I'd like to remove the redundant "Bookmarks" drop-down menu from my "Bookmarks" toolbar.
On a Mac, the menu bar (i.e. File, Edit, View...) is always visible, and includes the "Bookmarks" drop-down. However, there is also now a "Bookmarks" menu installed in my Bookmarks toolbar that is redundant and takes up valuable space. Is there a way to remove this?

Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" and drag that bookmarks menu button in the palette.
Hi, I had the same question, but I'm not sure if I understand the answer. When I open that Customize menu, it collapses all the bookmarks to the left of the tool bar, displaying:
Bookmarks Toolbar...>>
as if you can't get rid of just the redundant drop-down menu?
Okay, but when I do that it removes all of the bookmarks I have in the bookmarks toolbar, like the other asker posted. So I take it that there's essentially no way to have only the actual bookmarks in the toolbar, it's either the bookmarks + the bookmarks dropdown or nothing.
Cor-el was right. What happens when you go to View > Toolbars > Customize is that a dialog box appears in the middle of your screen and the appearance of the address bar and bookmarks bar changes. It ONLY changes while you are in this editing mode. (You'll notice, for example, that both the reload and stop buttons are visible, rather than it being one or the other, which is now the default appearance for FF.)
What you want to do is click on whatever you want removed from the toolbar (star icon for bookmarks, house icon for home, etc.), drag it into the dialog box and then let go. If you scroll down to the bottom of the dialog box, you'll see the toolbar items you removed at the bottom. They're there, ready to be dragged back up top if you ever want them back.
Unless I'm missing something, dragging the Bookmarks item off the toolbar and into the Customize dialog is not the solution. As ffhmc said, that removes ALL the bookmark icons, not just the "Bookmarks \/" dropdown button.
I'm not seeing anything in about:config either. There really should be a way to make that button disappear.
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#PersonalToolbar #bookmarks-menu-button { display: none !important; }
