I'm a new user to Firefox on my Mac. I don't see a Share button that would allow me to email the current web site to a friend. Looking for help on the web, I see:

To access the feature, simply click on the Share button on the toolbar. The Share button looks like a paper airplane and is located to the right of the address bar.

but I just don't see any button or icon that looks like that.

I went into View > Toolbars > Customize Toolbars and didn't see a way to add a Share button. I clicked 'Restore to Defaults' and that didn't help.

I know I can choose File > Share from the menu but I'd rather have a toolbar item.

Here's a snapshot of my toolbar and address bar.

Thanks for any help.

You can also go into Customize mode and drag the "Email link" button into the toolbar.

Thanks much--that worked if I want to send by email. But I am reading about a generic Share button that looks like a paper airplane that's different from the Send Email button. For instance, suppose I want to send the web page by text message, or some other app. My installation doesn't seem to have that button. I'm wondering if that Share button has been retired?
