How do I remove the Bookmarks drop down menu? I can't see most of my tabs in the bookmark toolbar.
I like having my bookmark toolbar, with the tabs. But with the Firefox 4 Beta, it automatically put up a Bookmarks drop menu. I want to remove it so that I can see most of my tabs, how do I do this?

Can you drag that button off that bar in the View > Toolbars > Customize window?
That does not help.
You can remove the whole bookmark toolbar by going to customize window, but that's not really what we are after.
We want to have the bookmarks on the bookmark toolbar but WITHOUT the Bookmarks drop down on the right.
Check the attached image what we are after.
Thank you! :)
You get that Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden to replace the missing Bookmarks menu. Probably the only way to suppress that button on the Bookmarks Toolbar is via code in userChrome.css
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#PersonalToolbar #bookmarks-menu-button {
display:none!important;
}

It appears the Bookmarks dropdown appears in the Bookmarks Toolbar whether the Menu bar is hidden or not (adding a Bookmarks button via Customize doesn't change the behavior either).
Now for a workaround :)
Just look at this picture and follow the steps: http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n112/4826721/firefox4/bookmarkstoolbaritems_bookmarkbutton.png
I had the same problem, but in fact it is pretty stupid :).
Thanks, that solved it :) *feeling stupid*
This doesn't work in OSX. There are no modifications showing on the Bookmarks bar, and the Bookmarks dropdown takes up room there. The Bookmarks dropdown on the Navigation toolbar won't drag away.
You can do it in OS X. When you click on Customize, you will see an icon that has a star with a drop down arrow next to it (it move the icon next to the other icons at the side of the address bar). Drag this icon to the Customize window & the bookmarks drop down will be gone from the bookmarks toolbar.
What if you just want to move the Bookmarks icon on the bar? I want to move it from the right side of the screen to the left side. I've tried Customize, but once I do that, all my tool bar icons disappear and the Bookmarks icon is on the left, but nothing I've tried will keep it there. Thanks.
