Silly question: how do I get to the bookmarks in ICS browser?

In earlier Android versions, they were right in the menu list, but I don't see them there at all. I added the bookmarks widget, and now I need to go through it and delete most of the default ones.

I am sure it is a very obvious answer, but I am not seeing it.
 
While in the browser make your way to settings and press the Labs tab, in there is a setting for quick controls. Turning on quick controls enables you to bring up some cool browser options by touching the edge of the screen (windows, explorer bar, and menu).

Press and hold the back button when you're in the browser. Bookmarks is one of the tabs that comes up

is there a way to get this to default to bookmarks and not history? seems like a strange omission to make it so inaccessible. i was used to using launcher pro and swiping up on my app dock to show all bookmarks.
 
thebrain, that is a great tip, thanks! And I will use that for sure. I do wish getting to bookmarks was one level higher though. But, since I have the bookmarks widget, that will probably do the trick for me.
 
Scroll to the top of the page. To the right of the URL is a folder icon. Tap on the icon and on the next screen there's a flag with a star in it. That's the bookmark icon. tap it to get to the bookmarks.
 
I didnt know you could press and hold the back button to get to the bookmarks quickly, thats a great tip!
 
Speaking of bookmarks. Aren't your bookmarks supposed to move from android phone to android phone? Nothing came over from my OG Droid.
