So I finally discovered Google Bookmarks and realized this would make my world a whole lot better than FF Bookmarks in multiple places and sync issues.  So I installed Gmarks addon to FF (3.6 then update to12.0).   There seems to be something awry with setting up the icons in my main toolbar.  In the FF Customize window, I see a Gmark icon (blue unfilled star), but no text below it to identify what it means.  Then there is another alleged "icon" with no actual icon - just the text below to identify what it means.

This is visible in the attached file gmarkCustomizeIssue.jPG

I already have a blue unfilled star on my toolbar for Gmarks (it opens the sidebar).  So I don't know what this other one is for.   I dragged the "Add Gmark" text (a/k/a icon) to my toolbar.  That produces yet two more issues. 

1.  the icon is just a plain box - probalby some undefined/default icon.
2.  THe amount of text (yes, I use Icon+Text for my toolbar buttons) is excessive and is taking too much width.   There is "Quick Add Gmark" and "Add Gmark".  Very wide for a toolbar button. 

These two issues are visible in the attached file gmakCustomizeIssue2.JPG (sic).

I can't take up that much width with that text.  I can't recognize the icon's meanings if they are a default box.  If I can't add gmarks easily with toolbar buttons, it probably will defeat the joy of using Google Bookmarks/Gmarks.

Are there any workarounds I can apply here?  (I need the Text option for icons toolbars to see them well. )

It would be nice if I could abbreviate the text beneath the buttons to my own liking, but that doesn't seem likely.

It seems with Default firefox theme icons for buttons and "Bookmarks"-drop-down-list are visible but not for different Themes.

To GMarks' developer and others: How to retain standard icons of GMarks' buttons from Default theme when custom themes are loaded? How to change GMarks extension to make it possible?

I just installed FF20, but I am having the same problem with toolbar icons that others have mentioned. But it has been several months and this has not been addressed. Hello? Please help? Otherwise love the extension.
