no bookmarks on the main page

more options

i have about 40 bookmarks listed in the options menu, BUT not a single one shows on the main page, it shows books marks but none of the book marks i have listed show up. HOW do i get the books to show up on the front page, much easier than going back and forth to the set up page.

Here are some ways to make bookmarks easier to access. Do any of these work for you? If not, could you describe what you're looking for in more detail.

(1) Bookmarks Sidebar

On Windows Ctrl+b opens and closes the Bookmarks Sidebar (except on pages that intercept Ctrl+b for other purposes)

(2) Bookmarks Menu toolbar button

To add that button, either:

(A) Use the Customize panel (Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars) to drag the icon to the desired spot on the toolbar

(B) Use the method from Bookmarks in Firefox - section entitled: How do I add the Bookmarks Menu button to the toolbar?

  • Click the "Library" button:
  • Click "Bookmarks"
  • Click "Bookmarking Tools"
  • Click "Add Bookmarks Menu to Toolbar"

(3) Menu Bar

On Windows, the menu bar is normally turned off. To turn different bars on and off, you can use one of these methods to show the toolbar list and select the desired bars there:

  • 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)

To turn on the Menu Bar, Bookmarks Toolbar, or other bars, click it on the list.

   Close browser 
   Back in the browser user data folder, find another "Bookmarks" file without an extension. Rename it "Bookmarks2.bak"
