I have a few "Folders" on the bookmark bar and I want to know how or if I even can change the plain Folder looking icon to something more relevant to the folder itself?

If you are familiar with doing CSS coding, see this - http://userstyles.org/styles/1682/bookmark-folder-icons

You will need to write a piece of code for each folder and provide a unique image for each folder to want to change. The most complicated part is creating or converting an image for each folder in Base64 code.

You do not need to convert the image to base64 if you use userChrome.css and place the images in the chrome folder with the userChrome.css file.

The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.
