I don't even like how Firefox has no labels on its buttons (e.g. "Home", "Back", etc.) while the rest of Gnome (a.k.a. Nauitlus) has labels (preferences set at System > Preferences > Appearance > Interface > "Text Below Items"... even if Firefox ignores this).

The reason Firefox ignores these preferences (e.g. takes away the text/labels) is for more screen space on the user's screen.

I'm in favour of getting rid of Firefox bookmark toolbar and bringing back the text below the icons, bringing both Firefox and Gnome/Nautilus in harmony.

The minimal Nautilus David is suggesting reminds me of the old style of Nautilus Ubuntu used to ship with (see my Wikipedia screenshot at: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d0/Ubuntu-desktop-2-410-20080706.png)
