The bookmark star on the right side of the toolbar has disappeared. I have read the support articles and can not find anything on how to pin it to the task bar. I restored the tool bar and it did not reappear. What do I need to do to get it back. The bookmark tab is not a convenient.

Chosen solution

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

  • Firefox menu button > Options
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • 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 toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the toolbar 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 toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

Refresh the localstore.rdf file.

SEE: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf

After doing this, the toolbar layout will be reset.
