In bug 1219788 we made the bookmarks toolbar show up if users changed the location of a bookmark to be the bookmark toolbar.

This was implemented using a callback that is invoked when the selected folder in the panel / dialog changes.

After the changes in bug 1665389, it will be possible (in fact, it will be the default, on new profiles!) for bookmarks to start off on the bookmarks toolbar - that is, when a user bookmarks, that new bookmark will already be on the toolbar.

The logic from bug 1219788 is only invoked when the folder is changed, so it won't be invoked in this case, meaning we won't show the bookmarks toolbar.

After the changes in bug 727668, the showing of the bookmarks toolbar is only temporary - the toolbar disappears again when the user navigates or switches tabs.

I'm pretty sure that we want to continue doing what we started in bug 1219788 which is to show the toolbar when a bookmark is created directly on the toolbar.

What I'm less sure about is what we should be doing if e.g. the user edits an existing bookmark that's already on the toolbar. Should we still show the toolbar? I'm not sure if this makes sense or not...

From conversations with UX folks: we want to show the toolbar when creating bookmarks on the toolbar, or when moving a bookmark there while editing the bookmark (which we already do) -- but not when opening an editing panel from the star icon to edit a bookmark already on the toolbar.
