I cannot customize Bookmarks Toolbar (Mac OS 10.x, Firefox 10.x) so that only the icons show.

At some point when I upgraded Firefox (probably to 10.x) I lost the ability to customize the Bookmarks Toolbar so that only the icons appear on the toolbar. I can customize to show text only, text and icons, but not icons only.

Hi H2OVixen,
Can you please describe how you are applying the update? What is strange is that the profiles and bookmarks are still there after the update.
If you are updating Firefox it would automatically import the profile that it has. However, if there are multiple profiles on the machine, it will pull the default profile. What may be interesting to see if is the profile manager still has all the profiles after the update, as it should ideally.[[Using Multiple Profiles]] Though you did mention that this does not happen to local libraries. I think this may be the issue you are really describing: NAS profiles are not seen after an update, is this correct?
Is it possible to see the profile on the NAS after the update if you open the Profile Manager on launch?
Cheers

I CANNOT CUSTOMIZE MY TOOLBAR AND I AM JUST ABOUT FEDUP WITH FIREFOX

For the past week I have done nothing but try to get my FIREFOX back the way it was before their last update jacked it all up. NOW I CANNOT CUSTOMIZE MY TOOLBAR WHEN I TRY TO ADD IN THE BACK AND FORWARD ICON IT DISAPPEARS TEN TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO ADD IT I''M SO PISSED AT FIREFOX I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS CRAP

Have you tried using the '''Restore Defaults''' button in the Customize palette?
That should restore the entire User Interface to default.
''Unless you are using the CTR add-on that was mentioned to you back in May 2014.''

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

Hi, I am using Firefox 5. Suddenly I lost my bookmarks toolbar even though I have selected it to be visible in the view option. But I can still view the bookmarks toolbar in my all-in one side bar

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to 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"
*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 missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

Grab stopped working on mac 10.6.8 - cant find library/preferences, it is no longer in utilities - only the icon remains unuseable in the dock.

Grab stopped working on mac 10.6.8 - cant find library/preferences, it is no longer in utilities - only the icon remains unuseable in the dock. Can anyone help?

Folks- I got After Effects to launch by installing OS X 10.8. I did not figure out the problem and am not certain it won't pop up again.

When I send or receive e-mails, the icon showing that there is an attachment with the e-mail may or may not appear. I have spoken to Apple and they cannot fix.

When I send or receive e-mails, the icon showing that there is an attachment with the e-mail may or may not appear. I have contacted Apple and they do not have a solution for this issue. This is a huge problem for me.

No, the senders are in most case sending from corporate servers which are almost certainly not Mac based. Also, remember this happens when I send or receive. So if I send something with an attachment, the attachment will go through, but the sent box will not show the paper clip icon so that I can distinguish the emails sent with attachments versus the emails sent without attachments. I receive the attachments as well, but again the paper clip icon does not show up so that I can distinguish the emails that I have received that contain attachments. Recipients of my e-mails have complianed that when they receive an attachment from me they do not see the paper clip icon which alerts them to the fact that the email contains an attachment.

Installed Firefox 4 on Mac OS X 10.6.7. (1) How can I delete icons it added to bookmarks toolbar so they'll all fit again? (2) Where is the Organize Bookmarks tool now?

Don't know what details you might want.

I'm not sure about the 'icons' added to bookmarks toolbars, but you can control your bookmarks using "Show All Bookmarks". That replaced 'Organize Bookmarks'. It will open the bookmark library & you should be able to rearrange, add, delete, etc from here.

After Upgrade to 4.2 cannot get Bookmarks Toolbar to work

<shrugs>

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.

In upgrate 22 and 23.0 the bookmarks toolbar dissapears and after crashing firefox does not allow for recovery

I hate this new upgrade. I basically can't use this browser anymore. I only need firefox to do a few things correctly but if it cannot do these things I cannot use it<br />
1. If firefox crashes (which it does every 30 minutes it just closes completely) then I need for it to be able to restore / recover all previously opened windows when I start it back up again. It does not do this anymore.<br />
2. I use the bookmarks toolbar all the time but frequently it shows up completely blank. So now the only way I can see the bookmarks is if I go to options and deselect bookmarks toolbar and then reselect bookmarks toolbar.
This is so frustrating and worse you make it so you cant do rollbacks! That is insulting and makes me want to not use your browser. A browser is a critical tool not a toy but you guys won't stop playing with it.

Hi joshuad31,
Sorry you are having problems. It should not be crashing and should not be messing up your bookmarks. I do not have any such problems.
*If Firefox is actually crashing, as opposed to hanging then a couple of the Crash IDs would help.
** see [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]]
* if firefox has been frequently hanging and restarting offering the option to restore sessions then that has probably overloaded the session restore and you will need to delete the multiple copies of files.
** see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_delete-duplicated-session-restore-files]]'''_delete-duplicated-session-restore-files'''
** you will loose information doing that, normally I would suggest bookmarking the open tabs, but I am not sure that would work for you.
To get Firefox running again you may initially need to use Firefox's safemode and disable all your plugins. Or do a reset.
* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
*[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] (Read the warnings before you try this)
I note you have VMware, scripting software and an enterprise edition extension. Is this machine used in an enterprise / corporate environment ?
I will deal with the bookmarks toolbar issue later, crashing/hanging is a higher priority.

Moving Bookmarks toolbar to very top in Firefox 4

I want to move the bookmarks toolbar to the very top of the browser window.
For instance, when the Menu Toolbar is enabled, I would like this result:
[http://i55.tinypic.com/309ua0m.jpg http://i55.tinypic.com/309ua0m.jpg]
When the Menu Toolbar is dis-abled, I would like this result:
[http://i52.tinypic.com/k2obpj.jpg http://i52.tinypic.com/k2obpj.jpg]
I have not been able to find anything that accomplishes this. The current way is a waste of real estate.

# Right click on your title bar and select Customize...
# Your Bookmarks Toolbar should appear. Left click and drag Bookmarks Toolbar Items either to the left or to the right of your tabs bar.
# Select Done

You may have to adjust your icons such as New Tab as it may be be moved to a different spot if not placed properly. You can adjust them back to where they were by default or wherever you want them by going back to Customize...

Why does the Right-click -> "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click -> "t" opens a new tab elsewhere in Firefox.

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.<br />
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

defaultPref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.directories", true);
defaultPref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar", true);

You can see your bookmark toolbar by right click on the top of firefox and select "bookmark toolbar". The toolbar will shown when you open firefox

I cannot customize Bookmarks Toolbar (Mac OS 10.x, Firefox 10.x) so that only the icons show.
