Summary: Right-clicking bookmark star (in URL bar) should display advanced bookmark options panel → Right-clicking bookmark star (in awesome bar) should display advanced bookmark options panel
This is by design, click once to add it to the unsorted bookmarks, click it twice to open the panel. Tts been this way for a long time. -->WONTFIX
Right click behavior open the context menu for the nav bar, this is by design.
(In reply to comment #2) > Right click behavior open the context menu for the nav bar, this is by design. And yet move a little to the left and you're given a context menu for the awesome bar specific functionality. That should be consistent across the text box, hence the implementation of this.
QA Contact: bookmarks → location.bar
True, this isn't a bad request to add functionality when right clicking on the star, though probably not needed. It would be consistent with having access to functionality just like right clicking on the back button does.

since the star is being moved to its own button in bug 748894, I don't see us adding a special contextual menu to it.
