removing icons from firefox toolbar
Jeffery Small
How do you modify firefox to not display the small icons next to entries
you place on your toolbar?
Thanks.

Most likely, if in about:config, if you change browser.chrome.favicons
to "false" that will be the end of favicons (those small icons)
anywhere in the browser.
I have not tried it since i rather like the small icons. :-)

OR.......
If you mean the cutesy icons for the basic functions like Home (the
little house), Reload, etc. Use "customize" (right click on any
blank area of the toolbar to get the menu) for the toolbar and choose
Text for "Show".

I'm not sure which icons you're referring to. If you mean the icons of
the bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar, then add the following lines to
the file named 'userChrome.css'. This file should be located in the
subfolder 'chrome' of your profile folder (if not, you'll have to create
it; see <http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit>).
/* Hide icons of bookmarks on personal toolbar */
.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon {
display: none !important;
}

Thanks for the information. It was very close. With your pointer I discovered
that the actual configuration change was
browser.chrome.site_icon
which needed to be set to false. I wanted to get rid of the icons so that
the toolbar items would move closer together. However, setting this value
to false just substitutes either a blank space or the little default "flag"
icon. So now the follow up question is how can I get the toolbar items to
be more compact? Is there a way to eliminate the icon space altogether or
control the size of the icons and text?
Thanks.

Many thanks. That's just what I was looking for!

I have 14 bookmarks on one toolbar on an 800 x600 screen. I did that
by severely shortening the names. About half have favicons and 1/2
the default (which is not a flag here, but a page with top right
corner turned down). Favicons and the default icons take the same
amount of room.
You can get more room by moving the navigation box up to the the top
toolbar. I was able to just drag it by the corner to the top toolbar.
IIRC, the "GO" button had to be moved separately. Then i stretched
out the searchentry box using userchrome.css (code below) to about 2
1/2 inches. Then i added the toolbar for the toolbar bookmarks.
~~~cut~~~~~~~~~
/* Make the Search box wider */
.searchbar-textbox {
width: 28em !important;
}
~~~cut~~~~~~~~~
I guess the favicon lets me know what the toolbar bookmark is since
the descriptions are pretty near cryptic at 3 or 4 small letters.

Thanks to everyone for the help. It has been very instructive.

If you just want to get more items into the toolbar, you can define
folders within the toobar directory, and move similar items to those
directories. The directories will 'cascade'. I find this very useful,
and have very little need to actually access the 'bookmarks' menu.

Excellent idea Ron.
