I loaded latest firefox update today (15 Feb) and now cannot add bookmarks by just clicking on "bookmarks toolbar". How can this feature be restored? If it can't how do I get rid of latest upload?

Chosen solution

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

  • Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
  • Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in 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 set up

Hi mdah,

You should take a look at the Bookmarks Knowledge Base article. Making bookmarks is really easy. There are a ton of different ways to do it, but the fastest is probably just clicking on the star in the address bar when you are looking at a page you want to bookmark.

There are a lot of benefits to running the latest version of Firefox. I'm not sure what feature is you are missing, but you should consider leaving feedback for the developers so that they can continue to improve the product.

If you still want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a look at the Knowledge Base article Install an older version of Firefox.

Hopefully this helps!
