Why can I not separate the stupid "Bookmark This Page" Star from "Show your Bookmarks"? I never use that star and now it's all I click on when trying to open my Bookmarks. Very annoying

If you want to remove the ★ star icon,

  1. Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.
  2. Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons.
  3. In the Add-ons Manager, click User Styles on the left.
  4. Click the Write New Style button at the top. Paste the following in the text box, give the style a name, then click the Save button.
    • You may need to adjust the margin values to get the Ctrl+D bookmark popup aligned properly on your system.

#bookmarks-menu-button > .toolbarbutton-menubutton-button {
  visibility: collapse !important;
}

#bookmarks-menu-button > .toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker::before {
  display: none !important;
}

#editBookmarkPanel {
  margin-top: 32px !important;
  -moz-margin-end: -34px !important;
}

If you don't want to install an add-on, you can use the userChrome.css file instead, but I don't recommend it.
