This feature only affects bookmarks added through the built-in Firefox bookmark icon or shortcut (Ctrl+D), through the context menu or via the bookmarks menu.
You can:
- Select where the new bookmarks will be added
- Choose to add the new bookmarks to the top or the bottom of the selected folder
- Choose to add the new bookmarks to the last used folder (by any bookmarking or sorting method)
- Select where the new folders of bookmarked tabs will be added (when bookmarking multiple selected tabs or using "Bookmark All Tabs...")
- Choose to add the new folders of bookmarked tabs to the top or the bottom of the selected folder
- Choose to add the new folders of bookmarked tabs to the last used folder (by any bookmarking or sorting method)
This feature will add a quick bookmark icon in the address bar, to (un)bookmark a page with only one click. The icon is a round star icon in the address bar. If the current page is bookmarked, the icon color will change to red.

I like the idea of this but having 2 bookmark buttons next to each other doesn't sit right with me (firefox default star + new star) if the plugin can disable the firefox star that would be great. also I think the star icon shouldn't have a circle because it makes it harder to see, making it just a regular full sized star like the default FF one would be better, but I understand the choice considering there's no way to remove the FF star.
