Enable viewing of hidden files in your file manager (in my case, using Ctrl H in Thunar). In your home folder you should find .mozilla. Change into the firefox folder. Look for a folder with a name similar to vb4brtgj.default with the current date. Change into that folder. If there is then a chrome folder, change into that. If not, make a folder called chrome (case is important, as always on linux).
If the folder already exists look for a file userChrome.css (note the middle capital C); if that doesn't exist, make such a file with in the chrome folder with a plain text editor. Then add the line
Code: Select all
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item > label { display: none !important; }
Restart Firefox and the bookmarks toolbar should show only the icons of the bookmarks.
Note: some users have reported that the file name should be UserChrome.css. That didn't work for me; I had to use userChrome.css
Also, some sources suggest that the first line of the file should be (before the other line)
Code: Select all
@namespace xul url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
On my system the full path and name of the file is as follows:
Code: Select all
/home/rory/.mozilla/firefox/vb4brtgj.default/chrome/userChrome.css
Edit: This will not restore the full functionality of Roomy Bookmarks, but will at least give a toolbar with a full screen-width of bookmarks, which will popup their name when hovered over. |
