Default Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar Tweak

My Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox is filled with lots of bookmarks, many of them stored in folders to stuff even more bookmarks into the space of a single toolbar. While the Bookmarks Toolbar is useful for accessing websites fast it has one limitation that made me do some research to see if there would be a way to fix it.
I’m talking about the fact that the Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox is always displayed. It is possible to uncheck the toolbar which means that it is not shown which is not what I wanted to do of course. I was looking for a way to increase the space on the screen that the visited website would occupy while still keeping the Bookmarks Toolbar ready to be accessed.
I found a way to hide the Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox and activate it only if the mouse is hovered over the area where it would normally appear. This way it is possible to have more space available for displaying the website while still being able to access the Bookmarks Toolbar if needed.
If you want to apply this Firefox tweak you do need to access the file userChrome.css which is located in the ‘chrome’ directory of the Firefox profile folder. Add the following two lines at the end of this file and restart Firefox afterwards:
#PersonalToolbar {display: none;} #navigator-toolbox:hover > #PersonalToolbar {display: -moz-box;}

Default Re: Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar Tweak

My solution was to combine toolbars. I only have my MAIN bookmarks in my toolbar, so I moved my stuff around to put it all on the top two bars.

This is pretty cool, though. I would probable use it if I hadn't already set mine up.
