To organize my bookmarks, I gathered them in several directories. But string names prevent these directories to all show even in a full-screen window. Is there a way to use fontawesome.com icons?

Downloadable icon fonts like Font Awesome use code points in the PUA range (E000-F8FF), so I don't think that it is possible to use them in the name of a bookmark. If they are meant for folders then you can possibly convert them to an image and then use this image instead of the folder icon. On the Bookmarks Toolbar you can use code in userChrome.css to modify the folder icon (the sidebar uses treechildren and you can't use a selector for individual bookmarks).

Another possibility is to use code in userChrome.css for a multi-row Bookmarks Toolbar.
