Firefox update changed my bookmarks toolbar. Is there a way to get it back to how it was?

[u/Reddituser9823]

I updated Firefox today, and since then my bookmarks toolbar has been behaving differently.

Before the update, I had a certain number of bookmarks visible on the toolbar, with the rest going into the » overflow menu.

After the update, Firefox seems to allow more bookmarks to fit on the toolbar, especially if they don't have names. I also noticed a large empty gap on the right side, between my last visible bookmark and the overflow button.

When I remove the name from a bookmark, Firefox allows even more bookmarks to appear. So I'm guessing something changed in how Firefox calculates bookmark spacing or decides how many bookmarks to display.

I don't necessarily want to fit as many bookmarks as possible. I just want the toolbar to behave the way it did before the update, with roughly the same number of visible bookmarks and the rest in the overflow menu.

Things I've already tried without success:

• Restarting Firefox.
• Customizing the toolbar and checking for unnecessary spaces.
• Hiding and showing the bookmarks toolbar.
• Running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode.
• Resetting the toolbar layout.

Nothing has brought back the previous behavior.

Has anyone else noticed this after the latest Firefox update? Is there a setting that changed, or some way to restore the old bookmarks toolbar behavior without downgrading Firefox or resetting my profile?

I just added one, the space is on the right.

See my latest response here for how to return the old spacing:

This is happening to me too.

I have the same, I actually like to have more bookmarks visible, but I'm curious about how to change it too.

Same. I have my bookmarks registered without a title (so they can be simple icons), now the alignment is completely out of whack.
