It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

joelandsonja: This looks helpful, but I'm not sure what I should be doing with this information. Do you have a file you can attach with the information already typed in? I hope I'm not being demanding, but I'm not entirely sure what to do with this information.

Maighstir: The file is the same you already used (you said what you did only removes the icons in the bookmark toolbar, so I just assumed you'd see that my code is similar and belongs in there as well). Just copy the code and paste my code in there. At least the second of those three bits. The last you already tried (and, as the comment says, is used for the bookmark toolbar).

EDIT: If you don't use userChrome.css for anything else, just remove the entire contents of that file, then copy the second and third of the three rules in my post and paste into that file, finally close the browser and start it up again.
It doesn't work, but I'm not sure if everything has been pasted properly in the document (I will include a screenshot).

That is weird. Did you completely shut down and start up Firefox after the change?

The fact that there are two rules for "toolbarbutton-icon" shouldn't matter, they both say the same thing, and the former is the one that's used since it's more specific.

The one you pasted from an earlier instruction basically says:
Find the specific element with the ID "PlacesToolbarItems"
Find all children of said element with the class "bookmark-item"
Find all children of those with the class "toolbarbutton-icon", and make them hidden, regardless of other rules.

Mine instead says:
Find all elements with the class bookmark-item
Find all descendants of those, and make them hidden regardless of other rules.

You could try removing or commenting out the @namespace line, it's not necessary, and may even hurt (that is, it may make your rules not apply).
To comment it out (meaning, Firefox will ignore it), follow the same pattern as the "human-readable" text already in the file - put /* at the beginning (right before the @), and */ at the end (right after the ; in the first line).

I tried your suggestions, but they didn't seem to work. I'll never understand why all web browsers simply don't include a button that says 'Turn on/off Favicons' ... I'm sure I'm not the only one who prefers not see them. There actually used to be a ton of extensions that turned them off, but the new browser doesn't support them.

If you got yours to work, do you have a copy of the file on your end? I'm not exactly skilled at understanding Firefox code, but I'm willing to try anything if you have any more suggestions. I appreciate the help!

Great suggestion, but unfortunately it didn't work. This browser is possessed!

don't know what to tell you. I have no more favicons in my brower's dropdown menus now.

is your userChrome.css file in the right location? it has to be under a "chrome" folder under your profile folder. since quantum, firefox doesn't automatically create a "chrome" folder. is it called userChrome.css, not userChrome.css.txt? do you have visible extensions set in windows?

Yup, it's in the right folder, and the file has the correct extension (see attached image). Any thoughts?

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the bookmarks are located in the sidebar? (Image included)

I noticed that the bookmark icons are gone in other menus, but not the sidebar menu ... which is the menu I use.
