icon, when I mouse over each there is a greyish button behind each icon using up valuable space. I've searched Google for this but was unsuccessful at finding anything related to this exact issue...
Is there a way to remove this wasted space and have just the icon itself as the button like it was in FF3?
Is there an "About:config: entry that addresses this?
An add-on maybe?

I don't know what CSS is used on a Mac to style that button.
You can try the below posted code in userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.

In windows 8 how do you make the bookmarks column "flexible"? I used to be able to make it narrower.

Windows 8 how do you make the bookmarks column "flexible"?

Is the problem with the Bookmarks Sidebar -- the one you can open and close by pressing Ctrl+b? It does seem to have a minimum width and won't get narrower than that, but I'm not sure whether you are running into that limitation or whether for some reason you are not getting the resizing arrow when you mouse over the thin border between the sidebar and the page.

Yes. It's at the minimum size via that method, but is much too large. I like to have it open always and in the previous OS the window was much smaller. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.

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.

How do you make the address toolbar colour follow the Windows theme colour?

Firefox used to follow the Windows 7 theme in the address toolbar; if the windows are coloured green then the address toolbar is coloured green. Now the Address toolbar is a gross grey-blue colour. Previously, only the tabs and the bookmarks toolbar had their own yucky grey-blue colour, but it's spread upward!
How do I change this?
I would really love any solutions that did not require me to install a new theme, as whenever I have done that in the past it has always impaired performance (slows down the loading of the browser).

You can use a custom style rule to change the color. Custom style rules can be applied to the user interface either using the Stylish extension or by creating a file named userChrome.css in your profile (settings) folder.
To create the rule, though, I think someone might need to see the particular shade of green. I don't know whether it is possible to detect that automatically.
Alternately, you could make the background of the address bar transparent so the color behind it shows through. There's an example of that kind of rule in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1000123]. If that looks too naked, one might try a translucent background (e.g., white, but only 10% opaque so most of the background color shows through).

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. 
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

I can't make the Bookmarks Toolbar display anything but the tiniest, blank icons.

I keep trying to customize the Bookmarks Toolbar, but I can;t make text appear in any size, and I can't make the icons larger (like the size shown in your help instructions on this topic). All I have is tiny, blank icons and no text to go with it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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 to ensure that the bookmarks toolbar stays sisplayed at all times.

In the current version of Firefox, the bookmarks toolbar is hidden by default. Is there a way of canging this?
Perhaps by tweaking a setting in 'about:config'?
It was suggested that I replace the 'localstore.rdf' file.... But this makes no difference at all, correction, it works for a couple of times and then reverts to a 'Hidden' toolbar again.
Help!
Any other suggestions please?
Kind regards
Bob
