How do I show icons only (ie no text) in the Bookmarks Toolbar as I can do in earlier versions of Firefox?
I could just show icons in the Bookmarks Toolbar in previous Firefox versions but was this done via an Add-on? Anyway, would like to do this in Firefox 4 (beta 6). I can delete the text item by item but this is laborious and means that the text no longer displays when I hover the mouse over the icon. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you can't find an extension that works in a Firefox 4.0 beta then you can use code in userChrome.css instead.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration#How_to_edit_configuration_files
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item .toolbarbutton-text {
display:none!important;
}
Thanks, will do as you suggest. Regards
For those who don't want to modify userchrome, there is an extension that works great: bookmarks-deiconizer https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer/https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer/
People in this thread are looking for a way to hide the text, not the icon. I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to get rid of the icon, but to each their own.
right click on the bookmarked site, click properties, delete the name, leave the location, save, and the icons will be there without text. don't need to do anything fancy! hope this helps.
