Type about:preferences<enter> in the address bar is another way. On the toolbar, there should be an icon that is three lines on top of each other. Is it missing?

Type about:customizing<enter> in the address bar. In the new window, look for the icon. When you find it, hold down the left button on it, and move it to where you want it to be. You can move any of the icons you want from here, but some icons are locked in place.

There is also a Restore Defaults button at the bottom middle.
