My bookmarks toolbar has disappeared

A couple of days ago my bookmarks toolbar disappeared. If I go through the View/Toolbars menu it is ticked and if I click on the Menu button and select Library/Bookmarks/Bookmarking Tools it gives me the option to hide the bookmarks toolbar so I presume it's still there somewhere but I can't see it. Any suggestions please?

Chosen solution

The Bookmarks Toolbar disappearing can be caused by a problem with using "Restore Previous Session" as the startup setting, so if you restore the session automatically on the next start then try to disable this feature.

  • Options/Preferences -> General -> Startup

Once the Bookmarks Toolbar has reappeared then you can re-enable the "Restore Previous Session" startup setting and check if the Bookmarks Toolbar stays visible on next starts.

The computer has been restarted since the problem first occurred and it hasn't made a difference, thanks.
