Click Star and no action moving to Bookmark. I can very randomly click star to create bookmark. Most of the time. No joy adding Bookmark. What did I do. FF 35.0.1

I already posted on the first page of this thread that you should check for issues with the places.sqlite file. Did you miss this or didn't it work at the time?

After I updated to 36.0.1....I tried rename again and rename seems to have resolved. Don't know why now and not before. Will see if sorted 100% after more trial. So, do I retain sqliteold and new sqlite....?

Disable all of your suspects. Then restart Firefox. Is the problem still there?

If so, re-enable one of the suspects, restart Firefox. Has the problem returned? Go on to the next, continue until the problem returns.

Once found, place the suspect under arrest (disabled), and tell us who it is.

My toolbar is fine but the star is gone from my URL bar. I want it back. And I want to get rid of that drop-down arrow and the reload. I've handled it my way for years and don't want that drek on my URL bar.

Please tell me how to restore the star (bookmark) which was great. And how to delete the drop-down arrow (which is terrible and annoying and could be an add-on instead of a force-on) as well as the force-on reload.
