Guys
Following are 2 good tweaks for Firefox Bookmarks toolbar which I always use. Both are must have tweaks and make Firefox much better:
1. Make Firefox Bookmarks toolbar to show in Multiple rows:
Open “userChrome.css” file and copy paste following lines at the end of file:
/* Make bookmarks toolbar to show in multiple rows */
#bookmarks-ptf {display:block}
#bookmarks-ptf toolbarseparator {display:inline}
Save the file and start Firefox to see the effect.
2. Make Firefox Bookmarks toolbar Auto-hidden:
Open “userChrome.css” file and copy paste following lines at the end of file:
/* Auto-hide bookmarks toolbar */
#PersonalToolbar {display: none;}
#navigator-toolbox:hover > #PersonalToolbar {display: -moz-box;}
Save the file and start Firefox to see the effect.
NOTE: To know about the location and more information about “userChrome.css” file go through following link:

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?

Is there any way to autohide other bars like the google toolbar.

@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 said:
no, there is just the one folder .default folder, and the one userchrome.css within it.

Multi-row bookmark thread for Firefox 3, skip to the end of thread though because we are up to beta 4.
