How can I change the text in toolbars ("Forward" to "Fwd", etc)
I want to shorten the text for items in my toolbar because the address box is way too short. I know how to change the items for items on the second row toolbar (right-click>properties), but I want to change the text for items in the top row. Right click does not show a property option for the items in the top row. For example, I want to change "Back" to "Bk", "Forward" to "Fwd". Two of the items are way too long ("Google Shortcuts v" and "Downloads"). I want to change these to "Gogl extr" and "DnLds". I want both text and the icons.
By any chance, if the above can not be done, can I create custom icons? I'd take the current icon (where are they stored?) and add my own text into the icon, then tell firefox to show the icon.
I'm using Firefox 22.0

Have you considered using Icons (only) instead of Text and Icons in the Customize Toolbars dialog box?
I have, except two of my toolbar items show the same icon (a solid down arrow) and 1 shows only a square box for an icon. I can hover to see what it is though. I'm also from the "old school" and prefer text or an abbreviation rather than a "picture".
You can consider to use a custom theme and modify the tooltip labels in the file of that extension.
