Most of my bookmarks are missing from left bookmarks toolbar. They are in my bookmark library and a search for a bookmark not showing in the toolbar still brings up the right entry. I've closed firefox; rebooted. How do I get all bookmarks to appear?

Places Maintenance {web link} Allows to run Maintenance tasks on the database that drives Places, the bookmarks and history module behind Firefox.

Open the Add-ons Manager. Locate the add-on and press the Options button. Select All of the tests. Then press Execute on the bottom.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
