Followed instructions for number 1 above (Make Firefox Bookmarks toolbar to show in Multiple rows). Doesn't seem to be working. Found the userChrome.css file without a problem (win XP here). Copy and pasted the lines shown, and saved. Closed all firefox, checking with taskmanager to be sure firefox was off. Then, restarted firefox, and still see only the one row of links.
Any suggestions?

@Kevin - There are 2 "%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.defaul t\" folders
both contain chrome subfolder and both shud contain that userChrome.css file , u have to delete that sample file and replace it with userChrome.css [with above mentioned code] in both location , this shud solve ur problem.
Kevin
no, there is just the one folder .default folder, and the one userchrome.css within it.
