Why do my toolbar bookmarks keep disappearing??

Lately the bookmarks toolbar on my browser continually just disappears. I have used this toolbar for several months with no problems and now it just suddenly frequently isn't there. I never mess with my settings, I check the configurations and it is set to show the toolbar. Usually when I restart the computer completely (not just the browser) they come back but his is such a pain! I use Firefox to do research and my folders on the toolbar are a big part of that. Help please! I just want my bookmarks handy again! Thanks!
