Bookmarks toolbar has icon and text for "Bookmarks" at far right. How can I move that onto the Navigation Toolbar as an icon only?

At the far right the new Bookmarks toolbar has an icon and text for "Bookmarks". When I hide my Bookmarks toolbar, that icon jumps to my Navigation Bar as an icon only (which I prefer). How can I move that icon PERMANENTLY onto the Navigation Toolbar as an icon only, so that it does NOT appear on the Bookmarks toolbar? Thanks.

Firefox displays the Bookmarks Menu button on the Bookmarks Toolbar if that bar is visible and that button can only be at one toolbar at the time.
The Bookmarks Menu button is usually only visible if the Menu Bar is hidden.


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

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

/* hide the Bookmarks text on the Bookmarks Menu button */
#bookmarks-menu-button .toolbarbutton-text { display:none !important }

/* display the Bookmarks Menu button */
#bookmarks-menu-button-container { display: -moz-box !important }

Dear cor-el: Impressive but complicated. I've never before created a userChrome.css file. For the moment, I'll pass. BUT ... later, if I want ONLY to delete the text "Bookmarks" after the icon (and leave the icon on my new Bookmarks toolbar), how much of your code above should I use?

Thanks.

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to make it easier.
