The area where you can drop icons to the left of "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" is narrow. Perhaps you would have better luck dragging "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" to the right of the Bookmarks menu drop-down icon?

When you say the "add bookmark" button do you mean the "star" in the address bar? I don't know whether you can pull it out of the bar, but you could use Ctrl+d instead.

You will only get the Bookmarks Menu button if the menu bar is disabled and you have the orange Firefox button.
If the Bookmarks Toolbar is on display then that bookmarks menu button will appear on the Bookmarks Toolbar toolbar and not elsewhere if you've moved it via the Customize window.

You can only have the Bookmarks Menu button display elsewhere (default is on the Navigation Toolbar) if the menu bar and the bookmarks toolbar are hidden.

Add this code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line to move the button to the left end on the bookmarks toolbar.

The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#personal-bookmarks #bookmarks-menu-button { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 0 !important; }

Maybe you have some technical or aesthetic reason for doing this, but do you have any idea how discombobulating iit is to click on Customize and Firefox TELLS me that the BOOKMARKS BUTTON is on the left but then it just magically appears on the right???????????????

..switching back to Chrome

You can install the following extension to prevent the Bookmarks button from jumping around.
