We can sort "Bookmarks toolbar" items only by title through "ContextMenu->Sort by Name". I need to sort it by Visit Count.

Sort function implemented in Ecmascript contrary to Library's "Views->Sort->*" and because of that is slow.

if invoked through Library>Bookmarks Toolbar->Right Click->Sort by Name" - it takes ridiculously long time and cause browser unresponsiveness, compared to "Right Click on Bookmarks Toolbar free area in Browser window"

Reproducible: Always

I have made Bookmarks toolbar to be sorted by visit count:

in /usr/lib/iceweasel/chrome/browser.jar/content/browser/browser.js i've replaced 

var place = PlacesUtils.getQueryStringForFolder(PlacesUtils.bookmarks.toolbarFolder);

with 

var place = "place:queryType=1&sort=8&maxResults=1500&folder=3";

Confirming.

See also bug 250787: “Bookmarks menu and toolbar don't obey sorting preferences from BM.”

hm, why having Bookmarks toolbar sorted by visit count?
Having moving targets in a toolbar does not sound much sane.
