With Firefox 4 my Bookmarks button is now embedded in the bookmark toolbar. The drop down button for the rest of my shortcuts on the toolbar is now over to the left of the right-side edge. It's really messing me up. I keep accidentally hitting the Bookmark button when I really want the drop down list from my bookmark toolbar. I always want to have the actual bookmark button on the top toolbar next to my printer button like before. I think we should be able to customize these things and not have them be a permanent change.

The Bookmarks button is for accessing the bookmarks that are not in the bookmarks toolbar. You can hide this button, if you do that, to access other bookmarks you can click the orange Firefox button then select Bookmarks.

To remove the bookmarks button, right-click on the Navigation toolbar and select Customize. This will open the customize toolbar window. Drag and drop the bookmarks button which will now be on the right hand edge of the navigation toolbar and drop it onto the customize toolbar window. Click Done to complete the process.
