I just upgraded to 4.0 and found a bug. It appears that if you try and Customize Toolbar by putting the BOOKMARK (down arrow) in a desired location (e.g. right next to the HOME ICON), it shows it has been accepted and you click DONE. However, instead of placing it where you asked, it changes it location to the end of Booksmark Toolbar, which is NOT where you placed it. I know this is a minor bug but I would greatly appreciate it being fixed. If you want something somewhere, and you put it there, and it shows it going there, it should go there. Thank you!

It is not a bug, but caused by the CSS code that is used. You only see that bookmarks menu button on another toolbar if the bookmarks toolbar and the menu bar are hidden. If you have the Bookmarks Toolbar visible then that button is displayed on that toolbar.

Thank you for the reply. When I make the Menubar visible, then the Icon for Bookmarks disappears! No offense but IF you are given an option to place something somewhere, and it lets you, and you save it, and it decides to move it or no longer show it, it is a bug or very bad programming logic.

I guess I am stuck with keeping the Menubar visible as this gives me the Bookmarks 'option' close to where I need it without sucking up precious Bookmark Toolbar space . Too bad because the Menubar takes up horizontal real estate and I do not need any of the other options. Hopefully the programming team will realize this shortcoming and consider fixing it.
