I'd like to be able to click on an icon in the Firefox search-bar to immediately bookmark a URL.
I already know that I can click on the ... "Page actions" icon to select the "Bookmark This Page" option, and I know I can drag the URL from the left onto the bookmarks bar to achieve this.
However, is there a way to replace the "Save to pocket" icon and replace it with a "Bookmark" icon?
I am using Firefox 63 on Ubuntu 18.10.
Here is a screenshot of the ... "Page actions" icon icon and the "Save to pocket" icon that I currently have...

I'm on Firefox 64 (and you'll be as well once you update).
For Pocket, I have
extensions.pocket.enabled;false
in my about:config. See https://askubuntu.com/a/1083166/248158 for how to do that (and other stuff) via a policy. Here are my policies:
{
"policies": {
"DisableFirefoxStudies": true,
"DisablePocket": true,
"DisableTelemetry": true,
"DisableSetDesktopBackground": true
}
}
Now, regarding the bookmarks. If I'm on a page which I haven't already bookmarked, I see a hollow star enclosed in red in the image below:
If the page is already bookmarked, the star is filled. Its color may depend on your gtk3 theme.
If you don't see the star at all, see if https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1203256 helps.

It's quite simple.
First right-click on the Pocket icon and select 'Remove from Address Bar'. Then click the 'page actions' (three dots) icon, right-click on 'Bookmark This Page', and select 'Add to Address Bar'.
You can do the same (i.e. add/remove) with other actions that the 'page actions' list provides.
