Favicons on Bookmarks Toolbar on Mac

[Korou]

In the default Firefox theme (1.5 and 2.0 RC1) on a Macintosh, favicons do not show up on the Bookmarks Toolbar. Various other themes (e.g. Pinstripe for Firefox) also lack the favicons. However, other themes (e.g. Phoenity Modern) <em>do</em> have favicons show up on the Bookmarks Toolbar.

What's toggling whether or not the favicons are showing up?


Pinstripe: no favicons on toolbar


Phoenity Modern: favicons on toolbar

The lack of Favicons in Pinstripe is intentional.

You could turn them on if you put this in your userChrome.css

Code: Select all

.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon {
   display: block !important;
   padding-right: 3px !Important;
}

.bookmark-item:hover > .toolbarbutton-icon {
   background: url("chrome://browser/skin/bookmark-hover-right.png") no-repeat left center !important;
}

try this:

.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon {
margin: 0px !important;
width: 16px !important;
height: 16px !important;
display: inline !important;
}
.bookmark-item:hover > .toolbarbutton-icon {
background: url("chrome://browser/skin/bookmark-hover-mid.png") repeat-x !important;
}
.bookmark-item:hover:active > .toolbarbutton-icon {
background: url("chrome://browser/skin/bookmark-open-mid.png") repeat-x !important;
}

try this:

.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon {
margin: 0px !important;
width: 16px !important;
height: 16px !important;
display: inline !important;
}
.bookmark-item:hover > .toolbarbutton-icon {
background: url("chrome://browser/skin/bookmark-hover-mid.png") repeat-x !important;
}
.bookmark-item:hover:active > .toolbarbutton-icon {
background: url("chrome://browser/skin/bookmark-open-mid.png") repeat-x !important;
}

This worked, but for some reason my favicons were being smushed a little. When I tried commenting out the width and height, somehow the favicon for truthout.org was severely over-sized and looked awful. So I went back to width 16px and changed height to 18px and it looks fine.

Marcus, I think you need to resize your avatar to something a bit smaller. Forum rules have a 100 pixels x 100 pixels/13KB limit.
