Bookmarks icon disappears from the Navigation Toolbar

There are two different bookmarks icons available for the Navigation Toolbar:
– a drop-down list version (distinguishable by its down-arrow)
– a panel version that opens the Bookmarks panel on the left side of the screen
The panel version works just fine for me if I drag it onto my Navigation Toolbar from the Customize Toolbar menu, but I prefer the drop-down list version. When I put the drop-down list version onto my Navigation Toolbar, it seems to work at first. However, when I click "Done" on the Customize Toolbar menu, the Bookmarks icon (drop-down list version) disappears!
Removing and adding it does not solve the problem.
Choosing "Restore Default Set" does not solve the problem, even though the drop-down list version is part of the default set.
Side notes:
1) The Reload and Stop icons also disappear, but I expect that, since they effectively merge into the location bar.
2) Other odd behavior: If I put the panel version icon immediately to the left or right of the Reload, then the Reload icon remains in the Navigation Toolbar (to the right of the location bar). The Stop icon does not exhibit this behavior; it always disappears. After playing around for a bit, I ended up in a situation where the Reload icon would never disappear, no matter which icon was next to it. I was only able to stop this behavior by choosing "Restore Default Set".

This might be a problem with the way Ubuntu modifies Firefox.
Does disabling Ubuntu Firefox Modifications has any effect?

Note that you will only see the Bookmarks Menu button with the drop-down list when the menu bar is hidden and Ubuntu displays window menus in the control bar at the top of the screen with the switch to the Unity window manager.

  • What should I do to keep icons from disappearing from the navigation toolbar every few days? These are icons I dragged to the toolbar from the Customize screen.

    I have several icons on the navigation toolbar that I dragged from the Customize screen. Every few days these icons disappear. In order to get them back, I have to drag them again from the Customize screen. How can I keep this from happening? I'm using Firefox 8.0.1, but the same thing happened in earlier versions.

  • I have a FreeAgent Goflex drive (for Mac) after a while the icon disappears from the desktop and can only be restored by reconnecting

    I have a FreeAgent GoFlex backup drive (for Mac) after a while the icon disappears from the desktop and can only be restored by reconnecting the firewire. This also happens when I use the USB connection as well. Thanks

    Did you use any of the "sleep" drivers supplied? I have found it best to just totally reformat/erase the drives and let the OS handle them.

  • Half of my bookmarks have disappeared from the Bookmarks Toolbar, they can be restored by closing and reopening the browser, but it's inconvenient. How can I fix this?

    During browsing I notice that from time to time half of my bookmarks disappear from the bookmarks toolbar. I don't think it's related to their creation date as I have old and new bookmarks intermingled across the bar. What can I be doing to cause this, or what is happening that I can fix?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I need the Step by step "dummies" version of how to delete outdated sites from the navigation toolbar.

    My 12 year old daughter would like to remove a few websites from our navigation tool bar and we can't figure out how to delete. All the questions answered on this site so far require a PHD in IT. Can someone please provide us a step by step version on how to remove a few simple sites? Thanks!

    Hello Amy.
    I think we need to clear things out a bit in terms to terminology: the navigation toolbar is the toolbar where, by default, you have the back/forth buttons, the location bar and so on. What you're probably talking about is the bookmarks toolbar, where, by default, some of your bookmarks (those that are stored there) appear. Rightclicking them and selecting ''Delete'' is probably all you need to do?

  • Why has my safari icon disappeared from the applications bar after the recent software update?

    Everything was working perfectly until I uploaded the most recent software update. When I restarted my laptop I found that the Safari icon had disappeared from my applications bar.  If I go to my 'recent places' and click on Safari it then reappears but only until I close the laptop down as the next time I start it up, it's nowhere to be seen.  Can anyone help?  

    by applications bar you mean "dock"? After you click on recent places and start safari it will reappear in the dock and at this point you will want to control + click (right click) on the SAFARI icon and hover to options, make sure that "KEEP IN DOCK" has a check mark next to it. If it does not, click that option. Now it will keep the Safari Icon in your dock.

  • Palm Pre Email icon disappears from the menu bar

    Sometime today, the email icon from the menu bar magically disappeared and is now only visible when I tap the launcher and it appears at the very bottom of last page. I have no idea how or when this happened. Any ideas?

    You might have accidently dragged it onto the app area. Just tap, hold and drag back onto the launcher

  • Suddenly, my custom url buttons disappeared from the navigation bar and I can no longer add new ones. FF22

    I am using Firefox 22 (I like its features and do not want the features added in later version.) I have added a handful of custom URL buttons to the navigation bar that allow me to go instantly to websites I visit frequently. There was/is a function in Firefox for adding such buttons. This morning, after leaving my computer on all night, I found that the custom buttons had disappeared and I could no longer find the function for adding new ones. Can you tell me what has happened and how I can add custom URL buttons? I will appreciate your help. Thank you.

    I solved my own problem. This function was added by Google Shortcuts, which somehow became disabled. After fussing ariound for a few minutes. I was able to restore it.

