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.
