I just updated Firefox today (9/26/2018). On WIndows 10. The bookmark toolbar is not longer shown. I looked under "Customize" and it's not listed there.

Where is the bookmark toolbar????

Make sure toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible. Open the Customize window and set what toolbars (Show/Hide Toolbars) and toolbar items to display.

  • Right-click empty toolbar area -> Customize
  • "3-bar" menu button -> Customize
  • View -> Toolbars
    *you can tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to show the hidden Menu Bar temporarily
  • 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 to the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window to the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button in the Customize palette window to restore the default toolbar set.

You can try to rename/remove xulstore.json and if present delete localstore.rdf in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

Firefox v. 62.0.3 - No Bookmarks Toolbar, "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" not on Customize panel, even after Restore.

This problem appeared, first, 10/2 after rebooting.

I assume Bookmarks Toolbar still appears on the toolbars list, which you can turn "on" using either:

  • right-click (on Mac Ctrl+click) a blank spot on the tab bar (or the "+" button)
  • (menu bar) View > Toolbars
    On Windows, tap the Alt key to activate the menu bar temporarily.
  • in Customize mode > Toolbars button (see: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars)

Does Firefox show a checkmark for Bookmarks Toolbar there, but it doesn't show in its usual position below the main toolbar?

If the toolbar shows but it's empty, and you can't find the Bookmarks Toolbar Items control anywhere, try the "Restore Defaults" button at the bottom of the Customize tab.

Any improvement?
