A Browser That Is Truly Mine, Ya Say?

For years I've been complaining about the lack of customization, or should I say the lack of ability to undo your changes to my GUI!

What is this stupid "V" you put in "my" browser? I don't care because I don't want it! You put it there but gave me no way to remove it!

This stupid puzzle piece icon, again, you put it there but gave me no way to remove it!

It's not "my" browser if/when you don't let me control it! And again, why still, can't we change the color of our scroll bars? Grey on Grey is a horrible color choice for "visibility", however it works great for "invisibility" on some screens. My point is, you advertised this is my browser:

And then you give me no way to control it!

Petty Pet Peeves? Perhaps. But I've been complaining long enough and loud enough to feel blatantly ignored, all the while the thumbs up keep adding up because others feel the same as I do.

That's about all I have to say about that.

Clarification Bookmarks in Firefox

In my screenshot you don't see the star in the address bar
That's normal, and for this reason i use a userChrome.css code
#star-button-box {display:none!important;}

I completely agree. The concern dates back several years now, but seems to be intensifying with the new tools and format imposed.

Well said. I wouldn't mind the puzzle piece if it simply opened about:addons, or could be configured to, as it would then be useful.

Being able to drag that and the down arrow/folder away could be enabled by changing two instances of the word "false" to "true" in the code. Is that really too much to ask?
