The bookmarks sidebar button (no drop-down) brings up the Bookmarks Sidebar ("Ctrl+B").

The bookmarks menu button(drop-down) brings up the Bookmarks Menu as the Menu Bar was hidden in Firefox 4. "

This is not a helpful article...maybe it's fine for someone who is a technical person with extensive Firefox exposure. I am not that person. Does it have to be so complicated? Isn't there any easier way to explain how to access bookmarks from a single-click drop-down?

Thanks. Is there a similar trick for getting one-click access to imported bookmarks?
