I lost the bookmarks icon on the right side of the menu bar on the top.

I used to have the star on the right side of my header at the top of the page. Somehow it disappeared and I am unable to restore it. (I still have the Bookmarks drop down in the Menu Bar, that is not what I am missing.)

Been through the exact same runaround as the original poster, very confusing and annoying.
So the specific solution is a three-step process:
1. HIDE THE MENU bar by un-checking it in "View"--this gives you the orange Firefox button. NOW you will automatically also be seeing our beloved Bookmarks drop-down on the right of the search box again! Yay!
2. Think to yourelf: Why can't I have both the Menu bar (with "Bookmarks" in it) AND the bookmarks dropdown on the Navigation bar? WHY?? Redundancy is MY CHOICE if I want it. And I do. User should be allowed to choose features on Nav bar independently of what's on other bars. (Obviously.) Programmers should not be allowed to make overriding choices for users about these things. Programmers are terrible at UI design and should be kept out of it aggressively. A separate team should do the UI design, and protect it from programmers.
3. Use the feedback links to tell the "clever" Firefox re-designers to PLEASE LEAVE THE CONTROL INTERFACE ALONE. When a billion people get used to things being a certain way, and they more or less like it that way, and you change it, that means that a billion people will experience a billion hours of frustration and anxiety trying to figure out what the f happened to their trusted, well-liked button or menu. You do not have the right to inflict this suffering--leave it alone. The UI belongs to the users--NOT to the programmers. If it's not broke, DON'T FIX IT!

  • How do I delete my Bookmarks on a Macbook Pro? According to the directions on "Help" it says to open the Bookmark icon and delete from the right. I don't see anything on the right.

    Highlight the Bookmark...hit the delete key.

  • Can I move the bookmarks icon back over to the right side of the Safari bar in iOS 8?

    The bookmarks icon now appears on the left side of the Safari bar in iOS8. Can I move it back to its former place on the right side?

    How very annoying is this so called update, if you are right handed you generally hold the iPad in your left hand and use your right hand to type and use the tabs etc, because Apple have moved the favourite tab to the left it means you have to put your hand straight over the screen which blocks everything.
    Ironically Apple have done some work on the favourites tab by rounding the icons book edges, pity they never thought more about how their customers have to use the tab, as opposed dressing up the favourite icon!

  • Homepage openes too far to the right by 1/2", half covering the 'x' closing icon and the bookmark icon but still permitting scrolling.

    I cannot access the right side of my homepage fully. The page has shifted over to the right of the screen, covering the icons for closing the page and the bookmarks icon by 50%.
    On the left side of the screen the page stops about 1/2" short of the monitor frame.

  • My toolbar doesnt have the bookmark icon on the far right

    no bookmark icon

    Depending on which view you are using there may or may not be a Firefox button if you see the File, View, etc.. buttons then click on View --> Toolbar's --> Customize. If the menu bar is not visible you can press the ALT key on your keyboard to make it appear and disappear. Then click and drag the "Bookmarks" icon to the place where you want it on the toolbar. You can also hit restore default set to reset the toolbar to the default settings.

  • How do I move the Bookmark icon to the left side of the screen in Firefox 8.0?

    I am left handed and after all this time I've lost both the bookmarks icon and the homepage icon to the far right of the screen. Why did you do that, to look like Windows Explorer? If I wanted IE8.0 I would have been using it. And the default search engine is Bing? At least there is a work around to change that. You have really made a mess of this outstanding product.

  • We have a new iPad Mini.  I cannot save a new Bookmark.  In Safari, I go to "Share" and select "Add a Bookmark" yet when I click on the Bookmarks icon, my saved Bookmark is not there.  Am I doing something wrong?

    We have a new iPad Mini, and I'm having inconsistent results using Bookmarks in the Safari icon.
    For a long time, on the iPad, I could only see five items under the Bookmark icons and the Bookmarks Bar was empty. 
    Occasionally, in Safari, the iPad would pick up and display all of the Bookmarks from the Safari browser on my iMac. 
    Other times, there are only a bare few Bookmarks available on the iPad, the Bookmarks Bar goes away and I cannot save a new Bookmark.  It looks like I can save one, but I cannot find it after allegedly saving. 
    Then, all of the Bookmarks will come back and I can save a new Bookmark again. We can't figure out why all of the Bookmarks will show and then they won't.
    I want to think this involves iCloud some way, but for right now, I'm stumped.  Perhaps we're just too inexperienced and haven't come around the learning curve yet.
    Thanks for any help.
    Steve

    No, I see the three areas at the bottom of the Bookmark area that you refer to, but that also highlights an issue.  When I want to save a story to my Reading List and click on Share then "Add to Reading List" then go back to look at what is stored in the Reading List, my recently-saved item is not there.
    I looked thru the History tab and the Reading List tab and have been in the Bookmark tab.  But even when I Save a Bookmark, that newly-saved Bookmark does not show up in the Bookmark area.
    But then again, the next day (and actually just in the last half-hour) all of the functionality came back.  When I look at the Bookmarks, suddenly, again, all of the Bookmarks that are on my Safari browser on my iMac are now there, and I can now Save a Bookmark.
    It keeps coming in and out and that is what is driving me a little nuts.
    Thanks.

  • How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages, How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages

    I struggle to believe that I am the only person experiencing this problem.
    I just hope somebody has the decency to spend a couple of minutes replying with a resolution.
    Every time I click the + sign on my iPad, Safari to open a new tab page..
    I am greeted by loads of icons / boxes that are links to my bookmarks.
    I want to delete those icons / boxes from the page
    If I want to visit one of my bookmarks I use the bookmark icon at the top right of the page.
    If I long press on the icons they do not wobble / delete
    How can I delete them ?
    I dislike them so much I am beginning to think that I will have to stop using safari,
    and use a different search engine.....but I shouldn't have to.

    If you don't want to see these bookmarks when you open a new tab and you don't want to delete them you'll need to move them. Now as you probably know there isn't really a move function for Bookmarks in iPad, so what I'd recommend is Tap Bookmarks>Favourites tap one of the bookmarks in this folder and when it loads up save it to another location on your iPad - repeat for all bookmarks in this folder, once done tap Bookmarks>Favourites select EDIT and delete all bookmarks in the favourites folder.
    You need to bear in mind that FAVOURITES is simply a folder storage area for Bookmarks so any bookmarks you delete from this folder won't be available under Bookmarks unless you follow the process outlined above.

  • In the videos I've seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon. Mine is missing. Any idea why or how to get it.

    In the videos on the website I have seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon for viewing all your open web pages. Mine is missing.Any idea why or how do I put one on?

    Safari now uses tabs in iOS 5 so that icon is no longer in Safari. You have to tap on the + sign on the right side of the toolbar to create a new tab. You can open a new web site in that tab. You navigate from open page to open page by tapping on the tabs.
    To close a tab - tap on the X in the left side of the tab.

  • Can I move the bookmark icon back away from the x-out icon?

    With the latest version of Firefox the bookmark icon moved all the way to the right, just under the icon to x out of the system. It seemed really happy over the left where it had always been. Can I move it back?

  • After updating to Firefox 5 on a Windows 7 PC the bookmarks icon won't stay on the toolbar and I can't click it to get a bookmarks column on the left side of the screen, how do I fix it?

    There was no bookmarks icon on the toolbar. I used View > Toolbars> customise to put various icons on the toolbar all of which were visible using "customise". On going back to Firefox all the other icons remained visible but the Bookmarks Icon disappeared leaving no means of getting a bookmarks column on the left of the screen when using Firefox.

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar<br />
    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should 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" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and 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 you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
