I want the "Display your Bookmarks" dropdown tool button to show the same that the Bookmarks menu in the menu bar is showing. The tool button isn't displaying options from several add-ons that do appear on the menu bar options, including Speed Dial submenu and LiveClick submenu. Please tell me how to make them show these options in the same manner. Thank you.

It is up to the developer of those add-ons to configure where the menu items for their add-on appear, it's not something that is easily user configurable. If you think that is important, contact the developers of those add-ons and request that feature be added to their add-on.

There is a Speed Dial menu item available in the orange Firefox button > Bookmarks menu when the Menu Bar is hidden, but not in that Toolbar button. Fast Dial has their menu item available in all three places.

As far as LiveClick - http://projects.protej.com/index.php/liveclick/screenshots/ - it looks like there are context menus available.

Thanks for the reply. I thought there was some way to force the tool button to display exactly what the bookmarks menu has. But if you say this is not easy to do, then I guess I was wrong.
