The point is the star button is not in a convenient location in FF 29... I find have to search for the star button now when need to bookmark something. I guess it made to much sense to have right in the address bar so they moved it... The Classic Theme Restorer may be in my near future.
UPDATE: I used the Customize feature to move the star button just to the right of the address bar and that is good enough for me.
What's the use of an uncategorized bookmark? I always drag the url into a bookmark folder in the toolbar (which I always have open; apparently come people hate that.) For uncategorized stuff, well, I guess that's why I have 300+ tabs open right now...
And Tree Style Tabs. Cannot live anymore without TST. That really ought to be in the core. Especially since it's sometimes a little buggy, though that may be because FF is changing underneath it.
Oddly, I'm on Nightly, and the star button is to the right of my url bar. I don't remember moving it back there, and I don't know why I would, since I never use it.
