Want to save space on my bookmarks toolbar by removing favicons, but can't figure out how to do it. Edited the favicon settings in about:config, but to no avail.

You can do this with the Hide Favicons extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-favicons/

Sorry - should have added that I'm using Mac Snow Leopard - that extension is Windows-only.

Try to add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

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

#PlacesToolbarItems .toolbarbutton-icon {display:none!important;}

Thanks - but unclear how all this works. Instructions for mere mortals?

You can use the ChromEdit Plus extension to have easier access to the file userChrome.css in the chrome folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Make sure that the file has the @namespace line at the top of the file and add the above posted code below that line.

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

#PlacesToolbarItems .toolbarbutton-icon {display:none!important;}

For those who doesn't have a userChrome.css file: You have to create one. Open TextEdit and create a file, save it to your Desktop and rename it to "userChrome.css". After that create the "chrome" folder in your profile folder (you can open the profile folder with ChromeEdit Plus) und drag the userChrome.css file into the chrome folder.

After that you can edit your userChrome.css with ChromeEdit Plus. Copy the lines into your userChrome.css, save and restart.
