In the latest version of Firefox, the "Most Visited" dropdown menu appears as a button in the Bookmark Toolbar. Is there a way that I can add the "Most Visited" dropdown menu to a different toolbar? I don't want to display the entire Bookmark Toolbar which takes up an entire line, just to have access to the "Most Visited" button/drop down menu. Also, Firefox isn't adding most my visited websites/links/bookmarks to the "Most Visited" dropdown menu/button. Is there a setting that I have to enable? I basically want some way that gives me quick acces to my most frequently visited websites, something like a speed dial feature Thanks

No, you can not move just one folder or item from the Bookmarks Toolbar. But you can hide or delete the other folders / items so that when you move the Bookmarks Toolbar Items (as named while in the Customize mode) only the Most Visited folder appears.

  • "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called Smart Bookmarks folders and are not real existing folders.
  • Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
  • Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
  • Bookmarks or history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
  • If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
  • If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
  • Items that disappear from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
  • Actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.
