How do I turn off favicons in the toolbar?
I have convenient links in the toolbar. Having favicons is a waste of space. How can I remove them or turn them off? Plus, can I move the tabs below the toolbar rather than have them at the top of the window?

Do you mean the favicons of the bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar?
You can achieve both of those with code in the userChrome.css file.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
/* hide the favicons on the Bookmarks Toolbar items */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon { display:none !important; }
/* move the Tab bar to the lower position */
#TabsToolbar { -moz-box-ordinal-group:10000 !important; }
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
- Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
You can check the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.

Thanks for your help cor-el. I know a bit about code, but this is more than I want to tackle just to get rid of the favicons. I'll live with it and try it when I have nothing else to do.
