Where is "bookmark this tab" feature in ff4 and ff5? Why is it removed?
Usually the goal is to improve the software, not to reduce its helpful features.
This is really disappointing...

I too can't understand why this got removed.
Sure you can right click the current page and bookmark it, the problem is when it comes to bookmarking a tab you are not currently looking at the option is no longer available. I've seen numerous posts asking for it but it still hasnt been put back into Firefox 5. Come on Mozilla this was a useful feature and is the only reason I still use FF3
Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or Alt+B to open the Bookmarks menu and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
- "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
- "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.
- "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

REPLY IS IRRELEVANT!
The issue is about "bookmark this tab" feature / not "bookmark all tabs" (
Agree with _Mick_ the reply is unhelpful and irrelevant.
We are talking about a feature that was in FF3 and is not in 4 or 5. Right clicking on a TAB and hitting bookmark this tab - this feature allowed for bookmarking unfocused tabs as well as the current one, something which right clicking the page doesn't allow.
As for posting links to addons why should we install addons for a feature that was in the browser and still should be.

you can unhide the Bookmarks Toolbar (View>Toolbars>Bookmarks Toolbar). Then you can just drag the page you want to be bookmarked!
hope this helps. encountered the same problem.

We are talking about a simple right-click context menu command that lets the user bookmark the tab even when the tab is not in focus. (refer to FF3 for further details)
I'm already familiar with other bookmarking methods and toolbar.
I agree that the option to bookmark only the one tab should NOT have been removed.
