How to display only text on bookmarks toolbar in firefox 58
Recently updated Firefox. Now running Firefox 58.0.2 (64). I want the bookmarks toolbar to display only text, no icons. Neither of the add-ons I used in Firefox 56 (Classic Theme Restorer, or Bookmarks Deiconizer) work on the Firefox Quantum versions. I had rolled back to Firefox 56 in order to regain this ability , but updated to Firefox 58.0.2 in order to get security updates.
I looked at other threads addressing this situation. I am not technically proficient enough to try those confusing methods with any confidence I will not screw up my working version of Firefox.
Can you please come up with a simple button in customize that that will display the bookmarks toolbar as text only, the way it used to be in earlier versions. I've been using Firefox since back when it was Netscape and until recently displaying toolbars as text only was simple and easy to accomplish, even for someone like me.
If for some reason you can't do that can you please post a simple fix that I can copy and paste into the appropriate place. And please include a step-by-step non-technical description of how to get to the appropriate place to paste in the solution.
Thank you.

You can hide the label on the Bookmarks Toolbar with code in userChrome.css.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item:not([container])>.toolbarbutton-icon {display:none!important;}
It is not that difficult to create userChrome.css if you have never used it.
The first step is to open the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page and find the button to access the profile folder.
You can find this button under the "Application Basics" section as "Profile Folder -> Open Folder". If you click this button then you open the profile folder in the Windows File Explorer. You need to create a folder with the name chrome in this folder (name is all lowercase). In the chrome folder you need to create a text file with the name userChrome.css (name is case sensitive). In this userChrome.css text file you paste the text posted.
In Windows saving the file is usually the only time things get more complicated because Windows can silently add a .txt file extension and you end up with a file named userChrome.css.txt. To avoid this you need to make sure to select "All files" in the dialog to save the file in the text editor using "Save File as".
