My tool bar is disfunctional. FireFox will not allow me to store any bookmarks to the tool bar.

I saved me bookmarks onto a hard drive. I then transported them back to fireFox, after the machine was upgraded from XP to Windows 7. That was a successful operation. The book marks resided in the show all bookmarks and the tool bar. Just the was they originally were. I then explored using the sidebar option to see how that would work for me. The problem is this: All of the book marks in the tool bar are gone and I can not get them back. Neither can I save any new bookmarks to the tool bar. I even uninstalled FireFox and re-installed. That did not help. What am I to do? Please help.

Sorry if this sounds simplistic, but just to be sure: Have you manually shown the Bookmarks toolbar (which is hidden by default in recent versions of Firefox), as described in the "Show or hide the Bookmarks toolbar" section of this article: Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window

Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.

  • "3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
  • View > Toolbars
    Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • "3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
  • check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the Customize 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 Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup
