How do I get my bookmarks to show up on the Bookmarks Toolbar? The Bookmarks Toolbar is just blank, even though it lists all of my bookmarks listed under it when I open up my bookmarks.

I've used the Bookmarks Toolbar for a while. I was using Firefox last night, when I noticed that it was empty. I've gone to View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbars and checked and unchecked it several times, but all that comes up is an empty toolbar. I've also open up my bookmarks, and all of my bookmarks saved under Bookmarks Toolbar are still there and the links seem to work. I've also shut down and restarted my computer, but the Bookmarks Toolbar is still empty and I don't know what to do.

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar

  • Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
  • Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Thanks. Apparently the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" wasn't on the Bookmarks Toolbar. That cleared it up.
