Anytime I hot the Bookmarks button or Control+D, the bookmarks window isn't visible. I have to drag my mouse arrow over to the top right corner of the screen to get it to appear, but then is disappears again unless I continuously move my mouse arrow around the small area in the top right hand corner of the screen. I'm using version 8.0.

You can not get bookmarks using either the keyboard shortcut or the menu icons so possibly some other extension is interfering. Try in safe mode

  • do not make changes in the first window, just click on continue.
  • use only the default theme
  • if problems persist, then whilst still in safe mode disable all plugins

If the above actions fail ( THIS LOOSES CUSTOMISATIONS ) then use the safe mode startup option that resets toolbars and controls.
