Multiple row toolbar in Firefox « Codelicious.After seeing this, I decided I’d write some simpler instructions for doing this in FireFox for OSX.  This is kindof a rehash of the content, but I think it was more geared towards a more computer-savvy user (it didn’t include the path to the default chrome template, it doesn’t indicate what to open it in, etc).

1. Go to /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/profiles/<???>.default/chrome/

(or, in OS X 10.5 Leopard, click on your “home” on the left sidebar in Finder and then Library, Application Support, Firefox, Profiles, something.default, chrome… see the screenshots below)

2. Copy userChrome-example.css and rename to userChrome.css

3.Open userChrome.css in a text editor (textedit.app works well and comes with Tiger and Leopard)

4. Get the last code snippet in the link and paste it at the bottom (note: the copy to clipboard in that does not work, or at least not for OSX.  Copy and paste manually, and get rid of the line numbers!)

The code I used:

#bookmarksBarContent
{display:block !important;}
.places-toolbar-items
{display:block !important;
height: 35px !important;
overflow-y:auto !important;}
#bookmarksBarContent toolbarseparator{display:inline !important;}
#bookmarksBarContent
.bookmark-item{visibility: visible !important;}

.chevron {height: 0px !important;}

5. If Firefox is open, Quit (Command-Q or Firefox – Quit Firefox) and restart.
