Community Q&A
- QuestionHow do I get a toolbar with icons on it to show?Thomas Martin KaxeCommunity AnswerRight click a Bookmark, click Edit, delete the name of the Bookmark, and you should now only have an icon. If you do this with all your bookmarks on the bookmark bar, you should first have much more room on the bar, and second a bar only with icons. You should of course only do this with Bookmarks that you know what icon belongs to it. Otherwise it will get confusing.
- QuestionHow can I make a bookmark bar appear on the side in a drop down box?Community AnswerThis will happen automatically when you have too many bookmarks to place on your bookmarks bar.
- QuestionIs there is a way to make the bookmarks display as just icons (no tag)?Community AnswerJust right-click on bookmark, then click on Edit and delete the name. Repeat this for all bookmarks.
Tips
- The New Tab page will always show your Bookmarks Bar, even if it's set to hidden.Thanks
