Favicons in Firefox (Mac) Bookmark Toolbar

Favicons in Bookmark Toolbar

Sarah asked me yesterday to help her with editing Firefox’s userChrome.css to show favicons in the Bookmarks Toolbar. Vlad had written up a post about it, but many commenters had tweaks and fixes.

So I’ve put all the code I used together onto GitHub here: http://gist.github.com/186269. Add that to your ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/profiles/*.default/chrome/userChrome.css (or create it if it’s not there). And you should be ‘good to go’!

For wondering, the bug is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348719

I was really looking for something like this as my bookmarks toolbar is getting really crowded.

What about packing it into an Add-On or a Jetpack?

My blog has some code (also linked from Vlad’s post) which does the opposite: on a non-Mac it lets you remove the favicon to leave just the bookmark label:
