In the URL bar we have an overflow menu as well as a bookmark star and the Pocket icon. When I click on the overflow menu, the options to bookmark and add to Pocket are also there. Should they be removed from the overflow?

My understanding is that this is by design (cf. https://mozilla.invisionapp.com/share/ENBBK0F9U#/screens/230998673 - "The contents of the "Action Menu" like the "Application Menu" remain stable to avoid customization issues where the user removes and later can not recover functions.") We always want to show all the items in the page action panel, including the ones that are available in the URL bar. We may also start hiding the urlbar items on small windows if there's a lack of space (bug 1401835), which wouldn't work well with removing these additional items.
