none of the 'articles' addresses the basic question: how do I view my bookmarks? Q&A are useless!

I used to have a menu bar at the top of Firefox, where I could pull down my Bookmarks menu. That has disappeared. Asking 'where are my bookmarks?' leads to useless answers like 'how to bookmark a page.' One suggestion was to click on the menu symbol (you have to guess that it's the 3 bars top right) and click on View menu bars, or something like that; problem is, there is no such option in that menu. Who is responsible for screwing up what used to be a very user-friendly browser? I may have to go back to Explorer, not a happy prospect. Firefox, are you paying attention?

Hi BarryB, in the menu window, toward the bottom, there is a Customize button. When the customize dialog opens, along the bottom, there is "Show/Hide Toolbars".

The 4 bullets are alternate ways to do the same thing, so if two don't work for you, try the others.

To display the menu bar persistently you can either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > Customize > "Show/Hide Toolbars" > Menu Bar
  • tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Menu Bar
  • right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Menu Bar
  • right-click the new tab "+" button on the tab bar > Menu Bar

The "Show/Hide Toolbars" button is around the bottom center of the Customize page if you want to use that one.

Thanks for your effort, but when I hit the Alt key, nothing happens. I don't know what page I'm supposed to be on to start this sequence. It is mystifying to me - I am not computer savvy, just an average user. Firefox has completely destroyed my previous easy-going access to the internet. I am deeply discouraged and disappointed. Their 'suggestions' are useless and frustrating. I am unable to use Firefox any more and I am trying to work with Chrome instead. Why oh why did they mess this up?

I got stuck on line 1 of your reply. In the Menu window, there is no such thing as 'show/hide toolbars'.

Thanks to jscher2000 - your latest reply did the trick! (I wish Firefox was as helpful!). For others with this problem: open the Menu (3 bars top right), then click on Customize; then a bar opens in the BOTTOM LEFT of the screen with options to hide/show toolbars (Menu and Bookmarks). Curiously, logically clicking on the hide/show Bookmarks toolbar didn't help, but clicking on the Menu toolbar restored the Bookmarks line at the top of the Firefox page. Suggestion to Firefox: make this protocol highly visible to people having difficulties with the new look! There is no reference to this in your Q&A under Bookmarks!
