It seems if you have the bookmarks toolbar running the pull-down bookmarks button will not work or show up with the other buttons even though its there when u go customize, but if you turn off bookmarks toolbar then the bookmarks pull-down button appears, how can we have the bookmarks toolbar & the bookmarks pull-down button appear at the same time? I have all my favorite sites in bookmarks toolbar but would like to access the rest of my bookmarks through the pull-down button at the moment I have to use top left firefox button to go to my bookmarks.

You should see the Bookmarks Menu button at the right end of the bookmarks toolbar if that toolbar is visible. You can drag the bookmarks menu button with the drop marker to the left of the Bookmarks Toolbar items on the Bookmarks Toolbar if you prefer to see that button on the left side. That BMB button needs to be on the Bookmarks Toolbar if that toolbar is visible. Otherwise it will be hidden.

Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.
One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.
The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.

You can drag the Bookmarks menu button with the drop marker in the Customize window from the toolbar palette on a toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar or Tab Bar or to the left side of the Bookmarks Menu Items).
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the menu bar is hidden.
If the bookmarks toolbar is visible then the default bookmarks menu button will appear on the right hand side of the Bookmarks Toolbar as part of the Bookmarks Toolbar Items.

Yes I already saw the 2 bookmarks buttons one as the pulldown the other as side bookmarks, l have already put the pulldown menu bookmark into taskbar with the stop reload and other buttons and I also have menu bar hidden, it will not show up unless I turn off bookmarks toolbar thats the only time it shows up, but as l said before l need the bookmarks toolbar with my favorties, but would also like to be able to use the bookmark pulldown button as well for all my other bookmarks, seems at the moment we can only have one on at a time.
