How do I restore the right click, add bookmark behavior to the way it was before Quatum broke it?

more options

Before the Quantum release, I would right click the mouse, click the star and the bookmark menu would appear with the most used folder list. Now, this behavior has changed to only drop you at the top level of the bookmark tree. Yes, I know I can use the bookmark icon on the toolbar, That is not as convenient as right clicking the mouse. PLEASE stop degrading the UI. how can I restore the old mouse behavior?

These all give me a drop-panel from the "star" in the address bar:

  • right-click > star
  • clicking the star in the address bar
  • Ctrl+d

The control that defaults to "Other Bookmarks" gives access to

  • Bookmarks Toolbar
  • Bookmarks Menu
  • Other Bookmarks
  • Choose...
  • recently used folders

My recently used folders were blank today, but as I add bookmarks, it is getting repopulated.

Are you not getting the drop-panel for all 3 of those methods?
