4. Menu Button do not have drop down marker.

I'm starting to think we should just remove this across platforms...

Up to shorlander, really. I don't mind either way. I can see that it has its virtues and it has been there on non-Windows platforms for a long time without anyone opening a bug for it afaik. But we can also remove it. It's part of the Photon spec cross-platform, that's why I enabled it on Windows.

For me it makes my bookmarks toolbar 21 "arrows" wider, which I don't like. 
RSS feeds are treated as folders, do they need to be?
Not tracking for 55, I will let the photon team handle this :)

Yeah the arrow is redundant since we also have the folder icon(s) to indicate that is has a menu. Let's remove it everywhere and save some space.

Already discussed in the meeting that we should do this.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: This needs to be fixed in 55 so that we don't regress how many bookmarks can fit in the toolbar on Windows.

Remove dropdown arrow from bookmarks toolbar folders. r=nhnt11
Apparently shared/jar.mn.inc wasn't part of my patch although I'm pretty sure I modified it...
