what happened to the show bookmarks button firefox 3.6.x
In Firefox 3.6 and all previous versions I have used, there was a button on the bookmarks toolbar near the New-Tab/New-Window buttons.
The button was purplish with a white "star" in the center. Clicking the button would open the sidebar and display the bookmarks in the sidebar.
Starting with Firefox 3.6.3 (I never tried 3.6.2), this "Show-Bookmarks-in-Sidebar" button has disappeared.
Now, in order to show the bookmarks ion the sidebar, you have to click: [View]=>[Sidebar]=>[Bookmarks]
What happened to this button ? Can I customize FF to bring this button back ?
(If I rt-click=>customize, I see all kinds of buttons I can add to the toolbar, but the bookmarks button is not there).
Thanks
Kevin

That button is in the Customize Palette.

edmeister - Thanks for your quck reply.
As I mentioned before, I have tried "customize" without luck... 1) View 2) Toolbars 3) Customize...
This brings up the customize pop-up window with about 40 or so buttons that I can choose from. I can add or remove buttons from the toolbar by dragging buttons to or away-from the toolbar, or by moving the buttons within the toolbar to change the order of appearance.
This all works ok.
The problem I am having is the "Show-Bookmarks-in-Sidebar" button is no longer present in the selection area of the customize pop-up window, so I cannot choose this button to add to the toolbar.
I have tried this on 2 computers with the same results.
AMD Athalon-800 mhz 32-bit 0.75 GB ram Win-XP-PRO-SP3, and AMD Phenom II X4 810-2.60 GHz 64-bit 8.00 GB ram Win 7 H/P
I have also reloaded Firefox 3.6.0 on both computers and the "Show-Bookmarks-in-Sidebar" button is present and working.
The button is missing on Firefox 3.6.3 and 3.6.13, and probably all version in between (I have not tried Firefox 3.6.2).
Any suggestions ??
Thanks
Kevin
