I used to be able to reduce all my bookmarks on my bookmark toolbar to small icons; however, even though I chose this option in the customize toolbar menu, it still shows text. What can I do to change this?

I want to be able to see my bookmarks by their small icon on the toolbar, but I can't figure out how to do this with 4.0. I tried the customize toolbar screen and it didn't work. I have tried safe mode and that did not help either. Is there a way to do this?

Simplest method, right click the tab, to display properties, reduce or remove the 'Name'

The bookmarks toolbar will display the top level contents of the Bookmarks Library folder "Bookmarks Toolbar", or at least as much of it as will fit.

Some of those items may be individual bookmarks, some may be folders. I dare-say there will be preference to change the default setting for the width, &/or whether the name displays, but what is displayed by default is the icon followed by the 'Name' of that item.

My method should at least be a useable workaround.

Thanks. This should help, even though I think FF 4.0 should have the same abilities as earlier versions so there must be a way to do this.

You can hide the label text of bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar with this code in userChrome.css
See:

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 .toolbarbutton-text {display:none !important;}
