Icon-only bookmarks don't persist on bookmarks toolbar after restart
Whenever I create icon-only bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar by going to properties and deleting the name, they disappear when I restart Firefox. By contrast, bookmarks that have a name/text work/don't get deleted.

You can consider to leave a space character (there are small Unicode variations).
If this is about all the bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar then you can hide the labels with code in userChrome.css. The code posted below hides the text label of bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar, but leaves folder names. Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#personal-bookmarks
.bookmark-item:not([container=true])
.toolbarbutton-text {
display:none!important;
}
It is not that difficult to create userChrome.css if you have never used it.
The first step is to open the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page and find the button to access the profile folder.
You can find this button under the "Application Basics" section as "Profile Folder -> Open Folder". If you click this button then you open the profile folder in the Windows File Explorer. You need to create a folder with the name chrome in this folder (name is all lowercase). In the chrome folder you need to create a text file with the name userChrome.css (name is case sensitive). In this userChrome.css text file you paste the text posted. On Mac you can use the TextEdit utility to create the userChrome.css file as a plain text file.
In Windows saving the file is usually the only time things get more complicated because Windows can silently add a .txt file extension and you end up with a file named userChrome.css.txt. To avoid this you need to make sure to select "All files" in the dialog to save the file in the text editor using "Save File as".
You need to close (Quit/Exit) and restart Firefox when you create or modify the userChrome.css file.

Thanks! Sounds like this is known behavior then? Anyway, the userChrome.css method works great. Thanks again!
