i like to make use of favicons for my personal toolbar without any text, it's
very useful, a la the w2k/xp quicklaunch.

a general pref to set this pref when adding items to the personal toolbar via
dragging

You're able to create entries in the personal toolbar with no 'name', thus
making them just favicons. The 3 or so extra pixels on the right of the icon can
be eliminated through a change in userChrome.css. WONTFIXing this, as the
feature would not be used by most users.

i wasn't talking about the 3px and userChrome.css, i was talking about the title
text on the personal toolbar. Toolbars in GUIs are mostly only icons.

if you hide the title text, go can go from maybe a couple of five bookmarks to
ten or twenty items. 

it can save heaps of valuable screen space, see my attached screen shot
