I see the 'Pocket' missing from the Bookmarks button on the NavBar, but the Recent Bookmarks remain. It does not show either in a New Profile.

Really hating the idea of trying to create a new profile.

For me, the buttons on the bookmark toolbar have been reduced from a 26px height to a 19px height — about 25%. It's ludicrously annoying to try to target a bookmark there, now, particularly compared to normal bookmarks, which have a target height of 22px.

Note: Part of the 26px height looks like it's because putting the bookmarks menu on the bookmarks toolbar apparently raised the height by 2px, which relates to that one bug that got fixed. Even without that, though, 24px is much larger than 19px.

Hmmm.....
Try userchrome.css script below which I gotten from helpful mozillazine users here.

#bookmarks-menu-button {
padding-right: 50px !important;
margin-left: -5px !important;
margin-right: 0px !important;

#PlacesChevron {
padding-right: 50px !important;
margin-left: 0px !important;
margin-right: -5px !important;

Hmm for the search results, when hitting "delete" to remove them, they seem to re-appear when re-typing the keywords.

Think that only just started with latest nightly.

Unsure if this was intentional, or there's a preference to toggle?

I tested it a few days ago. It seemed stable but I couldn't cope with the fact that there still seem to be some font rendering issues. My eyesight isn't great and it was making it difficult for me to read things. I also noticed some chrome flickering with layers free enabled. It also takes a little bit longer to load the browser with it enabled.

If you can put up with those things it seems stable and fast.
Cheers!

I've been testing WR for some months and they have significantly improved it over time. The most annoying things are the choppy scrolling on some sites and some things like message boxes start out black for a second and then display correctly. Also when Fx is first started the screen is totally white for a second or two before the chrome is displayed. Also be aware that WE add-ons present an empty menu when you click on their icons on the tool bar. Setting 'extensions.webextensions.remote = FALSE' will prevent this. This pref controls whether add-ons use OOP or not. I also notice that some fonts on some sites appear darker. about:preferences is an example.

In case you are unaware of the preferences that should be changed to properly enable WR I present them below. I got these from a Mozilla site.

gfx.webrender.blob-images TRUE
gfx.webrender.enabled TRUE
gfx.webrender.layers-free TRUE
gfx.webrendest.enabled TRUE
layers.async-pan-zoom.enabled FALSE
extensions.webextensions.remote FALSE
Intel i9-13900K | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO DDR5 | 64GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 @ 6400 Mhz.
H100i ELITE CAPELLIX XT Liquid CPU Cooler | PNY 12GB GeForce RTX 3080 Ti | 2 CORSAIR 2TB MP600 PRO XT GEN 4
HX1200 PLATINUM PSU | XENEON 32" IPS UHD 144Hz | BenQ 32" UHD | MS Windows 11 Pro

Its a LOT more stable than it used to be though. I'd often get crashing and missing graphics and black screens. Now its slow scrolling and font issues. The flickering is still there but less flashy than before.
