Before Firefox 4, I was able to have icons only on my bookmark toolbar, it's no longer like that. How can I fix this?
I just upgraded to Firefox 4, and my bookmarks toolbar has reverted back to having the names of the sites along with the icons. Can this be changed back to icons only?

The biggest concern with this is that I fit a lot less bookmarks on the same bars. If I set it to "text" only, what it does is removing every icon. even the "previous, next, refresh and home"-icons are changed to text.
I want those to be icons, only my bookmarks to have no icons, as it was in FireFox 3
Yes, Mozilla, if you're reading this, which I hope you are, PLEASE implement this in the next update if possible. I love to keep my bookmarks as icons only, it's not only more effective since it's easily distinguishable, but it looks cleaner and you fit a lot more on one bar.
Please do this on the next update!!
There are two ways to do this (1) Install an extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/roomy-bookmarks-toolbar/ (2) Do it manually. Right click the bookmark you want to edit, click properties, and then delete the name. That's what I do. See the below screenshot for reference.

This is REALLY frustrating - not being able to eliminate the TEXT makes the bookmark bar almost useless. I have 40 icons on the bar and I use most of them all the time - now I can only see 13 with text in the way and NO way to ELIMINATE the TEXT. Pointing me to "de-iconizer" is the REVERSE of helpful - I need a "DE-TEXTizer" to get back the usefulness of the bar. Yes, I can still *get* to them - but it's in that obnoxious drop-down menu at the end of the bar - not nearly as useful as before. Why remove a customizable option on a release that's all about customization? AUGH!
Add on to De-Text here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/roomy-bookmarks-toolbar/ - thanks for posting that, Efreak!
