Missing Bookmarks Toolbar

I accidentally installed a softonic toolbar and it replaced my bookmarks toolbar. When I uninstalled softonic it removed the toolbar but my bookmarks toolbar didn't reappear. Now I have a gap between my tabs and my address bar and I can't view a full page because safari thinks the top of the page is behind the address bar and not below the tabs toolbar. I have tried everything to do with preferences and customizing the toolbars but nothing seems to work. However, when safari is loading I do get a glimpse of my bookmarks toolbar, but I can't click on it and when the page loads it just becomes a gap.
Can anybody help?

Think you posted in the wrong forum. You posted this in the Mail section of the iPhone forum.

Bookmarks disappeared in bookmarks drop down menu and bookmarks toolbar disappeared too after upgrading

I still have all my bookmarks so they are not lost (I can find them under 'bookmarks'>'Edit bookmarks' and also when I put them in the left side windowframe by clicking 'View'>'Sidebar'>'Bookmarks'
I saw them appear once again in the dropdown menu but now they're gone again.
The Firefox help page suggest to go to the 'add ons window' and select 'Extentions'>'Torbutten' but I don't even have that. They say that if you don't find the button, that means the torbutton is not installed. And then they leave you without another possibility. But I think that's only for when your bookmarks are totally lost anyway.
I always use the drop down menu and the bookmarks toolbar so would love to get it back. Adding, erasing and moving the bookmarks in the 'edit bookmarks' window all works just fine.

This issue can also be caused by a missing "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" 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 Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

I cannot see my bookmarks toolbar - the gap is there for it and it is ticked in View and shows in Booksmarks drop-down menu but is invisible (or gone so far to left that it can't be got at), I think it happened after I added eBay sidebar for Firefox.

Any help welcome. I have tried just re-starting Firefox and I have tried adding bookmarks to it, but still can't see it.

This issue can also be caused by a missing "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on the Bookmarks Toolbar.

The sprocket at the upper right end of the bookmark toolbar is missing--how do I get it back?

While attempting to figure out how to get the dotted square or blank icon to turn into a favicon, I noticed that the subject of my question was missing. I do not mean the internet options sprocket that is in the drop down menu under the 3 lines icon at the right end of the address/search menu bar.
Also, if you can give me any clues to how to fix the favicon issue, I would appreciate that.
Thank you.

I'm sorry but I don't remember there normally being a "gear" or "sprocket" icon on the right end of the Bookmarks Toolbar. Mine generally has an overflow icon (>>) which shows more bookmarks in a drop-down list. Do you have that one?
Do you have any bookmark-related add-ons that might have added the other icon? Perhaps it needs an update. You can check the status of your extensions and check for updates on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then:
(1) Make sure any bookmark-related extensions are enabled. Disabled extensions cluster at the bottom of the list on a gray background.
(2) Use the "gear" button above the list to Check for Updates.
Any improvement?

After updating to newest, firefox the change icon in properties (bookmarks) is missing, can I get it again somehow? Since I like to make my own icons in bookmark toolbar

I have made a bookmark toolbar with all my fav sites, a lot of sites have not made a icon logo, so I make one,,, By using the change icon in properties (right click on the icon) But this feature is not in the newest firefox update.
How can I get it again? is there a specific extension fx??

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Latest Firefox issues#os=mac&browser=fx9|Icons missing in the Bookmarks menu]]
Or use this extension to restore missing Favicons --> '''CheckPlaces 2.6.1'''
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/checkplaces/
Check and tell if its working.

Menu and Bookmark toolbars are missing upon restart of Firefox, although they are recoverable by left clicking on remaining toolbar. V31 and Windows 7.

As question states, the menu toolbar and bookmark toolbars are missing upon restart.
Both are fully recoverable as customized, but then disappear again upon restart.

I deleted the localstore.rdf.
But, I usually run Norton's Utilities 2012 "clean disk" upon closing down computer. The problem is something Norton is doing.
Firefox is storing my configuration/profile related to showing the two toolbars in some fashion (perhaps as a temp file), that Norton is erasing it.
Norton isn't deleting the customization/uniqueness of the toolbars.
Just that they don't show upon restarting.
There is probably a way for Firefox to store this "permanently".
Thanks for the help so far. The fix may not be something Firefox can do.

Some Bookmarks Missing from Toolbar

Recently about 1/3 of my toolbar bookmarks will not show up on the actual toolbar. When I go to Bookmarks and then Bookmarks Toolbar, the last three are missing. However, when I go to Bookmarks and then Organize Bookmarks, the missing ones still appear under the folder here. I've tried readding them to the toolbar but when I restart firefox they go missing again.

