They should drag off. Right click a suitable empty space alongside on any toolbar and take the customixe (toolbar) option, you should then be able to drag them off onto the open window/pallete of options. Then click on done.

• see how do I customize the toolbars?

Post back with how you get on.

When I select "Customize," the bookmark buttons on the bookmark toolbar disappear. Thus can't remove separators as you suggest. However, it can be done by going to Bookmarks in the menu and, select the lines separating the bookmark groups and deleting them.

Yes, I was forgetting the bookmarked items count as one item, so you need to do it from the bookmarks library or whatever.

Glad you solved the problem.
