How do I customise the url bar?

I'm really sorry if this is an obvious question, but for the life of me I just can not figure this out. When I go to customize firefox quantum, I can move things about on the toolbar nicely, but not on the url bar. I see the url bar has the bookmarks star on it, I'd like to move that off onto the toolbar by itself and I'd like to move the refresh button onto the url bar.

Is this possible with firefox quantum or in the url bar a baked-together thing which I can't change?

Hi, the Bookmark Star can be removed by right clicking it. As to where it goes and if can find it again is a mystery to me. Please this question :

The items you mention are fixed to specific containers. Items that are part of the location/address bar can only be in the urlbar container. This includes the bookmark star that is actually in the three dot page actions container.

Items that appear on the Navigation Toolbar can only be in the main customize area of the Navigation Toolbar and other toolbars (Menu bar, Bookmarks Toolbar, Tab bar), but can't be moved into the urlbar container. In previous Firefox versions more items on the Navigation Toolbar were in the location bar container, so things have approved when it comes to customizing items on the Navigation Toolbar.

You can find some items like the bookmarks star in the "Page actions" drop-down list (3-dot icon at the right end of the location/address bar). You can right-click an item in the "Page actions" drop-down list to add its button to the location/address bar for easy access or move the item to the page actions drop-down list.
