I am having a problem that just started with the latest version of Firefox (regular, current stable release; 10 I believe. It came out today). Whenever I launch Firefox, the bookmarks toolbar is now empty, other than the "Bookmarks" icon on the far right. If I go to Options, the bookmarks toolbar remains checked, but none of my personal links are displayed. If I untick/retick the Bookmarks Toolbar option, all of my toolbar links re-appear. However, the next time I launch Firefox, they are gone again. This issue only occurs in standard Firefox, and has only started with the new update (this happened once before too, but somehow resolved itself). I also have Nightly, and a version of Aurora that came with TOR, on the same computer, and neither have any issue (although TOR's included Aurora release doesn't access my own bookmarks, it does display the default toolbar bookmarks fine). I am wondering how to fix this issue with Firefox, because an empty bookmarks toolbar kinda defeats the purpose. Thanks

Are you using separate profile folders for each Firefox version?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, opening in safemode does not show the Bookmarks toolbar, so it cannot possibly solve the problem.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

  • Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
  • Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • If missing items are in the toolbar 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 toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
