I am totally hook on digg.com! I know this is not exactly connected to the bookmark trick, but it is in your screen shot. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for such a cool site!

I know HTML. Does that mean I code my web site by hand? No – I wrote my own CMS instead, to make my life easier in the long run.

I know CSS. Does that mean I want to customise Firefox in this way when there is a simpler way that doesn’t get lost when I export my bookmarks to a file? Hardly…

Sebhelyesfarku – don’t belittle those of us who choose to take the easy route with this. How people organise their bookmarks is up to them.

Something I really wish Firefox would do is allow a user-specified icon to replace the site-icon-text form now. I loved that about Galeon. You can see the way I had it set up here: http://galeon.sourceforge.net/graphics/shots/fonts.png One bar was all icons, and the second bar was actually my entire bookmarks folder because my wife liked it that way. But the icons being user-setable made them far more intuitive for me.

The userChrome hack isn’t cool at all due to some sites’ lack of an own icon.

Sebhelyesfarku, userChrome is cool and all, but keep in mind that some people do not know css… or what userChrome is… or that it even exists for that matter.

However, most people know how to right click and select “properties”.

This “trick” is seemingly for six-year olds, not neat. userchrome.css is for this.

“i want to hide the bookmarks toolbar folder icons and keep the rest of the icons”

This one hides only the folder icons:

toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[container] > .toolbarbutton-icon {
display: none !important;
}

This one hides only the individual bookmarks text:

toolbarbutton.bookmark-item:not([container]) > .toolbarbutton-text {
display: none !important;
}

I figured that one out on my own. I just descovered the use of tabs, and use Tabx, and del.cio.us extensions. Firefox is great. Also just discovered Netvibe
