I can't replicate it for the feedback simile, but sometimes all my favorites that are set to 'show icon only' will go back to show their text too. A fix would be appreciated because I go to click on a favorite and it isn't in the place that I think it is and I go to the wrong site.

Yes. I have 5 or so devices with all 3 versions of edge(chromium) installed. I would have thought that the changes that I currently make would overridden those though.

@HotCakeX Ok, thank you. Just as a note, none of my changes are going to other versions of browsers and i think that it fails and resets my changes to what they were before.

FWIW, mine are holding as set. I do notice something I don't recall seeing previously (maybe, because, I don't have the Favs Bar showing much or often). An "Other favs" seems to have been added. I like that, helpful & handy, when is not used. Personally, now that we have it, I tend to use it lots instead, of opening & closing the Favs bar each & every time something is wanted from it.
Cheers,

@Drew1903Thanks for the tip, I think that will be useful. Another problem just came up that may or may not be related to this: Canary is crashing after I give it about 5 or so clicks.

You're welcome.
Well, my own Canary is, certainly, not doing that, thankfully. I suggest you remove Canary. Next go grab a fresh DL of it from HERE. Then, re-install it. Please, let me know if this helps. Thanks.
Cheers,
Drew

@HotCakeXThank you. I figured out the problem before I read this, but this confirms it. It's sync related.

@Drew1903I finally uninstalled it, (my school computer didn't do it so I had to go through file explorer, start installing Firefox 70 again so I could see where it was saved, copied the address, paste it in file explorer, search 'edge', find the folder for canary, delete it, realize I had to delete the update one as well, and delete both of them), anyways,
I got it to re-install, and I found the culprits: Syncing favorites. Everything else syncs fine, but syncing favorites is crashing it.

Thanks for doing that exercise & getting back to me. Be sure to report that to Feedback.

"We wanted users that had multiple devices with different screen sizes (our favorite one is a Surface Studio owner who has a Surface Go for travel) to have control of "Show icon only" for each device. We are exploring a way to set this setting for multiple favorites so it's more efficient. "
that means whether a favorite is set to icon-only or not is not going to be synced between different devices.

Devs ARE aware of it and they fixed in the latest canary version.
