Bookmarks Toolbar no longer shows all items

Firefox

I have just installed 7.0.1 (I can't call it an upgrade). I can no longer see all entries in my Bookmarks Toolbar for 2 reasons:- 1. It includes unnecessary icons which just take up space. 2. There is a "Bookmarks" Tab which I do not want, but cannot delete. It just takes up space. I rarely, if ever, use Bookmarks because I have everything I use in folders in the Bookmarks Toolbar.

How do I remove these unwanted items?

Add code to userChrome.css in the chrome folder below the @namespace line.

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files. 

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

#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container]:not([livemark]):not([query]) .toolbarbutton-icon,
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item:not([container]) .toolbarbutton-icon{
display:none!important;
}

Hi Milliways2-

You should be able to easily delete any toolbar items you do not want. The right click context menu has a 'delete' item for each of the icons. If you Right click on the toolbar area in some blank space, a toolbar menu displays where you can click 'Customize'. This will allow you to add, or remove, any items on the toolbar.

I agree that You should be able to delete any toolbar items you do not want, but you can not delete "Bookmarks", neither can I get rid of the useless folder icons. There is no "Customise" option on FF8 when you click on a blank area.

This got rid of the icons - Unfortunately not only the Folder icons, but also the RSS icons. It would be nice to go back to the way it worked in 3.6
