But I have the same problem as Soulslayer had. I tried Juanito's method, but it had no effect. I suppose I must've done something wrong. Could anybody give me more details how I should edit css file properly. It’s an excellent tip!

Yes, you’re right but unfortunately is the only way to do this, for now…

I don’t think there is an easy fix for that issue. I’ll see if I can figure something out though.

You can fix this editing the UserChrome.css file inside the chrome directory in your profile folder.
For example, for the bookmark toolbar type the next CSS code:
#navigator-toolbox:hover > #PersonalToolbar
{
visibility: visible !important;
}
#PersonalToolbar
{
visibility: collapse !important;
