Is it possible to replace the folder image in the bookmarks list with little images to help identify the folder. I see that many places I have bookmarked automatically come with a little picture (the CBS "eye", New York Times Old English Script).

Question

When I open my list of bookmarks most of the folders I have established have only the little file folder icon to the left. I would like to replace this file folder with some little picture or symbol to make the folders more easily identifiable. Is this possible?

Answer 1

There aren't extensions that can replace the favicon of a bookmarks folder AFAIK, so you will have to do that via code in userChrome.css in the chrome folder below the @namespace line.

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

Folder names (label="name") are cases sensitive and need to match exactly what you get via the properties
Pace the folder-icon.png icons in the same chrome folder.
This code works for icons on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
<pre><nowiki>#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container][label="Folder_Name"]{
list-style-image:url('folder-icon.png')!important;
-moz-image-region:auto!important;
</nowiki></pre>
