Having issues adding the Star Bookmark icon to my toolbar...

more options

I have downloaded the newer version of Mozilla 58.0.2 and I have lost the ability to bookmark websites via the Star icon, now I either have to use the short cut ctrl+D, or go to the Menu Tool bar, go to Bookmarks, then click on Bookmark this page.

I tried using the other forums and suggestions of clicking ALT or F10 and about:customizing (did this one both on the search mozilla support, and the new tab) and nothing happened for any of those choices.

I also tried following the regular customizing the tool bar options, but the Add Bookmark icon is not even an option). Tried restoring to defaults, and nothing. Also, tried refreshing Firefox.

Nothing has proved successful... normally I am pretty good and figuring this stuff out on my own but there are no other forums on how to troubleshoot.

Please help, I use this browser for work, and software updates are unfortunately mandatory and there's is no way for me to download and older version of Mozilla.

Thanks for the assist, and attentivey looking for solutions.
