It can be done but will need to learn to code or copy/paste others code for that to work. As to where that code is for that exact wish I have no idea. USSER CHROME URL'S

I would like to use icons to identify my link folders instead of generic folder and words. I have this capability on Internet Explorer.

Do you mean that you want to change all the gray folders to a different icon (same icon for all), or that you want to customize the icon for each folder (which seems like a much more complicated project)?

Internet Explorer has the option to add Individual icons for each folder as an attribute kept in the properties tab of each folder. I create my own .ico files and use them to cut down the visual noise on the favorites bar.

It is the one feature on Internet Explorer that keeps me from abandoning it altogether and the only feature that keeps me from fully embracing Firefox. Microsoft Edge doesn't have this feature either.

Fyi : no such thing in Firefox called the favorites bar

Firefox calls it bookmarks.

Sorry, I think because of the new Security for Firefox you will not find at this time ant extensions that do what would like and the default bookmarks lack that for folders. Though you can edit a bookmark so when mouse over it it can say what you want to.

To submit suggestions for new or changed features, may I suggest: Feedback: https://qsurvey.mozilla.com/s3/FirefoxInput/ or https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/add-ons

Internet Explorer uses a file and folder structure on the hard drive and thus can easily change the icon of a favorite file and folder. Edge and Firefox use a database file and would require a lot more work.

You can experiment with code like this in userChrome.css to see if that works. The bookmark-name needs to be exact and the bookmark-icon needs to be in the chrome folder where userChrome.css is located. Remove the [container] attribute if you need it for regular bookmarks.

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container][label="bookmark-name"],
#bookmarksMenuPopup .bookmark-item[container][label="bookmark-name"] {
 list-style-image:url('bookmark-icon.png')!important;
 -moz-image-region:auto!important;
}

Thanks very much for your time and your answer.
