Comment:

 On Tor Browser 8.0.6, I discovered a "Customize" configuration that seems
 to have resolved the issue on my system (MacOS): [[br]]


 Go to main menu (hamburger menu) and select "Customize" to open Customize
 panel. [[br]]


 Near the bottom of the Customize panel, open the "Density" panel in which
 the custom option "Normal" is the default setting. Select the custom
 option: Compact. [[br]]

 After selecting the Compact option, screen size changed from `wide:1000 x
 high:0998` to screen size `wide:1000 x high:1000` with Bookmarks Toolbar
 enabled and with bookmarks-folders with text and individual bookmarks with
 text appearing in the enabled Bookmarks Toolbar. [[br]]
 ---- [[br]]
 Recommendation: the Tor Browser User Manual and/or the Tor FAQ General
 questions could include information stating the user can/might achieve
 screen size `wide:1000 x high:1000` with the Bookmarks Toolbar enabled and
 with bookmarks-folders with text and individual bookmarks with text
 appearing in the enabled Bookmarks Toolbar if the users selects
 "Customize/Density/Compact".
