You will need to create your own Favicon images or find them on the internet.

hi, edmeister.

thanks for the info ... it solved part of my problem. the favicons work great on the actual shortcuts. is it there an add-on that allows custom icons on my folders?

thanks, again ...

You probably need to do that via code in userChrome.css. "Folder_Name" needs to be the exact name of that folder (case sensitive) Place the icons in the chrome folder with the file userChrome.css

#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container][label="Folder_Name"] {
 list-style-image: url('folder-icon.png') !important;
 -moz-image-region: auto !important;
}

You can use this code for regular bookmarks instead of the Favicon picker extension.

#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[label="Bookmark_Name"] {
 list-style-image: url('bookmark-icon.png') !important;
 -moz-image-region: auto !important;
}

You can use this code to hide the text

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

Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
