Using Firefox 8.0.1 on an iMac. When I open Firefox, the bookmarks toolbar is fine, but when I login to Hotmail, it opens a new window and the toolbar disappears.

Under the View menu, the bookmarks toolbar is still checked but the toolbar isn't there.

Websites can suppress the appearance of toolbars on popup windows that they open.

Do you really need the Bookmarks Toolbar to appear when viewing your email at Hotmail?

If so, Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Filter = dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar = double-click that pref to toggle it to true and then restart Firefox.

Thanks edmeister, and you're right, probably could use multiple windows and not need the Bookmarks Toolbar when viewing hotmail, but the popup window allowed tabs so then would use that window instead of multiple windows and then would miss the toolbar.

Strangely enough, today it is showing the toolbars with the Hotmail account.
