Well yes, there is absolutely nothing that I want on the supplied toolbar.
and therefore on that basis it would  be right to get rid of it.    But with
my stuff on it, that is entirely another matter.   I have almost only folders
on the toolbar, and that makes it very simple to get to the bookmark that
I want to get to.  To give you a quick look at what my bookmarks toolbar
looks like see.    (about 2/3 height of original, and about half size on width)

I found the  Firefox 4 mock-ups,  
    Firefox 4.0 theme mockups - Mozilla Links
    http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2009/07/firefox-4-0-theme-mockups/
I'd seen them before,  there is nothing there
to say that they got rid of the bookmarks toolbar,  you always had ability  to take
it out of view.   The interesting thing is that they dumped the title bar,  I like the
title bar but would like control over it,  like exactly 1/2 the height would be nice,
so I still have all wording and controls.   Without the title bar my arrangement, I think,
uses about the same space and I have 4 toolbars  .   Can't tell for sure, but  I think that
their mockup is reduced in size.    Examples of mine.  If you move the cursor over them
and see a plus sign click on the image to see it full size.

Although the pictures don't show it,  I do remove the  down arrow from the
unified  back/forward button similar to the Firefox  4 mockup.
