When trying to utilize Bookmarks, I am unable to locate the "STAR" the video tutorials refer to. It appears to be missing.

As I mentioned, I am trying to maximize my user experience with Mozilla/Firefox and have been trying to learn more about utilizing Bookmarks. My problem is that all the Firefox Tutorials I have watched regarding how to use Bookmarks indicate that I need to click on the "STAR" icon near the top right-hand corner of my screen, but no "STAR" exists.

The items available for me to hover over are: 'Save to Pocket', 'Downloads', 'Mozilla Firefox Start Page', 'Share this Page', 'Share a Conversation' and the "Open Menu' tab. There is no sign of a 'Star' for setting-up or saving Bookmarks.

Also, when I click on the 'Menu' tab (the one comprised of 3 horizontal bars) there is still no sign of a 'Star' icon anywhere, to allow me to set up Bookmarks.

Please advise . . . Thank You,

Chosen solution

Type about:customizing<enter> in the address bar. In the new window, look for the icon. When you find it, hold down the left button on it, and move it to where you want it to be. You can move any of the icons you want from here, but some icons are locked in place.

There is also a Restore Defaults button at the bottom middle.
