How can I move App Tabs to the bottom, where the other bookmark toolbars are? Or, how can I put my bookmark toolbars in two rows and forget the App Tabs?

I have several bookmarks on my toolbar, and my most often used ended up in a pull-down menu, which is annoying. I tried to click and drag them onto the menu bar, because there was room for more icons, but they won't budge. Nothing under "Toolbars" was helpful. Help would tell me to right click on my toolbar and then click on "Customize"...which didn't come up as an option. I would really like all my toolbar bookmarks (I only have about 10) to be visible on the actual toolbar, not hidden away in a small pulldown tab. There is a plug-in that enables you to put bookmarks in two rows on your toolbars, but it is not compatible with my version of FF (7.0.1). App Tabs are cute, but I don't like them on top where they take up room where I have the tabs for various websites open (I usually have several open at a time). App Tabs are fixed and don't scroll over like website tabs, which is extremely annoying, and hence why I 1)would like to move them to the bottom of the toolbar or 2)be able to display all my bookmarked toolbars --which is what I prefer. BTW, I have Windows 7. Thanks in advance for your help.

App tabs are special tabs and are always displayed at the left end of the tab bar.

You can place all bookmarks that you want to see on the Bookmarks Toolbar in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder.
You can do that in the side bar or the Bookmarks manager if you can't do it on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Most Visited is a special (smart) folder that shows websites that you've visited and that aren't necessarily bookmarks, so you can't drag them on the bookmarks toolbar unless you first bookmark them. You can do that by opening them in a tab and clicking the star on the location bar twice and choose the Bookmarks Toolbar as the destination folder.

I know about the App Tabs, as I said in my original post, and greatly dislike them. As for the side bar, that's not what I want. I want my bookmarks I have chosen to be on the toolbar to actually be visible on the toolbar.

If you do not want App tabs then why do you create them via the right-click context menu if you currently have any?
You can unpin them the same way via the right-click context menu of such a pinned tab.

Did you try to create bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar to the pages that you want to appear there by visiting those pages and clicking the star on the location bar to bookmark them?
