Same here. And like you, I only have the icons of my bookmarks in the bookmark bar. So this basically renders my bookmark bar useless.

Please fix this. It's a critical feature for me privately and at work.

@chkk525 and @ControlTheBit Sounds like this is sync related but also should be addressed in 1.12.112 fixed via #2941

Can you let us know if you're still running into this issue?
