i just upgraded to the new version of firefox. for some inexplicable reason, you've added icons to the left of my personal menu choices in the menu bar. these icons are purely decorative, they take up too much room, and now i can't display as many clickable items in the menu bar. extremely irritating. if you are going to add junk, at least give us the option to not display it. is there a way that i can turn off the display of these useless icons?

thank you! that worked! appreciate how quickly and accurate the support was.

that said, it would be nice if the icons were the add-on, and the default was no icons.

i'm sure the majority of your users would prefer function rather than fluff.

thanks again, mj

You're welcome

On the contrary, many users want just the website image (favicon) and they delete the title of those bookmarks to save space for more bookmarks there.
