I can see where the bookmarks toolbar should go, as when I deselect, it goes away, but when selected, I cannot see the bookmarks that are listed in my bookmarks toolbar. I can see them when I choose show all bookmarks, just not as a one button item I had before in the bookmarks toolbar. Not happy. Is there a fix, or should I look to Chrome?

Hi there. Sorry to hear about the problems you've encountered. It sounds like you still have a bookmarks toolbar visible, but you don't see the bookmarks that you expect in it? If so, this article walks you through how to move around bookmark folders including placing them on the bookmark toolbar: http://mzl.la/LgyXG3

If the problem is instead that the bookmark toolbar is no longer visible, you can turn it back on again by following these simple steps: http://mzl.la/MpXk94

Hope this helps. :)

Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.

  • 3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to show the Menu bar)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Open the Customize window via the button in the 3-bar Firefox menu button drop-down list.

  • check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup
