With upgrade to 4.0, my bookmarks toolbar expanded; I want the condensed look back.

In previous Firefox version, my Bookmarks Toolbar was just the small icon, like the W for Wikipedia, or the ebay's logo. With the upgrade, the icon has expanded to include text. This is not the same problem as the icons/texts of the search bar with the home button. How can I get it to display only the picture reference in the bookmarks toolbar?

Thanks! I uninstalled 4.0 and reinstalled 3.6.17 because neither is yet compatible with 4.0. I'm happily firing on all pistons again - I guess I just don't like change that much!

You can also do this with code in userChrome.css


Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

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