In previous versions of Firefox, when you selected the bookmarks toolbar, a tick was placed there. This meant everytime that Firefox was opened, it was displayed... Now it has to be selected every time... :(

Can you tell me which setting in 'about:config' I need to change to restore this function please?

Kind Regards

Hi ideato, unfortunately this trick does not work!

I have tried this before, it works for a few times and as soon as you log off/restart, you are back to square one!!!

Kind Regards

Bob
