If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

One of your extensions probably hid that Menu item. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+theme...
BTW, there 5 ways to save a new Bookmark in Firefox. 1. 2. Right-click and select Bookmark this Page. 3. Bookmarks > Bookmark this Page 4. Double-click the Star that is on the right side of the Location bar. 4a. (A single-click on the Star will save the new Bookmark to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.) 5. Drag the website image in the URL bar into the Sidebar view of Bookmarks or to the Bookmarks menu bar item and then into the drop-down or onto the Bookmarks Toolbar

If your bookmarks have gotten longer than the height of your screen, you may have needed to click the 'down' arrow at the bottom of the bookmark pull-down list. Once having done this, the next time you use the Bookmarks menu, it may not have repositioned itself back to its default location. To overcome this problem, just click the 'up' arrow on top of the Bookmarks menu to restore the view for the first item again (see image).
