Do you still see the bookmarks in the Bookmarks/History Manager (Library) or sidebar (View > Sidebar; Ctrl+B)?

  • Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks

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

  • Firefox menu button > Options
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • 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 toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar

You can also check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
