Bookmarks tool bar is gone

At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and check Bookmarks Toolbar.
This is the auto answer...What is the "Firefox button"? This new version sucks!

Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and check "Menu Bar".
Your bookmarks are accessible from the Bookmarks button on the navigation toolbar. It's the wide button on the right side of the address bar with a star to its left.
Your history is accessible from the History button under the ≡ Menu Button panel. You can right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize, then drag the History button onto the navigation toolbar if you like (that's the area with the Back/Forward buttons and the address bar).
If you'd like to completely revert Firefox's appearance, install the Classic Theme Restorer add-on and restart Firefox when prompted.

  • Do I still have firefox? yesterday, my firefox changed entirely. My tool bar is gone. I can't see how to access my bookmarks, history, etc. I don't know wha

    Two days ago, I had Firefox as my internet browser, and it worked as it had for years. It had a tool bar at the top with File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, etc.
    Yesterday, when I was on the internet, I noticed that my home page and tabs looked different. Then I noticed that the Firefox tool bar was gone.
    I don't know what version of Mozilla Firefox I had two days ago, but when I checked my programs, it says that on 5/13/2014 I have Mozilla Firefox 29.0.1 (x86 en-US).
    I know enough about computers to function, but I don't understand some of the terminology in the help articles to see what I need to do to fix my firefox.
    Please help me figure out what happened and restore my firefox to the user-friendly browser - with words instead of pictures - that it was before.

  • How do I get a Vista 64 bit XP machine to show a "+" icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" and the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar?

    I have Firefox 4.0.1 installed on two laptops, one with Windows Vista, 64 bit and the other with Windows XP. Both machines have the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar. The XP machine also has a + icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" while the Vista machine does not have that + icon. I like using that; is there any way to get it on the Vista machine?

    After weeks of trying, I stumbled on the solution:
    # Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip, select Customize... and the Customize Toolbar window will open.
    # At the bottom of the Customize Toolbar window, there are additional options for changing the appearance of the icons in your toolbars. From the Show drop-down menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars — Icons, Text, or Icons and Text together. By default, Firefox just shows Icons.
    # Select Icons and Text
    # When you are finished making changes, click Done to close the Customize Toolbar window.

  • How do I get the bookmarks in the bookmarks tool bar to actually display in FF4?

    In V4, when I turn the bookmarks tool bar on as described in the help, Firefox creates a blank row in the tool bar area, but the bookmarks in my toolbar still do not show. I've tried to turn on display of the tool bar through both the Options menu and by right clicking in the tool bar area - both approaches create a blank row in the tool bar area, but neither actually shows the bookmarks stored in the tool bar.

    Answering my own question, I right clicked the empty tool bar, went to Customize, Add New Tool Bar - the bookmarks tool bar suddenly appeared and no new tool bar was added. Clearly there is a glitch in displaying the book marks tool bar, but at least I have it back!

  • With this new version, my bookmarks side bar is gone. How do I get the side bar back?

    When I updated to the new Firefox 4 my bookmarks side bar is gone. The bookmarks are still there under the bookmark drop down menu, but I want to know how I can "pin" it back to the side. of the screen.

    It works!!! Thank you so much!

  • My bookmarks tool bar will not take me to website

    I have many items on my bookmark tool bar. All of a sudden, they do not take me to the web address they used to. I have made no change to my options and cannot figure out why this is no longer working. When I mouse over the bookmark, it tells me in the lower left screen the web site assigned to the bookmark

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • How can I delete a folder from my bookmarks tool bar?

    I created a folder, now known as "new folder" for my bookmarks tool bar. I have never put any bookmarks into it, and now I want to get rid of it. Moving it above or below the tool bar does not work. How do I do this?

    Right-click this folder and choose Delete.

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Also '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Rightclick a bookmark on the Bookmarks Tool Bar and click Properties

    If I right click a bookmark on the Bookmarks Tool Bar and click properties Firefox freezes and I don't get the properties. Is this a known issue?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See:
    * [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • How do I lock the bookmark tool bar AND the menu toolbar

    Why don't you allow one to LOCK the Bookmarks Toolbar? Why don't you allow one to LOCK the menu toolbar?
    This is insane. Sometimes my bookmarks toolbar is here, sometimes it disappears. There is no way to lock it so it stays in sight. Don't blame my anti-virus program, the tool bar stayed locked in place until you "Updated" firefox, and now you can't find a darned thing. It's so frustrating I may go back to IE...at least there, I knew I"d always be able to find AND lock a tool bar.
    Your support doesn't.
    I'm not the only one having problems with this.

  • I have no "File - Edit - History - Bookmarks tool bar at the top of my screen and can't figure out how to get it!

    new desktop, new user of Windows 7. Made Firefox my browser as always, with Yahoo as my home page. There is no tool bar at the top of my screen that says "File - Edit -- History __ etc the way I have always had! I can't figure out how to get this, and I need it! Help!!

    Press the alt key next to the spacebar. Do you see it now? If so, click View -> Toolbars" and check the Menu bar. See [[Menu bar is missing]] for more information.

  • My bookmark tool bar does not show even though I checked it under Options.

    When I go to FireFox/Help the toolbar shows. How can I get the tool bar to show?

    Part of me understands the need to have purchases protected.  I hope this does not get more and more complicated for "within family use".  It is nice to buy music and share it with my wife, as we used to do with books prior to the iBooks "upgrade" - which mostly consisted of making it impossible to share books.  Thanks though for your response;  I was hoping for some luck and that maybe I had missed some simple step.  To Apple:  lighten up.
    Best regards and thanks again for taking the time -
