Firefox 57 - Remove icons from the bookmarks toolbar?

Post by flimbo »

Just upgraded to FF57.
Use to rely on Roomy Bookmarks toolbar but this doesn't work with the new FF57.
Is there any way to remove the icons/favicons from my bookmarks toolbar so I'm just left with the text?
Thanks.

Hi,
As I haven't installed v57 yet, all I can say is...(These are in v56.)
Try the "Customize" UI & look at the bottom left for the option buttons.
You should be able to select "Text only."

I cant see anything in the customise UI options that says "text only". There doesn't seem to be any options to customise the bookmarks toolbar.

Sorry. Cannot assist any further.
Maybe wait for someone with V57 to come along?

Apparently, the OP only needs the Text & nothing else.

cor-el's code posted in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/quest ... wer-432466 works for me:

Code: Select all

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

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

cor-el's code doesn't work.
That thread is 4 years old, should that still work in FF57?

It works for me. That's why I posted it.

Does your code look like this?

Code: Select all

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

@-moz-document url(chrome://browser/content/browser.xul){
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item:not([container]) .toolbarbutton-icon { display: none !important; }
}

Sorry, just tried some more and got it working.
I had trouble creating a userChrome.css file from scratch. Now it's recognised as a .css file and not a .txt file.
Many thanks for the help! Brilliant.

How would I remove the Text from Bookmark Toolbar items, leaving only the Icons showing (with the tooltip still providing the text on mouseover)?

Thanks.

flimbo, how did you save the Notepad .txt file to the .css format? I can't seem to get it to work.

I pasted the code into wordpad and saved it as a plain text file named userChrome.css
Notepad didn't work for me.

Thanks, flimbo. I figured out another way to do it. After file was saved as a text file by Notepad, I opened Windows Explorer, made sure to uncheck Hide File Suffix for Known File Types in Windows Explorer settings. Then within Windows Explorer, I was able to change the file name by deleting the .txt suffix, leaving only userChrome.css. That worked.

Also, to display Icons only, in that code just change the word "icon" to "text". I'm trying to get back what Roomy Bookmarks Toolbar gave me - a toolbar with just icons and, hopefully, multiple rows. I'll post separately for that.
