Bookmarks tab on right side of menu gone

I used to have a bookmarks tab on the right hand side of the menu by the (house icon) homepage tab. I still have the bookmarks tab in the toolbar grouping, but really liked the handy bookmarks drop-down tab by itself on the right side.

How do I get it back? Thanks.

You only see the Bookmarks Menu button if the menu bar with the Bookmarks menu is hidden (View > Toolbars > [] Menu Bar).

Is it in the toolbar customize window? It would be called "Bookmarks Toolbar Items".

There isn't one called Bookmarks Toolbar items in my customize window, only one called Bookmarks, and it only brings up Bookmarks history.

I do still have Bookmarks, just not that neat little extra one on the right side of the menu strip that was easier to get to. It was there, then I did something, and it just disappeared. Aggravating.

Thank you, though...

Thnaks Cor-el, that solved it. I must have inadvertently brought up the Menu Bar. I'd rather have just the Bookmarks Toolbar handy and bring up the rest when I need them, because I rarely need the others just surfing.

Thanks again!

You had tried to help me before with the problem of the Amazon website images/pics not loading correctly, and nothing helped. (the left side of page loaded images, the right side didn't). Funny thing is, it periodically works fine for a number of days, then goes right back into this weird functioning for weeks at a time.

I'm wondering if it might be an issue between Mozilla and Vista? I've never had this problem at work with XP.

It is more likely that you have some security or cleanup software that is causing problems.

So check out the settings and make sure that those programs do not mess with files in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not particularly Computer Savvy. Once I got in there, I really didn't know what I was looking for...
