Is there a way to add custom icons to Bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar?

I switched to firefox because Chrome is clunky, Edge is Edge and Opera doesn't support Truekey. So far I've liked everything, but I've had one real bad problem. I always use icon only bookmarks, because I don't like the text there. I've had the problem of the site not getting thumbnails for many sites, and it doesn't seem like there is any way to upload them. I'd really like it if there was a way to do this. Thanks.

Chosen solution

You might be able to use an extension like a favicon customiser to achieve what you require.

I only see one there: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/favicon-customizer/ (I've not tried it)

Hello Harry,

Would you take a look at this thread and see if maybe the solution there will work for you as well  ?

Thank you. Unfortunately it doesn't, because I already have the abbrieviated icons and know about folders. Thank you very much anyway, however.

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't get it working - which I assume is me being stupid - but now the icons have appeared anyway. This extention is exactly what I was looking for anyway so it's my solution. Thanks you.
