On the bookmarks toolbar, I want to add custom icons, and turn off the text to show only the icons.

Try this extension for hiding the names of Bookmark Toolbar favicons. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4072/

This extension will help you apply a Favcion image to specific bookmarks. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7849/

You will need to create your own Favicon images or find them on the internet.

hi, edmeister.

thanks for the info ... it solved part of my problem. the favicons work great on the actual shortcuts. is it there an add-on that allows custom icons on my folders?

thanks, again ...

You probably need to do that via code in userChrome.css. "Folder_Name" needs to be the exact name of that folder (case sensitive) Place the icons in the chrome folder with the file userChrome.css

#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container][label="Folder_Name"] {
 list-style-image: url('folder-icon.png') !important;
 -moz-image-region: auto !important;
}


You can use this code for regular bookmarks instead of the Favicon picker extension.

#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[label="Bookmark_Name"] {
 list-style-image: url('bookmark-icon.png') !important;
 -moz-image-region: auto !important;
}


You can use this code to hide the text

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


Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

This extension does exactly what you want. Removes text associated with your bookmarks and folders and gives you placement controls over bookmarks extending the functionality and usability of the Bookmarks Toolbar. ROLLOVER ICON=read text. Works perfect, updated for Firefox 4. FFox 3 worked great.
