Maybe a sceenshot will help.

• How do I create a screenshot of my problem?

I am not entirely certain whether you are seeing the expected behaviour or some fault.

Presumably you realise

• Bookmarks toolbar
  • Overflow and give an arrowhead type icon allowing the overflow to be seen as dropdown on the right hand side
  • Folders may be nested, top-level folders will produce drop-down lists of bookmarks &/or sub folders
• Bookmarks library and bookmarks sidebar are alternative methods of displaying bookmarks.
• See also Use bookmark folders to organize your bookmarks

Thanks. No screen shot. I have many folders on the toolbar: I have no envy to go into the library that already has 137 bookmarks to search for a reference. I found out that Classical theme restorer did it, why should anyone want little yellow boxes in front of each folder? Sorry, if I'm a bit frustrated...

I can't really think why your bookmarks toolbar should change when you updated to Firefox36. My bookmarks toolbar stayed the same.

Sorry you are still having problems, but you need to remember we are only fellow users of Firefox, and cannot see your own setup. We have no idea how you have chosen to arrange your book marks and bookmarks folders.

I am not seeing little yellow boxes, unless you mean the folder icon. A screenshot would have helped. So would the system info requested when you post questions.

If you only have 137 bookmarks those will be easy to fit on the bookmarks toolbar. Use say 7 or 8 folders of about 20 bookmarks, no need to even nest sub folders.

If the problem is only when the classic theme restorer is in use try their support site for help.

You can hide the folder icons of bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar with code in userChrome.css

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

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

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration

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)
• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

• Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
• Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
• Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
• Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
• Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
  Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

I like to use bookmarks tool bar for a lot of bookmarks. Since updating to FF36 I have a host of yellow squares (folder icons that don't mean anything) in front of the name of the folder I have made. Clicking 'customise' doesn't help. My bookmarks tool bat has run out of space... so how do I get rid of this unnecessary stuff? Thanks

Hardly the kind of answer the average user can do anything with, is it?

Hi cooked, if using a custom style rule is more than you want to tackle, you could consider another extension. Here's one that has a zillion options, or you can search further on the Add-ons site.
