How could I rename an item from the main menu bar ("File", "Edit"...)? With userChrome.css I've changed the "content", but the "label" got written next.

I'm trying to change the name of the main menu item "Bookmarks". As for the submenu items, I was successful with modifying their "content" via userChrome.css. But setting some different name in a "content" of the bookmarksMenu this way only results in displaying the new name of the menu with its label "Bookmarks" next. How can I change the label or supress its displaying?

You can't change the name of a menu item via code in userChrome.css because you can only use that file to make CSS changes and not to change attributes.
If you use a content property {content: "new label"} then you only add some text before or after the existing text if you want the button to stay working.
You would need to create a simple extension to make such a change or possibly use the userchromeJS extension.
