Details

As the web is discovered more and more, many people are getting tons of bookmarks. I tried recently to create a second Bookmark Toolbar and I realized that it was impossible in Firefox, as the user must drag the Bookmarks Toolbar Icons button, which there is only one of. There is an add-on I found, Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus, but I think this is the sort of feature that should be in Firefox from the get-go, the toolbars should be much more customizable then they currently are.

Also, the system for creating toolbar is a bit clunky, when I click Customize, then Add Toolbar, my first instinct is to close the menu to be able to put things on it (My first thought was bookmarks of course), but if I didn't put anything, it disappears! This makes it seem as though there is a bug where the toolbar the user just created doesn't work. 

I then managed to make a toolbar with some of the buttons in the customize menu, but I didn't know how to delete the toolbar afterwards. I think that having to customize it again and remove every icon on it isn't user friendly, it should be done by itself with an easy way to delete a toolbar. Also, I've seen some people having trouble with this as a small separator gets placed on the toolbar and it becomes hard to find.

Steps to Reproduce:
1 - Right-Click on a toolbar and select Customize.
2 - Select Add New Toolbar, name it, close the menu.
3 - Notice that the toolbar has disappeared.
4 - Select Customize again, attempt to make a second bookmarks toolbar.
5 - Notice that the function to add a second bookmarks toolbar is missing from Firefox.

Expected Result:

I think it would be a great feature that would boost the customizability of Firefox if the user had more control and better features in the Toolbar Customization fields.

Thanks for your time!
