I cannot manage bookmarks at all. 

 1) there is no menu item entry 'Manage Bookmarks'
 2) there is no 'Manage bookmarks' icon in the toolbar.
  well, actually, there is, but it only shows up when I do Tools>Customize, but then it disappears when I close that window!

This is a fresh install, over a previous install (WITH "remove my personal data' checked, to clean out the old) AND, this happened on another computer. Completely identical problem.

  • "Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4.
  • Click the orange Firefox button to open the Firefox menu and click the Bookmarks entry or click "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Library.

Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.
One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.
The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.

You can drag the Bookmarks menu button with the drop marker in the Customize window from the toolbar palette on a toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar or Tab Bar or to the left side of the Bookmarks Menu Items).
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the menu bar is hidden.
If the bookmarks toolbar is visible then the default bookmarks menu button will appear on the right hand side of the Bookmarks Toolbar as part of the Bookmarks Toolbar Items. ...
