text labels on firefox quantum toolbar

Post by neilcaine »

As Mozilla have kindly removed many of the options we had before quantum and stopped old addons working, i wanted to ask if there is any way or new add on which enables the old option of having text and icons on the toolbar for the home, bookmark, addons,options, reload page etc

I think I know what you mean... but, if the normal icons up there also had text next to them I would think that the toolbar would be very crowded. I don't remember, was their text 'under' the icons before or??

I have just the normal icons up there and have no issues with them... they also provide text with a mouse-over.... or am I missing something here.

Try this:

Code: Select all

/* Firefox userChrome.css */

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

/* show labels for buttons on navigation toolbar */

#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-text {
  display: -moz-box !important;
}

/* show label for "Options" button */

#preferences-button .toolbarbutton-text {
  display: -moz-box !important;
}
http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css

The toolbar mode attribute still works in Fx 64 when I edit the value to "full" in the browser toolbox.

Icons and Text: mode="full"
Icons: mode="icons"
Text: mode="text"

Toolbar mode

Thanks for that morat, the code has worked perfectly, much appreciated

dfoulkes - I know it's not a major issue, I just preferred having the text option so I'm not clicking the wrong button when moving along the toolbar - I was used to it being there before Firefox was updated and prevented a lot of personalisation

Yeah I know what you mean... I loved the add-on Toolbar buttons... made it real easy to identify a function.
