No bookmark button on either laptop

There is no bookmark button. And there is no longer an option to bookmark a single tab (though that bookmark all tabs looks great to me! *grin*)
Please send me a bookmark button! I'm always bookmarking a site! Thanks ya'll.........

Tap on the URLBar. The "awesomebar" should be displayed. The first item in the results list is "See all bookmarks". Tap that item to browse your bookmarks.

Why does the bookmark button keeps moving from navigation to bookmark toolbar when I don't put it there; how to solve this?

Because my screen isn't that big, I want my bookmark-toolbar-items (the item for the special bookmarks folder) to take all width, and I want the bookmarks button on the navigation toolbar (because I don't need such a long url field).
As you can edit the toolbars and their buttons, I did change it to what I want, but whenever saving & closing the edit-window the bookmarks button (with the drop-down menu) moves down one toolbar automatically. This is very, very annoying, not the least because in the editing mode it is ok (it also is saved correctly).
Any way to overcome this problem?

When the Bookmarks Toolbar is displayed, the Bookmarks button automatically moves from the Navigation Toolbar to the Bookmarks Toolbar. This is intended behavior. I can't tell you ''why'' though, as it doesn't make any sense to me either and I likely find it twice as annoying as you do.
Install the following extension.

I need to retrieve my bookmarks from another laptop which doesn't boot to Windows any more. I have managed to copy the Firefox Profiles folder from that laptop - how do I now import bookmarks to a new laptop?

I've tried replacing the contents of the old Profile folder into the new folder and I have also tried just replacing the urlclassifier3.sqlite file, but that doesn't work either.
Googling hasn't helped me over the last 24 hours but surely there must be a way to do this - right?
Many thanks,
Anthony

Yes, there is a way to restore your bookmarks from your old laptop to the new one. Note that just replacing the contents of old Profiles folder will not work because your profiles.ini file contains a different profile name.
For steps on how to restore your bookmarks, please read this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information Backing up your information].

Hi. I just downloaded Firefox 4. Some of the new features are missing such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. It almost looks just like Firefox 3. I am using Windows XP on this desktop computer. On my laptop, running Windows Vista, Firefox 4 has all the updates advertised. Why is this happening? How do I fix?
Thanks

Thanks so much!

How do I get rid of the bookmark button in the bookmark toolbar?

I have firefox 4.0 RC1 on my laptop and on my desktop. On my desktop, the bookmark button on the toolbar is gone, but on my laptop the button on the toolbar is shown. I've seen a few post about having the button removed through coding but I don't really know much about that.
If anyone can help, that would be awesome. Maybe a step by step?

Doesn't work. I figured out that the only time the button will disappear is when I turn on the "Menu Bar." Other than that, when I drag another bookmark button in to the tool bar I just get two that come up.
More Info:
-Same addons
-Same RC version
-I tried changing the profiles
-I made the chrome/userChrome.css file (Could be doing it wrong)
-I didn't do anything for the bookmark button to disappear on my desktop

Can't find "Show All Bookmarks" button on Firefox 29

I can no longer locate the "Show All Bookmarks" button from the Bookmarks menu on Firefox 29. I tried looking for it in the Bookmarks Sidebar, but it's not there either. I would like to manually backup my bookmarks from time to time - is there another way to do this on Firefox 29?

Double click Bookmarks button to open the Library window directly ("Show All Bookmarks" function)

I have a number of folders in bookmarks, and I edit it frequently by clicking "Show All Bookmarks" and opening a Library.
Previously, after clicking Bookmarks button, "Show All Bookmarks" appeared on top of the list, and now it's at the bottom.
Please, add double click function on Bookmarks button so that it opens Library window directly.

I don't see the new "firefox button" and i can't see the bookmark button (with the drop down option) unless I'm in the customize toolbar view. How can I fix these?

I am using Firefox 4.0 on Windows XP home, Service pack 3. I am trying to use some of the new features of Firefox 4.0 that I see on the Firefox feature page (http://mzl.la/gCFDjj) and am not having much luck. First off in the Firefox Button. It is supposed to contain all your menu items but it is not appearing on my screen. Is this a feature that only works in Vista or Windows 7?
Second, I am trying to use the Bookmarks Button (the one that has the drop down menu) but it doesn't appear in my toolbar unless I right click the tool bar and choose "customize". The button shows up in this view already in the toolbar, as if it is hidden in normal use and no matter where I move it to, once I hit the "done" button in the customize window the Bookmarks Button gets hidden/covered up again.
Third, I see the new "App Tabs" feature but I can't seem to find an option for this in the preferences for Firefox, if it's even supported by my browser/OS at all.
Can anyone tell me how to use/activate these features or if I am even able to using Windows XP?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar). 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. 
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

How can I move the Bookmarks button on the Bookmarks toolbar to the left side, please?

I have just done a full reset to get rid of various problems and am trying NOT to alter things without a good reason as that is probably how I broke it before... but I really do need my bookmarks button on the left!
I cannot discover how to open a customise menu for the bookmarks toolbar??

You should be able to move the Bookmarks Menu button to the left end side of the Bookmarks Toolbar ot to another toolbar while the customize window is open.
*Firefox menu button > Options > Toolbar Layout
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area

Why can't I view my bookmark folders in alphabetical order when I click on the bookmark button on the browser? Is there a way to see the folders in alphabetical order all the time?

