How to make the bookmarks bar JUST text and without the "Bookmarks" drop down and make the other bar have text with pictures? How to download a previous version of firefox?
The option is to set text, text and pictures, or pictures but it affects both bars and how to get the old version back because I just wanted a stupid addon that I didn't even need and now is firefox just stuck this way. I know it's better to have the new version for security or whatever but the new features are bad for me personally I can't use this program how can I get the old version again please help. Or at least help me fix my bookmarks bar it was carefully made so I can do my work but now it has been destroyed and it can't get rid of the icons without getting rid of Home Refresh Stop icons and also the Bookmarks dropdown menu button can't be removed from the bookmarks bar?

So if the bookmarks toolbar is fixed up you don't need to go back to Firefox 4. That's easy.
This styling will change the bookmark folders to blue (most common) and the few bookmarks to red. Most would have short names 1-4 characters. Install the "Stylish" extension and then the style(s) suggested below.
- Stylish :: Add-ons for Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ - Bookmarks Toolbar Fx4 Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks - Themes and Skins for Browser
http://userstyles.org/styles/46947
Additional styling suggestions
- Scrollbar Menu - Themes and Skins for Browser - userstyles.org
http://userstyles.org/styles/52 - Scrollbar Context Menu - Themes and Skins for Browser
http://userstyles.org/styles/54
The drop-down at the end wouldn't be there as long as everything fits on the row.
- Once you start using styles you will really like them because you can control/modify/use them independently as building blocks as opposed to someone elses full theme design or extension.
I fail to see how the above is sketchy
- Install the "Stylish" extension
- Install the suggested Style
The advantage of a style is that they are very small compared to extensions, and if you don't like they way it looks, you can modify it. Try to do that with an extension.
The suggested style shows folders in blue, and bookmarklets or bookmarks in red used as buttons.
The deiconizer extension looks rather hard to read, seems rather large for what it does, and it has space wasting drop downs which are meaningless, simply left click to show the folder.
it can't get rid of the (bookmark/folder) icons without getting rid of Home Refresh Stop icons and also the Bookmarks dropdown menu button can't be removed from the bookmarks bar?
The Home button would show as text ("Home") with the style change, as for Refresh ("F5") and Stop("Esc") the keyboard shortcuts work better for me anyway and have never included them on my toolbars. I keep the Home button to the left of the Location bar anyway so it shows an icon.
For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

dmcritchie: That's a pretty sketchy and roundabout way to get there. If we're going the Add-on route, I'd do something like this first: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer/
FYI maycelestia, I have the same complaint ( https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/839998 ) and this is working for me so far.

Before downloading 5.0 I had two nice Bookmark Toolbars. Now with 5.0 I have ONE bar with the stupid dropdown at the end.
1 - Can I add a second Bookmark Toolbar and if so, how do I do it?
2 - If I can't do it, how do I go BACK to the former version of Firefox.
TIA
I HATE this new version. Its a joke. For starters when I type in a search IT DOESN'T WORK OR RESPOND and all my access buttons are gone. At least the old version worked great with no problems. What chump I was to agree to go to the newer version. Advice: DON"T DOWNLOAD THE NEW VERSION UNTIL THEY FIX THIS MESS. Some tech geek who designed this piece of crap needs a good dope slap. And yeah, I'm p.o.d about it in case you didn't notice...
