FF v40.0.2 Bookmarks sidebar shows all the bookmarks, but bookmarks toolbar is blank. The option for the toolbar is checked. I cannot add websites to the toolbar any more. I try restart with add-ons disabled. It didn't help.

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

  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • "3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
  • 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 Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the Customize 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 Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup
