    At the far right of the search bar, there should be a star. Click on that, and you have created a bookmark. Alternately, you can press CTRL-D on windows, or CMD-D on Mac

    I have imported my favorites from my Chrome setup on another computer. On my new computer, they show up under an "Imported" folder; I'd like to have them showing up straight away on the bookmark bar.

    Copy and paste the shortcuts in the Bookmark Browser (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+O) from the folder. Then paste at the "Bookmark Bar" folder on the tree.
