On my Bookmarks toolbar, my bookmarks "buttons" show icon AND text. I just want to show icon, not text. When I go right-click.....customize, the window "customize toolbars" opens. Down in the bottom left corner the "show" option dropdown is already set to "icons" (and only icons). But it's just not so. The toolbar buttons show icons AND text. If I cycle through that dropdown just for kicks, it doesn't change; I can choose "icons (only)" all day long, but the toolbar buttons still show text.

ideato 3 months ago Hello dotdot, try the next, right-click on a bookmark and select Properties, then clear the name of the bookmark and save it.
thank you -
the-edmeister 3 months ago Icons [only] doesn't apply to bookmarks, the Bookmarks Toolbar Items part of the Bookmarks Toolbar doesn't work the same as the rest of the Bookmarks Toolbar or the same as the other Toolbars, You need to do the work-around that ideato mentioned.

dotdot 3 months ago I like the multirow, OldFox, thanks for the tip. I'd already deleted the text from most of my "buttons" when your solution came in. Too bad for me. Had I known about multirow first, I'd not have deleted some of the text/names. The autohide of multirow is really nice, and better - I think - than simply adding more toolbars per Firefox' standard "add new toolbar" routine. Thanks.

dotdot 3 months ago Thanks Ideato. I already knew how to do this "delete-one-button-at-a-time" routine. I had hoped there was a more streamlined way such as the one offered by that other popular browser by that other software company. Especially since one opens up that customize window and there's a setting there that leads one to believe that it should work.

cor-el 3 months ago You can also do this with code in the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */ #personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-text { display:none !important; }
