SOLUTION :
Just right click on Favorite icon (on the search bar) and click remove icon. You can do the same for the Pocket icon.

Yea it was tricky. I also search on personalization and coudn't found how to remove it, but lucky i had the idea to right click on the icon to see what it would do...

balistik - that's NOT what we were trying to solve. We were trying to remove icons from our "bookmarks toolbar". Your solution does not apply, and refers to the ordinary "toolbar" and yes we know how to customise that.

It gave me 2 rows of bookmarks. I've had to compress 42 folders with 1500 bookmarks, into 31 folders by making some into subfolders. I'm not a happy camper because I had it that way for 15 years, and now I can't find things. I'm on 52ESR, and Roomy Bookmarks is supposed to work.

Can you show a screenshot of what you have now?

Thanks.
Create a userChrome.css file in a chrome folder in the Firefox profile http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?tit ... ntable=yes

Add the following css code in your userChrome.css file and restart Firefox

Code: Select all

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

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

The code presented above works to remove text from the Bookmarks Toolbar items.

But this is not enough for me. There is too much space between the icons. Where the Roomy extension allowed me to fit about 60 icons on the bar, I can now fit only about 40.

Is there a way to reduce the space between icons? Or to change the size/width of the icons to accomplish the same thing?

Try the following code:

Code: Select all

toolbarbutton.bookmark-item {
padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px !important; }

that does not works for me ;
Was i right to put a # at the line's beginning ?
I mean this :
#toolbarbutton.bookmark-item {
padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px !important; }

Thanks !

I went to 0px and fit all but five of my icons on the toolbar. Excellent.

Just for kicks, is there a way to reduce the size of the icons to get a few more on the bar?

You can also try with:

Code: Select all

toolbarbutton.bookmark-item{
margin: 0 -4px!important;
}
Use number for margin as you wish. It works just fine for me!

That worked with some modification for my purpose:

Code: Select all

toolbarbutton.bookmark-item{
margin: 0 1px!important;
}
I am now exactly where I was when using the Roomy Bookmarks extension. Thanks to all for the tips!

Hi all! Thank you for all the help. I have a question, I removed the icons but I still have the folder icon showing for bookmarks that are folders. How would I go about removing those? Thank you!

This userChrome.css file (just these 2 lines saved in a file called userChrome.css in the C:\Users\[myname]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random string].default\chrome\ directory)worked for me in FF 57, it removes bookmark favicons so you only have text bookmarks. Way more space and a lot less visual clutter.

userChrome.css contents:


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gateke ... s.only.xul");

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