How do I display the Bookmark shortcut?

The newer update has removed the Bookmark button from my tool bar. The Bookmark Star has also disappeared from the right up side of my Foxfire Home page. When I go to the menu at the far right side of the Foxfire Home Page the Bookmark Star opens a column of Bookmarks that cannot be added to, sorted or edited. There is no "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmark column. There is instead a "Edit this Bookmark" that is inoperable. When I try to move a Bookmark within the Bookmark column I only get a movable shaded bar but no associated Bookmark movement and I cannot drop the Bookmark.

In current Firefox releases the "Bookmark This Page" menu entry in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark" once you have bookmarked the page and the star on the Navigation Toolbar is highlighted blue.

So do not get confused by the missing "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu and seeing "Edit This Bookmark" instead if you try to bookmarks a page that is already bookmarked.

Note that you no longer have the bookmarks star in the location bar, but now have a combined star/folder button to bookmark the link and open the bookmarks menu drop-down list that has "Show All Bookmarks" at the bottom of the list


In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden
A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar

  • There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.
    You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
  • If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
  • You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window

It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.
