Okay, first of all : The people you're addressing here are (for the main part) volunteers - users, just like you, trying to help other users in our spare time. We're not Mozilla employees. Calling us names : I'll just put that down to you being very disappointed and frustrated.

Maybe you've already tried this : Click on the three vertical lines with backslash, then on 'Bookmarks' => 'Bookmarking Tools' => 'Add Bookmarks Menu to Toolbar'.

Does this make it any better for you  ?

dude tell that to my 75yold client then see if she can do it

to take things away or change how they are done fucks over a lot of ppl its no wonder many older ppl just give up on computers

Developers need to get there heads out of there backsides and realize we need a consistent approach to software and ppl need to choose if they want the format changed not change the format and have to figure out how to put it back the way it was

Are you saying that your 75-yo client is dumb  ???

If I can do it : anybody can (and my middle name is 'Stupid').

Maybe you could show that client how to do it - just like showed you (?)

Thank you so much for your kind words - sure brightens up my day  !

Piece of advice though : Don't assume that everybody here is a 'dude' ..... (Not that it makes any difference that I'm not a man)

Just like everybody else I had to get used to all the changes and find my way around - I am an user, just like you, remember  ? I explained to you how to add the Bookmarks Menu to theToolbar, but you said that I didn't help you at all - I am so sorry; I tried. But if calling me names made you feel any better : then at least I haven't been completely been wasting my time here. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

@brettshk, it appears necessary for you to get acquainted with our Mozilla Support rules and guidelines. insulting other forum members has to stop at once. thank you!