I click on the bookmarks button on the Firefox browser and the folders that hold the bookmarks are not in any particular order. I would like the folders to be in alphabetical order when I see them...when I click on the bookmarks button at the top of the browser. When I go to organize bookmarks I can sort them so they are in alphabetical order, but they do not show up that way when you just click on the bookmark button to get to your bookmarks. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

In 4.0.1, is it possible to move the Bookmarks Button on the Bookmarks Toolbar to a different position on the Bookmarks Toolbar from it default position on the far right?

The default Bookmarks Button is on the far, upper right side of the browser window on the Bookmarks Toolbar. It's distracting there, on the edge, in Siberia. I use it a thousand times per day. It's unnatural and distracting to always be turning to the edge, away from "the action". Is there any way to slide its location on the toolbar? Or at least put it on the far left where there's more "action"? I doubt I'm the only one with this instinct, otherwise the Firefox button and items on the usual menu bar (like File, Edit) would not always be placed on the upper left, not upper right. I'm not asking about the other, optional Bookmarks Button that can be put on the Navigation Toolbar which functions differently and more cumbersomely.

To move the bookmarks button on the Bookmarks Toolbar, you have to go into Customize first. Just drag the button palette to one side so you have full access to the bar. The only things on it should be "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" and the icon for the bookmarks drop-down list. Hopefully then you can swap their positions.
(And it is weird that the buttons look the same when one shows a menu and other opens the Bookmarks Sidebar.)

I have my tabs, and my Yahoo toolbar. I do not anything else. I don't have my address bar, back button, home button, bookmark button, or anything. Please help. Thank you.

I can't use Firefox because all I have at the top of the screen is the orange Firefox button, tabs, and my Yahoo toolbar. I don't have my address bar. I don't have the back and foreward buttons. I don't have the Home button or the Bookmarks button. I don't have my Google search bar. I don't have any the things that I should have and that I need to make it work. How do I fix this? Thank you.

I have been using 4.0 for about 2 months, and I know all of the new features and where everything is. But as of day before yesterday, the things that I mentioned '''are not there anymore'''! How do I get these things back? Thank you.

The bookmarks button to the right of home icon is now gone how do I reinstall it?

I am running Firefox 15.0.1
I have researched your articles and came to the place where it is suggested to drag the Icon for that function and drop it into the customize section of the Bookmarks Tool bar. When I drop it in there the icon shows, BUT the instant I close the palette the new added icon on the taskbar is gone.
I have customized the bookmarks managing quite extensively. That is why the option of resetting it makes me panic, specially that I have lost bookmarks more than a couple times while upgrading FF versions.
I have set 20 folders where I have sorted hundreds of bookmarks.
My add-ons are:
- Adblock Plus 2.1.2
- DblClicker 1.6.1
- Flashblock 1.5.15.1
- Java Console 6.0.33
- LastPass 2.0.0
- Lazarus Form Recovery 2.3
- RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 15.0.6
- Rights to Close 1.0.4
- Tab Preview 0.3
- Tab Navigator 1.1
I added this list cause of the comment i read in here that there may be some conflict which could be producing my current problem.
What would you suggest may be affecting my Bookmarks button? And more importantly how do I fix it?
I would appreciate knowledgeable contributions to help me solve my isssue
Thank you kindly

*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the menu bar is hidden.
*Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.
Firefox 4+ versions have 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 with the Bookmarks menu is hidden (View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options). 
If the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible then the Bookmarks Menu button is displayed on the Bookmarks Toolbar as part of the Bookmarks Toolbar Items (bookmarks), but you can move it from the right side to the left side of the Bookmarks toolbar if the Customize window is open. 
Otherwise the Bookmarks Menu button will appear on the right side of the Navigation Toolbar.

Why can't I remove the long BOOKMARKS button from the right hand end of the bookmarks toolbar?

This button is completely superfluous and takes up space on my Bookmarks Toolbar. How do I remove it please?
To be clear, I have the 'normal' bookmarks button on my main toolbar that opens up my bookmarks in the panel on the left. What is the purpose of the Bookmarks button on the right end of the bookmarks toolbar that opens up the same bookmarks in a different presentation, and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks very much Vivek and the-edmeister, now I understand and have managed to remove the unwanted button. I beieve the ergonomics of all this are very poor - starting from the fact that 'customize' gives the impression you are in control of what appears and what doesn't, but this is confused by the fact that Firefox is also adding and removing icons depending on what toolbars are showing. Also, and the main cause for this problem, the icon I want to remove from Bookmarks toolbar does not show on Bookmarks toolbar in 'Customize' view. AND, there's the fact that the icon doesn't even look the same in the two views so it's not obvious that moving the little button (in customize) will affect the larger button with text that's on another toolbar!
For other people with the same problem, my re-writing of Vivek's original solution so it works on my system is this:
Please try this: right-click on the '''+''' after the last tab and '''Customize''' and click, hold and drag the star icon that has the little down arrow beside it from any of the toolbars on which it appears (it probably won't be in the Bookmarks toolbar!) into the Customize mini window.
Thanks again both.

What is the bookmark button for? It keeps disappearing.

The bookmark button shows at 'customize' time but then just goes away. What is it for?

That Bookmark button appears when the Menu Bar is hidden and the Bookmarks word menu item won't appear. Showing the Menu Bar is the default for WinXP; with Vista & Win7 the Menu Bar is hidden by default.
That particular Bookmarks button opens a slightly truncated view of what the Bookmarks menu item on the Menu Bar shows. There's another similar Bookmarks button that is sitting in the Customize Palette which opens the Bookmarks Sidebar.
If you want to see the Bookmarks button that "disappears" when you close Customize, open View > Toolbars and click on Menu Bar so the check-mark is gone and Menu Bar will be hidden, replaced by the orange Firefox button.
