Bookmarks toolbar has disappeared from under address bar

A couple of days ago the bookmarks toolbar disappeared. It may have coincided with me installing the Amazon wishlist add-on; I'm not sure. The article I read in the help forum said to right-click where the open space is, and a pop-up window would appear. When I right-click, nothing happens. I've also tried opening the Bookmarks menu, deselecting "View Bookmarks Toolbar" and reselecting, and nothing happens. Neither does restarting the browser.

Any other ideas for getting the toolbar to reappear where it's supposed to be?

so either the file that holds the customization of the user interface is corrupted or one of the addons is interfering.

in order to reset the UI, go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on profile folder/show folder and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named localstore.rdf - it will be regenerated again the next time you launch the browser.

otherwise if the former doesn't work, you may have to go through your extensions and disable them one by one until you find out which one is causing this...

hello, does it work when you press the alt-key and make sure that the bookmarks toolbar is enabled under view > toolbars?

Hi philipp, I just tried what you suggested. The bookmarks toolbar was already enabled there. I tried unchecking and re-checking to be sure, but it still doesn't work.

Thanks.

does the toolbar show up when you launch firefox in safe mode once?
