Bookmarks Tookbar in Fx 72 (Solved)

I've yet to find any relevant information on how to use the toolbar, which I thought I might use. However, being told to drag a favicon to the toolbar, when favicoss seem to have been removed, is an exercise in futility. Any method(s) exist for using the toolbar for something other than taking up a bit of the screen?

Drag a Tab to the Bookmarks Toolbar.

That sounds easy, but I've not figured out how to do it. I put the cursor in the tab and drag the contents down to the Bookmarks Toolbar, with an accompanying arrow, but no matter what I do, nothing is placed in the toolbar. I cannot drag the entire tab, only its contents. What am I doing improperly? (That question is limited solely to the nature of this discussion...).

I can create a bookmark by placing the mouse pointer on the favicon in a tab, hold the left click button, move the mouse pointer to the bookmark toolbar, then release the left click button.

I'm wondering if 'Bookmark Toolbars Items' has been dragged to the Navbar ?
I have a 'dropdown fave BM' folder there and that's the only place I can drag to, can't drag to the Bookmark Toolbar.

Can you drag the tab to the Bookmarks Toolbar folder in the sidebar if you open the bookmarks sidebar (Ctrl+B) ?

Nothing like ruining my day at 0613 Local, for I have, through Customize, moved the Bookmarks Toolbar from the Navbar to its proper location, and just added another entry to test, which worked.

Thanks for the clue, which most assuredly would not have occurred to me. I don't know if I would have even noticed this were I to open Customize for some other reason.

Yes, but mightyglydd had the answer for me, as you can see in my reply to him,
