Firefox automatically reshows bookmarks toolbar any time I save a bookmark using the "Star" option even though it is set to not display.

I have to manually turn it off even though it is turned off.

Can you PLEASE honor my setting by NOT turn it on in the first place?... in other words, without having to manually turn it off again!

This gets very annoying and it wastes space when displaying web pages.

Thank you!

Hi Bill

I notice that you are using an older version of Firefox about a year old.

I strongly recommend that you update so that you have the latest security and stability fixes that may help resolve the issue that you are experiencing.

That is normal if you save the new bookmark to the Bookmarks Toolbar. If you save it to Other Bookmarks or to the Bookmarks Menu, then that should not happen.

If you aren't given a choice of where to save a new bookmark, try this: on a bookmarked page, press Ctrl+D to open the editing panel and check the box near the bottom for "Show editor when saving".
