hi, the following steps should get you back to the bookmarking structure you're familiar with :))

  • click on the 57 library icon library icon and go to bookmarks > bookmarking tools > add bookmarks menu to the toolbar.
  • now when you click the Bookmark Menu icon (star on tray) icon that's newly appearing on the toolbar, you'll get to the same bookmarks menu like in earlier versions...

I will have to Bookmark this post it's so useful Latest Firefox suffers from developer ego disease that afflicts a lot of software and manifests when the poor old users have to search to find out why they cannot get on with their usual productive day because some pin head in the design team decides they need a new "experience" I used this useful post when the new update appeared and since then I have re-installed due to crashes and as usual I cannot remember the ritual for getting your bookmarks back on the toolbar Excellent Support!

p.s. be very careful if you decide to "drag and drop" a bookmark folder in the new version because they just dissappear!
