OK, I have Win-XP, SP3, and just downloaded FF 10.0 this week.

Can someone at mozilla please take into account older people with vague memories? So that from now on, if i key the below on major search engines:

"how to drag bookmark/icons to toolbar as shortcuts"

I'll get the answer, instead of spending hours of time trying to find the answer? I searched high & low (i believe the same thing happened last year with my other identical laptop).

Now i just bought another laptop, same as my other one, and the circus is starting again, trying to figure out how to get the shortcuts dragged to my toolbar.

For example: Just now I tried dragging the orange/blue Fox-Icon from BOTH: this web page AND the toolbar above (which states mozilla.org)

...tried dragging them to the File/Edit/History/Bookmarks bar.

No dice, instead: 2 more Tabs popped up.

For me, that's very non-intuitive.

So once again: (1) how to enable dragging of icon/shortcuts to toolbar? (2) how to ensure that in future, i can find answers intuitively via a simple web-search such as forementioned?

btw, i also couldn't find a Subscribed-Topics (or User-CP) area, so i can check whether & where i asked this question the last time. And i'm practically sure i did ask this same question, and that the answer was, that i'm supposed to drag the icons. Except that's not working for me now!

btw, on a tangent, I also had AVG pop up a balloon to the effect that FireFox is taking a toll on available memory (or something to that effect). Does FF 10.0 indeed guzzle memory? I don't need fancy apps.. Never did, and never will, so i hope it's not glutting the system.