There are a couple possibilities:
# There are too many bookmarks in your toolbar, so some are hidden. (Check the dropdown menu at the end of the bookmarks toolbar to see if they're here)
# There may be a problem with the toolbar settings. Launch Firefox in [[Safe Mode]], choose '''Reset toolbars and controls''', and press '''Make changes and restart'''.
For more information, see [[Bookmarks not saved]]

When I reopen Firefox my Bookmarks Toolbar is missing

I am running Firefox 4 (I was running the beta 12 version, but I'm assuming it upgraded automatically) on Windows XP SP3.
I use Norton Utilities 14.5.0.120. I use the "Clean your Disks" option, which, among other things, deletes the cache, history, address bar and cookies from my browsers. After I do this and then open Firefox, my window size is reset and my Bookmarks Toolbar is missing. The Bookmarks are all still saved, but I have to recheck the Bookmarks Toolbar option under Toolbars, under View.
I have been using Norton Utilities for about a year now and this never happened before, when I was using earlier versions of Firefox.
I will attach the Troubleshooting info from this session (screen size is correct and Bookmarks Toolbar is in place) and then I will run Norton Utilities "Clean Your Disks" and attempt to post the troubleshooting info from the changed Firefox (probably as a comment).
Thanks

Navigation and bookmark toolbars are missing

The navigation and bookmark toolbars are missing. They are checked in toolbars menu, when I try to customize a toolbar and drag a item onto the toolbar, it disappears. I clicked on reset the default configuration, nothing has changed. I tried starting safe mode and resetting the toolbars, didn't help. I tried re-installing firefox, didn't help. Any ideas?

Did you find the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] ?
Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder
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)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

When I use Firefox without menu bar I can see bookmarks. How ever when I activate menu bar the bookmark is missing from toolbar. I tried opening in safe mode and resetting toolbar but it didn't fix the issue. I am using version 7.0

Do you mean the Bookmarks Menu button on the Navigation Toolbar?
You only see that button if the menu bar is hidden.

Option to create new folder on bookmarks toolbar by right-clicking is missing

The title says it all. This option has been available forever and recently it has gone missing -- it is not listed in the context menu. I can still create new folders that appear on the bookmarks toolbar by going to:
Bookmarks-->"Show All Bookmarks" and then right-clicking on the "Bookmarks Toolbar" heading
The right-click option is still available there. But it is also missing when I go to Bookmarks and right-click on "Bookmarks Toolbar". The option is listed in the context menu but it is greyed out.
I have not made any changes to FF in recent memory, although I do not pay much attention to automatic updates. This is not urgent. It was just a convenient option and it has disappeared for no apparent reason.

Thanks. That had some effect. The option to create a new folder is no longer greyed out in the context menu when I navigate to:
Bookmarks-->"Bookmarks Toolbar"
and right click on the latter. However, the action does not work and the option is still missing from the context menu of the bookmarks toolbar itself.

Firefox opens new window when link is clicked but the bookmarks toolbar is missing

When I start up firefox, the original window displays my bookmark toolbar. But when I click a link where firefox opens a new window, not a new tab, the new window doesn't display my bookmark toolbar. I made sure that it was toggled to be on, and the original window has it, but the new one does not. I don't know how to fix it and it's really irritating because I use the toolbar a lot.

Firefox 4: the angle brackets are missing at the end of the bookmarks toolbar, just the Bookmarks arrow for ALL bookmarks

I can't access the overflow of my toolbar bookmarks without calling up all the bookmarks.

You can remove the Bookmarks Menu button on the Bookmarks Toolbar with code in userChrome.css
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

Refresh button is missing from location bar and bookmarks toolbar is blank when I first start FF30

When I start Firefox 30, my bookmarks toolbar is blank. I have to deselect it in View > toolbars then reselect it and they appear.
Also my refresh button at the far right of the location bar has disappeared and all I see is a magnifying glass.
Another issue I now have is that when I copy and paste the URL for any page into the location bar, this then triggers a Google search and doesnt go directly to the page associated with the URL.
I have tried renaming the FF profile and uninstalling/reinstalling FF but this hasnt resolved.
Any pointers to what my next step should be would be most welcome.
Im using Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit

Hi Tora Bisu,
Thanks for the reply, however this didnt help me because you didnt tell me where to find the setting "hide urls stop/reload button", and i couldnt find it myself.
However I did resolve the issue myself by disabling addons one by one and reenabling them til I discovered the culprit.
The culprit as i discovered was the Classic Theme Restorer, which has now been duly disabled and will not be used again.

Application shortcut for bookmarks toolbar not working on firefox for mac

OS X allows users to assign shortcut keys to arbitrary menu items. I'm trying to add an application shortcut to firefox to show/hide the bookmarks toolbar (in my case, I'd like to use cmd-ctrl-L, but I've tried others too), however the shortcut key doesn't work. I can see the menu item flash as if the OS is trying to activate it, but the bookmarks toolbar doesn't toggle. Manually clicking the menu item does work.
Any ideas? Is this a known bug? Am I missing something obvious?

Nope. Haven't solved it, and I'm convinced I can't from this end. The only thing helping me is the extension I mentioned above, but that fix is very specific to showing/hiding the bookmark bar.
