"Bookmarks Toolbar" recent usage change/update

Why did Firefox change the way one could hide or display the "Bookmarks Toolbar"?

Before all one had to do was click on "View" and one could hide or show the Bookmarks Toolbar, but with the latest change/update, now one has to chose select "View", then hover over "Toolbars", then hover over "Bookmarks Toolbar", and finally select "Always", "Never" or "Only on New Tab". How could that be an improvement? I miss being able to toggle it off or on in a rapid manner, because now I have to waste more time to just hide or display it again.

Is there a way to be able to view or hide the "Bookmarks Toolbar" in a more efficient manner? I'm asking because I normally have to hide them and later display them back again tens of times on a daily basis, mainly because when I take screen captures, I don't want the Bookmarks Toolbar to appear. So this new feature really annoys me.

Hopefully there's another alternative to be able to toggle it on or off.

It basically fixes the unwanted Bookmarks Toolbar update and reverts the Bookmarks Toolbar preferred functionality back to normal (its previous way), as well as also getting rid of the unwanted "Other Bookmarks" folder that would take up too much space on the Bookmarks Toolbar designated area.

Thank you "cor-el" for this tip/easy fix.