  • Why was "Recent pages" downarrow removed from the navigation toolbar in Firefox 4? It showed recent pages for each open tab. I used it quite a bit and won't "upgrade" until it's back!

    A missing "recent pages" button missing from Internet Explorer is one reason I don't use IE.
    Recent pages used to be the down arrow to the right of the "Go forward one page" right arrow. Please restore ASAP

    Use this to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

  • The bookmarks button is missing from the navigation tool bar. When I right click and select customize it appears and when I click done on the customization box button, it disappears.

    The bookmarks button is missing from the navigation toolbar. It appears when I right click on the navigation and click customize. As soon as I close the customization window it disappears again. I can no longer access the library to back up my bookmarks. Why did you change it from Firefox 3 where you could clock on the bookmarks tab and be able to backup your bookmarks?

    Actually the Bookmarks Menu button doesn't appear because you have the Menu Bar visible in your first screenshot. The Bookmarks Menu button should appear to the right of the overflow chevron on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the Menu Bar is hidden.

  • Airport icon disappeared from menu bar

    For one of my two Users, the Airport icon disappeared from the menu bar. Now I cannot turn Airport on or off. Internet Connect only shows the internal modem. Restarting the computer did not solve the problem.
    It has worked well until yesterday, all of a sudden the icon was gone. Airport Admin does work, and it restarts the base station when I change something (I changed the password just to test this). So the hardware is working.
    If I log on as a different user, the icon is there, and everything works as normal. It therefore seems to be a set-up problem at one of the users.
    I would appreciate any help on this one.
    Thanks in advance,
    Maarten

    Maarten,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Go to Apple -> System Preferences -> Network. Select the AirPort Entry from the list of Network Devices, and click the "Configure..." button.
    If not already there, navigate to the "AirPort" tab, and check the "Show AirPort status in menu bar" checkbox at the bottom of the window.
    This should put it back up there.
    Let me know if you need more help.

    You are now chatting with Firefox community member zzxc<br />
    zzxc: Hello<br />
    zzxc: Is it still in the add-ons tab/<br />
    steve: hi. i dont see it. it usually is on the menu bar towards the left, at least before i did this upgrade<br />
    steve: actually, i realize i dont know what an add-on tab loos like- previously it just floated between the "latest headlines" etc and the bookmark toolbar<br />
    zzxc: look in Firefox->Addons<br />
    steve: i'm on an imac osX snow leopard. i see add-ons under firefox>tools>addons, but when i click on that, nothing is opening<br />
    zzxc: try going to about:addons in Firefox's address bar<br />
    steve: if i understand, firefox>about just tells me that im using 8.0beta. the only place i see the word add-ons is under tools. unless im unclear about where you mean by firefox's address bar, which i'm thinking means the bar with my own bookmarks menu. the bar with the URL- i don't see anything on that like you describe.<br />
    zzxc: ok - when you try to go to tools->addons, nothing happens?<br />
    steve: it didnt my first 3 tries, and it opened a page which says: about:addons in the URL spot, and "add-ons manager" in the tab<br />
    steve: just now opened that page<br />
    steve: forgive my typing<br />
    zzxc: ok - in there, look in Extensions. is downloadhelper enabled there?<br />
    zzxc: (click it - you should see a disable button if it's enabled)<br />
    steve: i assume it is enabled because the button there reads: disable"<br />
    steve: btw, the i-click youtubedownloader and SpeakingFox say they’re incompatible with 8.0.<br />
    zzxc: so it seems to be enabled<br />
    zzxc: right click the toolbar and go to customize<br />
    zzxc: see if the downloadhelper button is in the customize window<br />
    steve: it's not there. the only addon there i recognize is Zotero<br />
    zzxc: Do you see the downloadhelper logo on youtube video pages, to the left of the video title?<br />
    zzxc: eg. look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpzUCA5i6zY<br />
    zzxc: try with just downloadhelper enabled and no other add-ons enabled<br />
    zzxc: other add-ons could be interfering with downloadhelper<br />
    steve: ok i'll try that now- since the downloadhelper logo wasnt on the youtube page<br />
    steve: ok. i disabled all except downloadhelper<br />
    steve: but no downloadhelper logo appears anywhere on the toolbars or anywhere above<br />
    zzxc: is there an error in Error Console about it?<br />
    zzxc: command+shift+J on a mac<br />
    steve: when i clicked on the errors tab, the window under it was blank<br />
    zzxc: In Firefox, open the Firefox->Help menu and choose Troubleshooting Information. On the page that opens, click Copy all to clipboard. Finally, paste the clipboard into this chat by using CTRL+V. (You can also paste by right clicking and pressing paste)<br />
    steve: ok thanks brb<br />
    steve: hi zz. i clicked on COPY TO CLIPBD but it didnt do anything i could see. (is the clipboard something i find somewhere else? i am able to cut n paste that entire page if you want.<br />
    zzxc: press CTRL+V in this chat<br />
    zzxc: that should paste it here.
